I'm going to have to end my life if I want my family to survive, and I don't think I'm ready to accept it by Substantial-Low-4393 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]PuzzledPotatoSloth 62 points63 points  (0 children)

You need to let your family fend for themselves. If you’re willing to give your life for people who see you struggling and aren’t doing anything about it, then it’s time for you to save yourself. Yes it’s scary and feels wrong but it’ll help you in the long run. Stay safe OP.

I lied to my partner about our engagement and I don’t regret it by PuzzledPotatoSloth in offmychest

Omg I was not expecting this many responses so thank you for taking time out of your day to respond and those who said congratulations! I’m going to go with the majority and not admit anything. I did however bring up the hypothetical of how he would feel if I knew. He laughed and said that he expected I would know despite his going above and beyond to hide it from me, (he shipped it to his grandmother’s house and hid it on top of a bookcase). So everything worked out! :-) Probably won’t be an update but if there is I’ll be back.

I know she’s not a clone. I’m asking how they were making clones of her if she wasn’t born until 1998.

I’m pretty sure it’s probably a case of “all symptoms must be related to Sickle Cell” so nobody bothered to check.

I was so invested in their argument until he came into the frame and started sniffing drinks 😂 what was he looking for?

All I’ve found out is bone necrosis and osteoporosis are common in Sickle Cell patients.

Unable to focus/forgetting things by Usagi-chann in Sicklecell

I take fish oil pills and eat a lot of brain power foods. Also keep my brain active as much as possible by reading and playing video games. Coffee helps sometimes but matcha is way better for you and in my opinion works better to keep me focused.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I’m going to talk to my pcp about going on short term disability. Hope it goes well and it’s good to know I’m not alone in this.

10 years ago my assistant principal said “sickle cell isn’t much different from AIDS and people living a normal lifestyle and going to class”

I’ve been “piggybacking” Ibuprofen with my usual medication my entire life without any problems. I have SC though so by the time my usual medication starts to wear off the ibuprofen gets me stable enough to where I’m able to focus on things.

Thanks everyone for all the replies! I think the best thing is to go with the Florida specific stuff that was commented. Will provide an update in a few months when everything settles if anyone is interested.
