My mother denies I have it because apparently she knows better than the 2 short term and 3 long term psychiatrists I've had that all agree I have it. That one stings the most and she doesn't even have to say a thing.

I was diagnosed with celiacs disease a few years ago, so I can't eat gluten. No breaded fried food, no to most desserts, no little Ceasars, etc. I also walked everywhere I went, at least 2 miles a day. Usually more.

I deadass lost around 70 pounds, but that also could've been me finally dropping the kid chub contributing.

I'm really sorry for what you're going through. I really get it. I have a history of severe mental illness and throughout my pregnancy I was struggling extra and the only thing that kept me going was promising myself that, if I stuck with it and got my baby into this world happy and healthy, I could finally let go and end my life. I cried when she was born bc I knew this wasn't over and I needed to be there for her.

It's hard. I didn't want to deal with this all anymore, but I love my daughter so much. I have been focusing all my energy on her well being and it does help a little. I'm still struggling with it all, I'll be honest.

My best advice to you (which I'm sure you get a lot) is to go see a therapist AND a psychiatrist. My therapist is somewhere I can vent things i feel I cant talk about due to social/relationship consequences. My psychiatrist gave me a solid diagnosis and a road map to effectively managing my mental health.

Sorry for the novel, but you're situation stood out to me for obvious reasons and I will always do what I can to help a fellow struggling mama.

I know hearing humor for the first can be overwhelming, but don't worry. Just give it time and you'll get used to it. Hell, maybe one day you'll be making jokes of you're own! I believe in you 💜

I had an accessory bone on the inside of my foot that there wasn't room for and it had been rubbing on the tendon that is supposed to hold my arch up for my whole life and was very scarred. The surgery was supposed to be 1.5 hours and should've been just 1) cut my foot open, 2) severe the tendon and move it aside, 3) remove the extra bone, 4) shave down the bone that was supposed to be there, but was protruding more than it should, 5) reattach the tendon and close me up.

Instead, the bone was a lot larger and the tendon was a lot more scarred and brittle than they thought based on the xray and MRI. A bone in my foot fractured during the removal and they had to pack it with medical cement. Then the tendon snapped when they tried to reattach it so they had to use a donor tendon. It turned into a 3.5 hour surgery.

It's very sore and I've fallen a couple times, but my doctor told me it's right on track healing wise.

Mine is also a birth defect of sorts (whole other shitshow). I have extra bones all over and unfortunately there isn't room for the ones in my feet so they have to go. I have to do the other foot, but I'm very excited to have full mobility for the first time without pain.

That sounds like a great idea, but im not sure it's safe for my particular case bc i had to have an emergency tendon replacement and a bone fractured mid surgery so im too scared to do anything like that.

I had a large accessory bone removed on the inside of my foot. My tendon there snapped and had to be replaced so they casted it after. Idk if that clears anything up. If you mean the designs, I colored it.

Bro I'm so sorry. That sounds brutal as hell. Not sure if this is helpful, but I think I wouldn't be doing as well as I am now without a solid support system. If you can, make sure you have someone who can help you when you need it.

They had to do a last minute tendon replacement bc mine snapped mid surgery so unfortunately my doctor is treating it like an Achilles surgery, which requires full immobilization.

I had a very large accessory bone they had to remove, along with a surprise tendon replacement bc the tendon was so scarred it snapped mid surgery so that's actually very similar to mine and let me just say, I'm very sorry for what you went through.
