Chronic illness is a stressor in itself but it's the accompanying isolation, poverty end of hopes and dreams.

After HIV diagnosis 19 years ago it felt like the Earth opened up beneath me. The good, effective meds had only been out a few years so I thought I was going to die a slow painful and shameful death. I threatened to kill myself to avoid that, though I really wanted to live more than ever! After being diagnosed with cancer, I took it very well. I think because of already having a serious diagnosis in the past and things turned out fine. Now I'm undetectable with a strong cd4 count and cancer is in remission! Keeping a positive attitude and having support, meeting others with the same ailment is key. 🙂

Erica, Not as a cure but to feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath and mind [brain] are closely related causing stress-anxiety. For a better life sit on a chair, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. Change happens from within by itself. Day or night, when taking a walk, sitting in a park, when reading, at office, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Reduce negative social media. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes. Senior Counsellor.

When I was diagnosed with an incurable and largely untreatable illness, I immediately tried to find a therapist to help me cope with the life-altering change. I couldn’t find anyone with that specialty anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. A therapist helped me as best she could focusing on healing the PTSD, depression, and anxiety that were contributing to my health issues. Every so often, I check to see if there is anyone in such a therapeutic practice, but there isn’t anyone. And this is 20+ years later with additional chronic illness diagnoses. I wish this were a recognized field of therapeutic practice, and that more therapists accepted Medicare as payment. With the current situation, at least where I live, there is no specialist who can or will help me in this sorely needed field of practice.

This really hit home with me. 22 years ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Over a 6 month period I became more and more exhausted, yet my lab tests were normal. I had eye issues, frozen shoulder, horrible rashes and more. I was a nurse and the opinion among the medical staff was that it wasn't real, that "those patients" were "crazy". So when I received that news I denied it. I decided I didn't have such a thing and I got in my car to drive to town. Half way there I had to turn back. I was too exhausted to go any further. I got home and cried for hours. Eventually I found a specialist who has been a tremendous help. My family took a very long time to believe I wasn't "just" depressed". In spite of the drop dead exhaustion I could not sleep. I think, as one who wasn't depressed prior to this that chronic illnesses do lend themselves to depression= not constantly but off and on.

[@jenniferliggett6385]

In addition to dealing with a diagnosis, people then have to deal with all the "well-meaning," ignorant individuals who tell you, "If only you would spend more time at the gym...or if you took this supplement you would be ok...or you just need to meditate." This, while they go about their lives, taken care of by spouses, with the resources to care for their health, and without the situation in their own lives that you are dealing with. You really learn who your true friends are when you face a medical crisis, and that, in and of itself, can be devastating.

Thankful to now know what I am dealing with so I can properly deal with it as best as I can.

[@carlyar5281]

Hugs! The gaslighting and denial of appropriate medical care when my health declined is what triggered my full blown PTSD. I had sub clinical PTSD before that. Because of the prior PTSD symptoms I was repeatedly told that I was perfectly fine, and that everything was in my head. I was finally diagnosed with a genetic disorder but I am fully disabled now, and it didn’t have to be this way. I have significant distrust of the medical system, but I need weekly physiotherapy and my life revolves around medical appointments. All of this causes me a great deal of stress because I experience anxiety every time I interact with a healthcare provider. I also feel helpless and powerless.

When I first read your comment it really helped to put things into perspective. I'm sorry you've had such a tough time. I hope things are feeling a bit better and your situation improves very soon. Did you have your whole thyroid removed? Are you still feeling well on levothyroxine? My cancer was diagnosed after I had half removed as it contained a large tumour and biopsies didn't help to determine what it was. I was due to have the rest of the thyroid out in January but I got cold feet and have postponed surgery as I'd like to get a second opinion on the pathology. I think I'll still have to have the rest of the thyroid taken out and then a dose of radioactive iodine. Prognosis is generally good with thyroid cancer and I'm just trying to focus on that and take one day at a time. I know that so many people have it worse than me and I'm grateful for what I have. I've been having to take levothyroxine since a month after my first surgery as my remaining half wasn't making enough thyroxine to compensate. I've felt ok on it so far which hopefully bodes well for the future. Thanks so much again for your reply, it means a lot. I hope everything works out for you, stay strong and hang in there.

My dad has 2 cancers and I and my family have been dealing with it for years now, it has caused so much stress and pain for my poor dad, mom, myself, and 3 brothers. At one point my mom and myself we were taking care of him and it was very painful for everybody at a lot of moments I wished he would just die ( I know I'm very selfish) He was and is still so hard to take care of, he acts like he's fine and nothing is going on and one day we were talking which always leads to an argument he said he doesn't need us, meaning me and my 3 brothers (I was so hurt when he said that because I felt like I wasted my 20, I'm 28 now. Taking care of him and worrying about him and taking him to his many and never-ending appointments even my 3 brothers don't understand that because they were NOT there. My mom does she was there and suffered too. Another thing I noticed in myself I can't look at my dad, the sight of him makes me angry, and sad ) whereas I could've been focusing on my career and life and finding someone to love me which I need desperately, and have kids with) after that I was done with him I kind of stopped taking him and taking him to his appointments and talking to him only 'hi' 'bye" and 'how you doing' I would completely stop talking to him but I live with him unfortunately so I can't. I felt and still feel so selfish for doing that but I had to break free I was and am still sad about everything. I wish I could find a group of adults who have/ had parents with cancer that they helped take care of that I could talk to and share my own experience as I still feel lonely and alone. I guess I just never made an effort to find

This discussion strikes me as unrealistic for people without the means to access therapy. All of these ideas can work for those with adequate health insurance, sufficient financial resources, and a support network. In other words, it’s an idealized scenario that will be impossible for many. I find myself feeling angry for myself and others like me that no such help has been available to me or my family. It’s my experience that there’s often much more offered to those with cancer or in hospice than to people with other life-altering illnesses, but it’s far from consistent even in those circumstances. And I feel empathy for the people who lack access to healthcare, have no support systems, or have no way to afford treatments. This is why the discussion feels unrealistic to me, idealized. There are, in my experience, far more people who can’t get the idealized care laid out here.

I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and doctors don’t seem to think is a big deal. However your whole quality of life changes. The way you sleep, sit, eat.

Unfortunately having this hernia fixed comes with a lot of risks. I’m so depressed right now because I always suffered from health anxiety, now the fear is crippling.

I just would like to add that in some cases a person can have a major diagnosis and nobody, but nobody shows any care. The person can go for treatment alone, pay someone to pick thump from surgeries, people being annoyed that the surgery was scheduled at an inconvenient time, mother being busy with a closet, brothers could not care less, one claiming that is not really cancer. People with cancer don't act like that. She just made up the cancer to kill her mother and get the inheritance. It is worse to find out that nobody cares about your life. Nobody, specially when you walk into surgery room and find out nobody is waiting for you to come back. People who knew you and pretended they cared about you for decades.

If your hurting consider it might be your psychological self needing to be heard, validated and healed. Unidentified Toxic relationships lead to toxic bodies…. I could add the warnings like those by drug companies which often seem to end really badly. Relationships with Narcissistic personality disordered people should come with same warnings.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) is very difficult because you are constantly so exhausted you feel like you are in end stage cancer and no one believes you.

She eventually got cancer too and died from it. She said everyone talks about cancer as a big opera but it’s nothing like dealing with ME for years.

I was so glad to even get a diagnosis after having been born with fibromyalgia and being told all my life there was nothing wrong with me...and with CPTSD from extreme child abuse...it left me coping with all this horrific stress by just eating carbs. My anger helped me survive. My dark humor helped me cope. My skepticism was honed to a sharp edge. Yet my still trusting human nature and my desire to have a social life allowed me to function fairly well in spite of all these things. Laughter helps. Determination helps. Education helps. More money would help more-LOL. But my stubborness about independence and lack of ability to be subservient now keep my career slower than it should be. Love life? What’s that?! LOL. Nah-I stayed single. had love and lovers and had a kid when I wanted but today at 60 don’t give a shit about the opposite sex now. Staying single feels like winning! Seeing almost all my friends marriages fall apart or be a full on horror show-I am glad I always walked away from that.

Thank you so much! All of your talks do help me so very much! Will not get into the why, but I truly need these talks and it helps me deal with others and even with myself! But especially with a granddaughter and some others in our life that do have some mental issues and I just need to listen more and not talk so much. They do have a therapist but it is not helping as it looks to me anyway! But they are up and down. Then it is "leave me alone" But they are on their own and 22 yrs old. So I must respect those moments too. I do not bother people normally but when I think they are having trouble it leaves me worrying. They have had other illness problems and they try to handle all things alone, We all were a close family so it is hard and I grew up being made to think it was up to me to solve everyone's problems! That is why it seems natural now. But am trying to change it now. The questions were wonderful. The family partially moved maybe 4 hours and then some 2 hrs , as they found better jobs. So only can talk to them on facebook. I am not on it much, but I am there is they want me. I just had a grandson and his fiance who wants to come here in April while they are on vacation! They want to do some cooking so we do not need to do it all! Thank you both!

It seems like people talk about depression quite often but hardly ever talk about bipolar disorder. I have this and it's a whole different ballgame. I have found things that work for me. For years I was looked at as a behavior problem with depression. This made things worse. I grew up in the time when they didn't know very much about it. Worse yet there was little to no proper medication for it. I was treated with meds for depression but it never worked. I was in my early to mid thirties before I got on good medication but I was still given only an antidepressant. I am now 67 and just a year ago I was put on lithium. I wish I had known about this a long time ago about this. What am amazing difference. I am much more calmed down and move slower. For years I suffered a lot of abuse and came through all that intact but I did most of that without good meds. I figured I had two options. One was sink. One was swim and to me sinking wasn't an option because I was afraid if I didn't make it I'd be sent back to the state hospital where I was abused. No thank you. The only thing to do was swim and so I did.

I'm a little over a month into something that is looking more and more like chronic illness that won't be helped by doctors. I'm learning how to cope with the symptoms and somehow exist well enough to continue working. I've had to cut out all outside activities beyond working and food shopping. More testing reveals nothing, so I know that I need to learn how to exist with all of this.

[@electroracc5225]

I'm having a different problem. It's really making my life hell. I've got no issue getting mental health care. I've got C-PTSD from early childhood abuse. I was also a sickly and accident-prone kid. I've spent time in both kinds of hospital. My narcissist mother wanted the family to look good on paper, and between my early expressions of gender dysphoria, the PTSD symptoms I had from time "playing" with my teenage brother (something she certainly didn't want anybody to know,) and my tendency toward frequent injuries and what we now know to be early warning signs of symptomatic hypermobility disorders in children and frequent physical pain, she didn't want to take me to the doctor unless it was for a surgery or an illness. I later realized it was because she thought an injury might look like her fault. Mom taught me the word "hypochondriac" when I broke my arm at 5. She roughly checked my range of motion, then said I was fine and to get over it. I continued to cry all night, and when she took me to the doctor the next day, I'll never forget she told me she was doing it to "prove me wrong." Now I have to fight flashbacks to that event and many bad sprains and several fractures she ignored, to how I could only wear a brace on an injury while I was at school, and how I don't ever remember not being in pain, but because I had to downplay it at home, I intellectualized my injuries and became hyperfixated with a lot of medical issues. I also remember many of the best times growing up were after a surgery or anything else where I got her to take me to the doctor and something actually was wrong, or I passed her strict rules on what constituted "sick enough to skip school and not do chores all day." So today, I've got a great trauma therapist who helps me tremendously, but after I got COVID, my health issues skyrocketed. I was simultaneously in a relationship with another narcissistic abuser, and the combination led to the loss of my employment, many of my supports, and eventually led me to trading petsitting and food stamps for the spare room of a friend who has similar health problems and wants to help me get to my diagnosis. Because I've had a history of mental health issues, and because my mother so often told me I was crazy and weak, not sick and injured, I've had the most difficult time making progress with my health. A pattern continues to occur where I'll work up the courage to see a medical provider, they'll check the most basic causes for my symptoms (fibromyalgia, a form of autoimmunity which triggers joints, and EDS are the big 3 that keep coming up in my own research, but only the first has been confirmed by a doctor,) then they'll discover I've got a mental health history and they'll tell me I'm just depressed and anxious and need to talk to a therapist. Then I'll have a panic attack because I'll think about my childhood, if I don't make it out of the office first they'll just see it as confirmation, and then I'll be too scared to see a doctor again for awhile. I'm making headway on the parts I can control. The panic and helplessness are getting better the longer I'm away from my now-ex. But doctors still often write off my issues as entirely psychiatric, and I have a degree in clinical psychology and never learned about any mental illness which leads joints to slip out of place. I worry this might literally be killing me, because I don't know what's wrong or how to get better, and my therapist can't keep up with my anxiety about my health while also helping me process an abusive relationship.

[@carlyar5281]

I've heard a lot about magic mushrooms, DMT, LSD but can't find a place to get them, I've got terrible depression and anxiety

[@stephaniemorgan6284]

I'm so interested in the experience but am terrified of having a bad trip

[@evelynbecker4916]

I did two grams last time, it was a thrilling experience and I enjoyed it

[@joachimlunares4871]

Sure shroom trip is nice, but having a mycologist to recommend the dosage is the best

[@stephaniemorgan6284]

This whole thing is pretty new to me, can I try 3grams?

Hey Dr. Ramini am the biggest fan, thank you for all the content, I am so new to this, has been so enlightening

[@keariewashburn4680]

Thank you. Right now I'm dealing with MS. I already have lymphocitosis and chronic pain for a long time. It's really a problem now. The depression is awful and anxiety ect. Thank you for this. I've got to do a spinal tap in the morning and with everything I'm experiencing I'm just scared and I have PTSD. I get overwhelmed and it's awful cause I had to stop practicing nursing years ago due to trauma. Now, I used to be the cargiver/ remain calm and ready for people, family. Now, I cant find that for me to cope well. I know I've got to find counseling/ therapy. My old traumas are triggered too. I find myself very confused and all kind of ways. I'm tired. Emotionally physically mentally. I do feel better when I stay well in my faith everyday in Gods word. It soothes my soul. So. I'm a wreck right now at this moment. I like Dr Ramani very much. I'm going to go to bed and rest so I can do this thing tomorrow. I hope this weekend, I will actually set up the easel and paint. One day at a time. Love to everyone here and comfort for all that is being so much to go through. Ups and downs. I pray that we do get to the other side of our storms in life and do what we need to do with Gods help. ❤

Kearie Washburn, To feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath and mind [brain] are closely related causing stress-anxiety. For a better life sit on a chair, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. Change happens from within by itself. Day or night, when taking a walk, sitting in a park, when reading, at office, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Reduce negative social media. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes. Senior Counsellor.

Heart disease was not addressed. I have had 5 heart attacks in 5 years, four of them during the same two months over several years. All I think about is when the next one will happen. I am not over weight and eat healthy. Studies show a correlation between heart disease and mental health.

I have scleroderma and my family devalued my serious diagnosis. My sisters and brother are in denial about it. I hope there will be talks how family is not empathetic or sympathetic about me.

[@Proverbs3.3]

God bless you hun Jesus heals come to him, may this message be your hope that he has sent me to you to tell you this message, come to church this Sunday. God bless you. Your so fortunate 🤍

[@brendamagallanes5959]

I know this is hard as family members fail to educate themselves about my condition and don't want to listen to me tell it. I know that one day the seriousness of my situation will someday be unavoidable but in the meantime, I feel isolated. I'm sorry you are experiencing thus. I understand that it's a very difficult and painful situation for you. You aren't alone.

[@lucywong7968]

Thank you Brenda
