I’m like this and recently found out I have OCD, I’ve also personally had the worst things and best things in my life happen side by side twice now so I understand what she’s saying entirely.

It's also a "I have an incurable disease" thing. I have the same autoimmune disease she does (lupus; along with a few other ailments, because they do tend to accumulate) and it's crazy what it can do to your outlook on life. I remember being obsessed with the life expectancy percentages when I got diagnosed. When I reached five years, it felt like a miracle lol.

Not being able to depend on your body has such an impact on your mindset and mental wellbeing. Mine don’t really impact life expectancy but still I’ll have a few great days and then suddenly everything is flaring up and I’m doing bad again.

Same here. I never thought I’d make it to 30. I’m now 36. It’s wild when your body is shitting out on you from a young age. So traumatic too.

I can relate. I have Sjogrens and this is how I feel

Mine started this year and it’s flipped my whole life upside down :( it’s still mild luckily and sometimes I forget just how much I’ve been through and feel guilty for being so stuck; then I notice my nerves burning as I’m sitting at my desk and remember I’m in a bad dream I never woke up from.
