I disagree with your friend. If you struggle with mental illness of your own, then you are uniquely qualified to help people with the necessary training. The fact is that normies do not, can not, and will not ever understand what it’s like to have someone in your head trying to kill you. Your own experience equips you with the ability to treat patients with empathy, and the importance of empathy in a healing relationship cannot be overstated.
Blurred. Woke up a couple of hours before alarm with arm pain and one extremely sore eye. My eyedrops seemed to help the right eye yesterday but the left one felt really irritated this time and I put the same eyedrops in it last night. I can't see out of my left eye anyway, maybe I should wear an eyepatch and be a pirate ooh ah. I was due up early today anyway, I've got to be out and about which is difficult when I've had no sleep and look the part of a seriously sleep-starved insomniac, feel a bit anxious about people noticing how dead I look. Oh well, got 6 hours of sleep. According to my watch it was all deep sleep, maybe that's why I woke up feeling so rubbish, I was in a coma. Don't really trust the reading, but I don't recall dreaming so maybe no REM sleep is correct, Oh well here's to a day with less screen time.
Nervous, trying to decompress. We had severe weather warnings nearby tonight. There was a tornado-warned storm that had already produced a "damaging tornado"/"particularly dangerous situation" in eastern Ohio, and it was headed in my direction after having suddenly and unexpectedly strengthened. It weakened again by the time it got to me. The tornado warnings only got as far as western suburbs and not to me before expiring. But I was still very scared, and I don't know if I can sleep tonight.
I feel that way too. It’s so hard to tell anyone about what’s going on because of worry that it could be too heavy to put on them. I mentioned this to my friend last night. I said that I was really emotional over the weekend and I didn’t call because it might be too much to deal with.
He said that no, that’s what friends are for and it’s okay. Which, if I consider the reverse situation, then I would definitely want to be there for him.
Of course I can’t say if that’s true for your contacts. If there is someone you can trust, it is possible to ask ahead of time, like, “hey I am dealing with something serious, but I don’t want to burden you if there’s already too much on your plate.” That gives them the choice, and I doubt they would say no, because it is the nature of human beings to want to help each other.

I'm just upset after admited in hospital twoice for adrenal insufficiency, my family betrayed behind my back and view my personality as "the lazy" one just cause its fatigue is chronic.🙄 My mum literally betrayed me and telling my personal progress when doc had no choice but to call her up to my aunt as well. Omg do I not deserve respect? Anyway. I just been quiet in a way cause its the same thing. Even if I'm on steroid, my fatigue still here and I've been doing whatever I can to catch my energy.
Keeping myself busy with walks, reading, TV, lunch with my son, which was a bonus ( and he wasn't snarky). But I lay in my bed and think so much about the past and what I could've done differently. It haunts me. How my children could have had a different and better life if I didn't act rashly. Then I think about how many years I have left and how fast time goes. I'm all over the place. Plus I caught a slight cold. I'm glad to have SF and the few people I do have in my life. Hope everyone here is doing as well as possible today.
