I am in need of female support

Madalyn

To start with I am 18 years old and my life is filled with a bunch of craziness. I am just looking for someone that I can talk with that can relate to anything in any way. I have POTS, chronic fatigue, hyper mobility, EDS, sever migraines, chorionic pain, depression, and I don’t remember the name because it is a newly diagnosed thing but my vocal cords interferes with my breathing. Being 18 and in college all my friends are healthy and always wanting to go party and get drunk but with all of my medication I can’t do that. They don’t understand what I go through on a daily basis and that makes it hard to really get close with any of them. I am just feeling pretty alone lately and could use a little empowerment before I fall off the face of the earth.

I am 25 and have Eds, Pots, Crps, fibromyalgia, arthritis and some other ones so I know how you feel. A lot of my friends didn’t understand and some of my family didn’t even understand how hard it was for me. I really had to put my focus on something else and when I had my kids they made everything worth it for me and help me every day to fight through it all. I know it is very hard for you but there is some happiness somewhere out there.

Hey I’m also 18 and a freshman in college and I know how you feel :( I have POTs, EDS, severe headaches, asthma, chronic fatigue, etc. and it’s hard to watch my friends all hang out and have fun while I can’t do much. Please remember that you are so so important and even though it sucks not being able to do all the things that friends do, you are still worth it. I’d love to talk more if you want ! ❤️❤️

Hey I’m Bella, if you ever need someone to talk to I’m here for you, just message me. I have a lot of the same problems and I’m always looking for someone to talk to about it

Your story sounds so similar to mine! I was around 18 when I was diagnosed with POTS + EDS, and it is a difficult age to adjust to these chronic illnesses! Let me know if you want to talk! :)

Dude, I totally feel you on this one ❤️❤️ I have celiac, POTS, EDS, and MCAS & I am only 23– I live a completely different (and honestly much harder) life than all of my friends. I hate not drinking or going dancing or having a full time job... but therapy helps me. Meditation helps me. My wonderful supportive boyfriend helps me. Watching YouTubers like The Frey Life helps me. My faith helps me. We just have to try to live the best life we can with the cards we were dealt 💕

I started getting all of my diagnosis and finding all my problems when I was 15 about 6 months after my older sister passed from something called AAG (a really complicated thing to explain)
