I think your grandfather was a time traveler who saw your pain and decided to go back in time to try and help you

[PhilippaWood]

When you said that people who have mental health issues are champions in your eyes it generally brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

[lyalllunicec-]

Thank you Jessica for acknowledging and pointing out that doctors don' t take teenage girls seriously when dealing with eating-related problems!

Wait a second her grandfather’s clinic, that was named after him got her disability wrong? That's ironic.

When I was a kid my cardiologist told me that my aorta was probably bigger than everyone else’s in my class. I was really proud of this as a kid. I feel like this is the best way to tell a kid they have an aneurysm.

💫 One thing right with me.... I watered my indoor plants today, and fed my cats. I accomplished keeping others alive.

I’m a real heathen and just grab the loo roll with my whole hand

My mother suffered from multiple autoimmune disorders, including Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. She also had mental health issues, including PTSD from a severely traumatic event in her childhood (she was a witness, along with her mother and siblings, to her father's suicide by shotgun). And yet she taught me how to love, she taught me how to laugh, she taught me how to forgive. She, somehow, taught me peace of mind. She passed away nearly 4 years ago. What's right with me? I was raised by a mother who was, is, and always shall be my hero.

somethings right with me:
-my eyes are pretty
-i'm compassionate
-i'm still alive and kicking and ain't no bitches gonna bring me down

[kieranshorten]

Jessica: those of you who deal with mental health issues are absolute champions in my eyes

Me: *sobbing*

I was diagnosed with hEDS at 16 (7 years after the onset of pain). Mine came with the trifecta as it'a called (POTS, MCAS, EDS) as well as mild gastroparesis, hearing loss in one ear, intense migraines, scoliosis and my heart valves thickening because why not. According to three primary doctors I saw as a teen, this was all growing pains and anxiety. Well ha. Jokes on them. My body is actively trying to kill me.

My autism helps me remember stuff I read years ago in great detail.

[JulesBiscuits]

My ENT did an MRI of my ear bones and found they aren't where they are meant to be and he says this is likely do to having Ehlers Danlos and why I'm deaf. That might be what people are talking about when they talk about the connection between EDS and hearing loss. One thing that's good about me is my smile 🌟

[Djttj]

Fun fact: People with hypermobility/hEDS/EDS are 3 times as likely to get a migrane and get twice as many headaches than most 'normal' people. It's not like we suffer enough though

[narwhalmeat]

⭐ My autism makes me more conscious about helping others be comfortable since I'm hyper aware of every little thing going on.

[GoC]

One thing right with me: I have synesthesia, which allowed me to write a novel about a entirely unique superhero!

[amperket]

⭐️ One thing that is right with me: My ADHD means I get far more excited about things. When I dive into something I really enjoy, the physical feeling of excitement about learning and expanding my horizons is really amazing.

[TheAraberpinto]

my PTSD mixed with ADHD gives me the right amount of brakes to stop me from being too excited and hurt myself but my ADHD gives me the power
to continue functioning. Somehow a better combo than I thought

[YKsnowglobe]

One thing right with me: One of my recent medical tests said that my gallbladder is unremarkable...so there's that.

[crocus]

🌟One thing right about me: Because of my ADHD, I can hyperfixate on a specific subject and retain just about everything about it! Want to know about Dallon Weekes, Furbies, or Conlangs? I'm your guy!
