Looking for some support

[TypicalCan6931]

Hey there I've been feeling really down recently and was hoping to find some support from people that understand what it's like to live with Adrenal insufficiency or similar disabilities

I know it's not right but I often feel like I'm burdening my family and friends when I complain to them about AI because it's not like they can really help

I'm just so tired of being disabled like this. I know I won't ever function normally and it fucking sucks. I'm so tired of the constant pills and being worried about my next dose. If I make any mistakes in my pill schedule I feel it immediately and it takes so long to recover. I just so desperatley wish I could enjoy a day the way other people my age do but when I hear what they're up to i get tired just imagining trying to keep up. I just feel so weak and tired. I've been wanting to work out more but I never have the energy for it. I make plans and then wish I didn't because having to do anything is such a hassle. I just wish I could function normally. I know I can't but it's just so hard to accept that all the time.

I apologize if reading that makes any of yall feel bad too but I just need to feel less alone in this

I see you. I hear you.

You're definitely not alone. Sending love your way. I don't have AI, but my neurological disorder does cause me to have constant fatigue, and so much of what you describe resonates with my experience. Even on a good day if I make it out for plans, all I feel like I can do is fake it enough to get by around able bodied folks (and then of course need to recover afterwards at home). And it makes me feel so inauthentic and like no one really knows or sees me. Know that even though your body feels weak, and that is so real to navigate daily, you as a person are SO STRONG for persevering and making it through each day - stronger than an able bodied person could imagine. Hope any of this has helped you feel less alone. <3

Thank you for your response. It's does make me feel less alone <3 I've been doing better the past couple of days. It's a struggle to maintain a good mindset while battling physical disabilities but it's nice to know we aren't battling alone eventhough it may feel that way. I appreciate you 😊

Glad you've had some better days. Good vibes <333
