11 months ago I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder and with Fibromyalgia earlier this year.I have also dealt with cPTSD and an eating disorder for the last 20 years.

I have been mostly bed bound for 12 months and have spent 6 months of this year in hospital. I cannot currently walk more than 20 metres without needing a wheelchair to mobilise. I have been unable to drive for the last 12 months due to continued non-epileptic seizures.

I am needing continued help to manage all of my medical bills, specialist appointments, medication, transport etc.

I am attaching a PayPal link if you feel at all inclined to donate to help me manage week to week as the pension I’m on doesn’t even cover basic expenses for each fortnight after rent and each of my medical team appointments.

I would be so grateful for any donations, reblog etc. Thank you in advance x

"God is testing you. The lord sends difficulties to the strongest, to strengthen their faith and resolve."

No. Fuck that shit. And fuck you to the nineth layer of hell. God had jack squat to do with any of this. The lord isn't playing me for his own amusement. If anything, they and the holy spirit could see and hear my suffering, and they wanted me to do something about it when I was at my wit's end.

Public service announcement… because as someone who has used mobility aids to help with my POTS and fibromyalgia.

Do not and I mean DO NOT… pray for me…

What seems harmless and may seem like people expressing their care and concern… is actually a form of proselytization.

To proselytize is the act of attempting to convert someone into a religion or different opinion.

While yes, I grew up southern baptist. (Have forever been really questioning though.) It is NEVER okay to try to convince or pray for somebody whom you do not know their belief system.

Especially if it’s someone like me who is disabled and you “pray” for me to be cured 😡

Small story time:

Over the holidays, my chronic illness was acting up but I still wanted to spend time with my family to see the Lights in OC. So for long distances, depending on how much pain I’m in that day. I either use my cane, wheelchair, or braces to help get me by.

Well, not long after getting to OC and stopping for food. Two “Christians” began to try to “help” me and to “pray” my disability away 😑

1. Not very Christian-like to pray for an illness that I will have for the rest of my life to be gone like God can fix that. This gives off the same energy as people who have told me in the past “there are no wheelchairs in heaven”. Not only is this extremely fucked up to tell me. But it leads me to further believe that God doesn’t love those with disabilities and that’s simply not or shouldn’t be the fucking case.

2. Also if I’m struggling, I WILL ASK FOR HELP. I do NOT need anyone’s help unless I SPECIFICALLY ASK. My mobility aid is an EXTENSION of ME. It’s like touching my arm when I hardly know you. DO NOT TOUCH ME OR MY MOBILITY AIDS WITHOUT MY SAY SO. And ESPECIALLY DONT CORNER ME. This does way more harm than good.

Another story time (UNRELATED TO RELIGION):

I went to ANOTHER set of lights in Rehobeth where this time I was in my wheelchair with my best friend��s family. Some guy had the audacity to tell his wife that I didn’t belong there… Wanna know why? Because he said “what was the point in her being here if she can’t do anything” 🤬

Ambulatory wheelchair users EXIST!

JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT OR REFUSE TO SEE US DOESNT MEAN WE DONT EXIST!

Also heaven should ALSO be disability accessible. And if you fucking think, that “yeah, when everyone goes to heaven they are their perfect selves!” “There are no wheelchairs, disabilities in heaven”

Actually sit on a cactus… Rethink and reprocess that line of thinking because I PROMISE YOU there is a deeper line of thinking than just that… The Bible has constantly been retranslated over and over again and if you honestly don’t think that ableist ideas haven’t been written into it, I don’t know what to tell you. it’s one of the MANY reasons why I don’t go to any church anymore or follow ANY group’s train of thought is because of the ABLEIST nonsense I have heard in the past from churches and fucking pastors AND HAVE HEARD RECENTLY AT A FUNERAL OF ALL PLACES!

AND OF YOU WANNA KNOW SOMETHING THATS NOT FUCKING SHOCKING TO ME AT ALL TO PROVE MY FUCKIMG POINT.

Churches are not obligated to follow the rules of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ☺️

What a fucking shocker.

If you were truly Christian you would fucking DO BETTER.

Wasn't a virus ~ 4-3-2024

Okay, so... I got a ~flare~

I didn't know this shit could flare. I figured the nerve pain had stagnated, apparently not. Honestly it's kindof scary, I'm trying to cope with the fear while waiting for the neurologist. I'm having a hard time. I cry almost every night. I'm really tired of dealing with this, I just want to be well. I'm okay-ish. I'm doing things I enjoy, spending time with my loved ones, etc. But at night it still hurts and that's really difficult. I'm very impatient to see the neurologist because I just want them to tell me I'm okay.

Four weeks ago when this started I had about a week of intense nerve pain and vomiting + other unsavory GI issues. Lack of appetite, malaise, brain fog, twitching, etc. It stagnated at a manageable mild-moderate discomfort via twitching and tingling. Then three days ago it ramped up again and last night I had an intense attack that echoed the first flare.

There was certainly some improvement from the first time though. The first time the burning sensation was nearly constant for 2-3 days with multiple bouts of vomiting. Last night after the peak of the flare it was manageable and I was able to get to sleep at the reasonable time. For reference, the first flare I was up until 6am.

I'm feeling worn out and poorly today with some unpleasant sensations in my face but otherwise it's still more manageable than the first flare. Hopefully this means the severity will keep decreasing until it goes away? It sounds weird but I'm a bit hopeful since this time is much easier than the first.

Me and my PCP suspect I have gadolinium deposition disease. The issues began within a week I received an MRI with contrast and my symptoms match it near perfectly. It's not an "official" disease, whatever that means, but if the shoe fits! I'm fighting to get a 24hr urine test so we can know for sure. I think it's kind of ridiculous that it's so difficult to get a test for a substance 15 million Americans receive every year.

My last therapy session is next Tuesday too, so I'll need to start looking for a long-term counselor soon. Another doctor to search for lol. Honestly the appointments make me feel better, like I have a witness and it gives me something to do. A goal. I miss having goals that weren't centered around my health.

I really appreciated my last therapy session, she helped me do mental exercises working through the death of my dog. She also helped me find some coping mechanisms to deal with the fear of having an undiagnosed illness. Her recommendation was to write down my symptoms, especially when they're making me feel isolated.

I'm feeling a lot of guilt about the stress this is putting on my parents. I was crying last night being held by my mom and said, "I'm so sorry, I never wanted to put you through this again."

She replied, "You're not putting me through anything. We're going through this together."

That made me feel a lot better. You can never completely silence the negative thoughts but that certainly lowered the volume. I love my mom.

I started a catechumen course in order to convert to Orthodox Christianity

And I'm already having problems after one meeting. I think it comes from having controlling parents. It feels very difficult to surrender control to someone else (priest) by going to confession, or following a fast. I also have some health issues that could be triggered by fasting, so I'm not sure if that would even work out. And what I would do if they would require me to fast? I can see myself just noping out of there at that point hah 😬

I'm wondering if I should just quit the conversion now 😞 I hate my body BC it can't handle what I would like to to handle. And I hate my past, bc it's just a gift that keeps on giving 🤗

I just got told by my extremely christian cousin I'm staying with for 2 weeks that I cannot say im disabled because then im 'speaking into existence' and that I can't let doctors convince me im disabled. They're also into the whole, don't complain cause someone has it worse.

Don't don't do this, please, it made me feel awful and like im not actually disabled and just doing it for attention, like no the only attention I want is medical attention but she was very upset about the fact I said I was disabled

Btw (by the way) the convo started because my little cousin said that the door plate to open bathroom doors is for disabled people and I told her no its also just to not touch the handle and she said something about disabled people not being able to walk and I was telling her that no, a lot of disabled people can walk even though they need help or be in pain or have other issues and I told her that I'm disabled because I walk with pain and can't walk for long without taking breaks and that's when her older sister told me to not say that because im not and I'm not

I also can't joke about falling down the stairs of my leg gives out or like anything related because 'words have power to god'

For the sake of being real, I want to reiterate that a smile doesn’t always mean “happy.” The only reason I even put on makeup today is because I feel absolutely hideous without it. Trying our best to have a good attitude is important, but it’s normal to struggle. It’s normal to not be okay sometimes, or even a lot of the time. Many days I feel like I’m at the end of my rope. As long as there’s even a strand of rope left to hold onto though, you best believe I’m not letting go. IG: kadiecov ∞

24 August 2022

[Image description: a screenshot from the Duolingo app. The screen has a Hebrew translation of the phrase, "I do not need him." End ID]

📚 Currently reading: The World’s First Love by Fulton J. Sheen, Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace

🎵 Currently listening: Hozier, "Almost (Sweet Music)"

Gotta appreciate some affirmation from the green owl, right? 😉

I had an appointment with a new doctor yesterday morning. Going out, of course, meant that I felt justified in putting on an academia look. I won’t think about the fact that I like having doctor’s appointments as an excuse to put on my academia look. 😅 But the nurse practitioner I saw said my dark academia backpack was "legit."

30 Days of Productivity

Day 16: Who is your biggest role model or inspiration?

Right now it’s my grandmother (she is deceased). She had a dedication to helping others her whole life and was always willing to lend a hand with cleaning or childcare. She was also extremely dedicated to taking care of her family and the people around her. I miss her a lot. I know she’d be so proud to see me studying in my theology program.

Today’s Tasks

[X] Duolingo site: Spanish -> Vacation 2 -> Level 3 to Level 5

[X] Finish chapter 2 of Infinite Jest

[X] Finish another chapter of The World’s First Love

[X] Exercise: glutes and legs strength

This post is for my friends who know what the spoons analogy is (and if you don’t, here it is)

There’s a lot of teaching in church about the Christian God that makes a lot more sense if we think of Him as an entity with infinite spoons.

Humans do not have infinite spoons, which is why we a) are more powerful in community, b) have to set boundaries with each other sometimes, and c) are not capable of caring equally about all the bad things happening in the world without getting burnt out

God is capable of paying attention to everything at once and loving everybody equally because They have infinite spoons.

God taking a break after six ‘days’ of creating the world was Their way of leading by example for us mere mortals, I imagine. Like you know how a parent has to demonstrate basic skills for their little one, such as potty training and being respectful to others? That kind of thing. There will be time for nuance once the little one has wrapped their head around the basic concept.

Hi.

My name is Hannah and I am 27 years old.

I have lived with Complex PTSD and Anorexia since I was 6 years old.

Over the years I have also been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, panic disorder, Functional Neurological Disorder, Fibromyalgia, a large bowel that no longer works and Costochondritis. I have had 46 hospital admissions both medical and mental health over the past 8 years to date (date of posting is April 2024)

I require weekly psychology, dietitian,, GP and physiotherapy appts as well as weekly medication costs, and other specialist appointments frequently.

I have been on the disability pension since 2019 but that doesn’t even begin to cover half of what I require and I have thousands of bills outstanding and money required to access the supports that I need to not be in hospital every few weeks.

I so appreciate the current cost of living but would be so grateful any donation large and small so that I can begin to truly live. Believe me when I say I have exhausted every option possible to try and get on track and moving forward.

Thank you for reading x

Day by day ~ 3-29-2024

Since my last blog I saw my optometrist and my eyes have gotten a clean bill of health! Nothing "wrong" with my eyes except some surface dryness.

I still haven't received a call from any neurologist and my bloodwork is delayed because the lab technician is on vacation. I'm pretty antsy for answers, obviously, because this shit has really been difficult. If I can at least find out why, even if it's not "cured", I won't be so scared. It's scary not knowing. I asked my PCP to test my urine for gadolinium because the sensory symptoms onset two days after my MRI in February and I found some reports of people with near-identical symptoms after being administered MRI contrast. PCP seemed skeptical, but I haven't had any other obvious solutions presented to me.

I feel like a conspiracy nut a lot. Is it this? What about that? Should I get this test? I'm desperate for answers. I accessed my own MRI to check for Chiari Malformation (didn't have it). My family is telling me to step away from searching but how can I? I feel awful and I'm expected to wait patiently for months to see doctors that don't help. Who's supposed to be looking for answers when doctors won't?

Doctors act like patients, especially women, are trying to scam them into diagnosis's, like we want to be ill. I don't want this to be happening. ~shocker~ I wish I felt "normal", whatever that means. If I had one wish, I'd wish for health. I'm tired. Tired of waking up everyday to a life of discomfort, to headaches, to feeling restless, to pain, to uncertainty.

I know I sound depressed, I guess I kindof am. I started this year with tinnitus, and I'm heading into April with a laundry list of physical challenges and no answers.

I don't think anyone that hasn't had these symptoms understand the mental toll it takes when your body is never at rest. Always twitching, burning, stinging, buzzing, cramping, aching, ringing--I haven't felt truly relaxed since Christmas 2023. I can't even sit on my phone and scroll mindlessly because my own eyes turn everything into a lightshow.

I'm not normally someone who likes to pity party, but get the balloons because that's how I feel today. I'm sure I'll perk up, do an activity, watch something, and I'll feel a bit better by tonight. But then the high will fade and I'll crawl into bed and begin shaking and hurting all over. I'll wake up and do it again tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. I'll keep going, even if it's miserably.

──────────────────── 〔✿〕 ─────────────────────

"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body." 2 Corinthians 4:8-10

I’m sensitive, a weeper. If you're uncomfortable around emotion, I'm probably not for you ;(

I don't always get the joke. Sometimes I take things the wrong way. Executive Dysfunction can be frustrating. Please don't assume I'm simple. I do have standards. I do have ideologies. Sometimes my ire is more than appropriate when someone is being rude, a bully, or just a dick.

I can act like a mom or a big bro. I may encourage you to hydrate more, or eat more protein and fruit. It's because I care, not because you're not meeting standards.

Sometimes I'm very quiet and have not much at all to say. It's probably not. I'm an introvert and need to recharge. Sometimes just sitting quietly together doing our own thing is as nourishing as chatting about all the things while adventuring about town.

I nap A LOT. I sleep a long time. I can sleep almost anywhere, at any time. I'm a night owl IF I get a second wind, but I can still sleep late every. single. day. I'm more of a mid-day person than either morning or night person ;) See link to know more about the Wolf Chronotype.

I am loyal to a fault.

Friends don’t lie.

Please don’t lose my trust once you gain it.

I am moderately toy-experienced as a Top, but VERY inexperienced as a bottom. Can you teach me gently?

I don't own any formal attire and have a bitch of a time finding business-wear that fits well. My "dressed up" is pretty casual (clean, dark or black jeans, button up shirt, and blazer) and I'm a little embarrassed about it, but I'm trying to find better clothes.

I’m re-learning to do my makeup. I can always use pointers/tips/help.

Let's not be too shy about sharing our views and opinions on sensitive subjects. We may have to agree to disagree on some things. And if anything becomes a dealbreaker, so be it. Let's move on amiably. But please don’t assume that being a Christian who votes "Centrist" and has Independent friends who own guns means I’m a right-wing NRA “Trumper”. You may be surprised what MY views actually are when we get a chance to talk things out. And I'm open to new perspectives. I live with ambivalence. I prefer to make decisions knowing both/all sides to an argument.

Small talk can be awkward. Feel free to ask the deep TMI stuff early on. It's easier to learn about each other now than end up heartbroken too late. I’m really good at oversharing, too. I often can’t tell if you're offended and being stoic, or just feeling neutral about something I've said/shared. Please be patient. Let's always be open and honest with each other.

Around me there is always inappropriate laughter, burps, farts, naughty jokes, cursing. If you’re looking for LT friendship or anything intimate, you’ll eventually meet my friends and family and will need to be cool with cursing and the occasionally rank joke or discussion.

I often laugh out loud in public places, even restaurants, and sometimes I send my food back.

I don’t do well in the heat so prefer shade or indoors but definitely venture out as much as possible during the Summer.

I am trying to become debt-free. Please be willing to help pay for all outings, and easy to feed and entertain ;)

DISCLAIMERS*

NO 420, vaping, cigarette or cigar smoking

NO drugs of any kind, including holistic

NO children

ZERO Tolerance for ACAB and anti-military hate speech

ALL Lives Matter. ALL Peoples deserve Opportunity, Safety, and Justice.

Uberfeminism, Atheistic rants, cries of Fascism, Marxists, Anarchists, or male bashing are NOT OK. This is a safe place for kind people looking to thrive.

My Aussiedog Jemma is my furever furbaby soulmate. I talk about her a lot. I also have dog hair on all my clothes and in my car. If you are allergic to dogs, or just don't like dogs, this is a Dealbreaker.

I am afraid of large bully breed dogs. If you have a mastiff or pibble or a cross of either kind, I will probably be weird around them for a while, OR may never be comfortable around them. Once bitten, twice shy.

I live with my hetero BFF and her elderly mom. I probably won’t be able to have you over for games or meals until they are comfortable knowing you for a little while. I’m sorry if this is a Dealbreaker for you. I really do want to share my space(s) with you.

*Disclaimers aren’t necessarily Dealbreakers if they’re not for you. If we vibe hard on a lot of common interests and ideologies then I’m sure we can be flexible on some of our disclaimers. Thoughts?
