@gabrielleistired: Yes I have always “seemed” okay. I am a natural performer at heart. I have always gone far out of my way to make people comfortable and not worried about me. I don’t like adding stress to peoples lives. Although I did notice that anytime I let my guard down and told someone how I really felt physically & mentally people didn’t believe me anyway. I had undiagnosed Multiple Sclerosis & Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos. Friends and family were accepting of my mental illness — my diagnosed OCD, depression and CPTSD. Debilitating anxiety. Even then no one knew how bad it was. The suicidal ideation. Living in constant physical pain and no one there to help. Doctors didn’t know what to do with me. I’m so thankful for finally getting some answers, but the struggle forever changed me. I have been at this since I was 11 years old. The aloneness in my health battle has really hurt. If this is a familiar story to you, I stand with you. ❤️🩹⚔️ #multiplesclerosis #multiplesclerosisawareness #medicaltrauma #medicaltiktok #CPTSD #trauma #chronicpain #chronicillness #invisibleillness #medicalmystery #invisibledisability #hypermobileehlersdanlossyndrome #hypermobilejoints #ehlersdanlos #POTS #spoonielife #spooniesoftiktok #suicideprevention #mslife #painmanagement #multiplesclerosiswarrior #chronicillnesswarrior #healthjourney #disability #invisibledisabilityawareness #msstrong #zebracrossing
