[mummy_of2_1990]

Hi everyone im new to this page. Im 24 with two beautiful girls and been with there dad for 7 years now. I wS diagnosed around 2 months after having my 2nd child. After a long conversation with my doctor she suspected I may have had it all my life aftef talking about my past. I am really really struggling to come to terms with this diagnosis physically and mentally, its breaking me down I suffer so much with random variety of symptoms day to day I HATE IT! :'( I feel my partner doesn't really understand it, neither do I sometimes. Im on a wack load of medication which I have difficulties taking. I go through stages where I give up and stop taking them until the withdrawals kick in, it's like a vicious circle and it hurts :'( I feel helpless wreck. I struggle to go to sleep at night and wake up in the day, I have no energy, in constant pain, ffrustration because im physically cant do what I used to be able to do, I find it hard to manage day to day things due to the lack of support knowledge and understanding of how I feel despite how many times we talk about it, however I love him and hes a fantastic dad. I could go on and on but even typing this message is hurting my hand. I guess I just feel that no one understands and I just want to cry!
