Hello everyone,
I have come across this community whilst searching for help with my chronic condition. I was diagnosed with BPD and ASD over a year ago and had been trying hard to come to terms with my mental health, I knew from a young age I didn't feel like others in my age group but it has taken 30 years for me to be diagnosed with the above.. At the beginning of this year I started to get a lot of pain down my arms and legs so I was seeing my GP quite often. They did blood test which came back normal and thats when my GP diagnosed fibromyalgia. Its got a lot worse recently and the pain is constantly everyday. I have 2 children that I'm trying to take care of as well as trying to keep my job (working for 2 days and then I'm in agony for the rest of the whole wk) most days I get so down because I'm so fatigued by doing the smallest of things that I feel I would be better off not here but my children are keeping me alive, I know they need me but I cant help feeling so giulty and worthless when they want to do something and I have to retreat as I know what will happen. I am super sensitive to cold, heat, light, noise, etc... I am hoping that coming here will help me feeling not so alone as I do in a body that fights me every single day.
