Hi. It's my first time watching. I am also a mom of 4 and was in the valley of shadow of death for 5 year. It was so hard. I see your style of staying afloat is very similar to mine.I am also an achiever and need to feel productive no matter what. I have finally found some relief and actual great days where I don't crash for longer than the a day instead of weeks of being bed/housebound in a dark room since watching daily videos from "Dan pain free you" on youtube. I believe God is healing my overtired nervous system. God bless.

A mental health illness becomes chronic when it lasts more than 3 months and limits daily living activities. Although the term "depression" is often misused, depression is very real and can become a chronic illness requiring medical intervention.

Thank you so much for this. I am a homemaker currently sidelined by spinal issues and am about to have a pretty major surgery for it soon. I miss being able to tidy my house! Hoping it comes back one day. Thanks

Thank you so much for sharing! I’m not sure if you have tried this yet, but with my chronic illness I have lots of inflammation in my body, so I started eating an all meat diet, which is the “carnivore diet “and it has helped decrease so much inflammation in my body, joints, muscles, etc. I will be praying for you and for healing 🙏

Appreciate this, thank you. I'm a stay at home/ homeschooling mom. I have an autoimmune condition that has flared these past few years (stress) and am currently dealing with adrenal dysfunction. Have you dealt with insomnia and/or anxiety during your illness? Or do you now? Wondering if you have any suggestions. Thank you again for being willing to share your struggles with us. It reminds me of the verse that says, (not verbatim) in your struggles/trials you can be a comfort to others who are also experiencing the same as God has been a comfort to you.♥️

Nice to meet you! I'm so sorry you also suffer from health issues. I also have an autoimmune condition, so I can relate to dealing with flares. I have seen some relief from symptoms (including anxiety) by going on a strict AIP diet. It hasn't solved everything, but it has helped. Before going on the diet I had chronic hives, which kept me from being able to sleep hardly at all, but the diet did help with the hives, thankfully.

Thank you! I found this helpful! I have 2 small children and work out of the home 4 days a week as well, I have several chronic illnesses and I struggle quite a lot! Like you I have some days that I am better than others.

Joy, I appreciate this video so much, thank you! 🧡 Like you I love to be productive and check things off my list. I also struggle with my health, thyroid/adrenal issues. I have even dealt with parasites. I see a functional medicine doctor in Springfield. Would you feel comfortable sharing how you got diagnosed and what symptoms led up to the diagnosis? I remember you struggling with your adrenals and taking Plexus some years ago. I do t know if you feel this way, but it’s hard for me to make plans with people because I never know how I will feel on any day. Last minute and spontaneous get togethers are my preference but not everyone can do that. I am trying to be more hospitable and that has actually worked well, for the last minute aspect. I hope you have more good days than challenging ones. 🧡🧡

Thank you, Brooke! I'm so sorry you also struggle with health issues. I did struggle with adrenal issues years ago, and then things got better with my health after I started putting some focused effort into healing. However, several years later, now I'm dealing with a different condition. My main symptom (which started last summer) was chronic urticaria (chronic hives). It was so incredibly miserable, and I couldn't even sleep at night! I also had joint pain, brain fog, extreme fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, and I was cold all the time. I can totally relate to not being able to predict how you'll feel ahead of time. It's so frustrating.

Very real… as I lay on my couch dosing off on your wonderful video. They are so calming and bring such peace. ❤️ For me, I take it day by day and no scheduling times. Only time I set is my cell phone alarm to Wake up take my kids to school and pick them up. Other than that, I follow daily routines/ rituals through out my day including my prayer Life. Chronic illness is a journey, isn’t it? When I was diagnosed in 2018 I was living a very different life and even though I’m still chronically ill, I have let go of perfectionism and more of God….which has been a great blessing. With that came acceptance of my diagnosis and the new me (my diagnosis has changed me so much) like a comment I saw in your other video someone said “smile.” I felt that. I found it to be insensitive. My face has changed... I look stoic, once I was told, I had a “stone face” that I don’t smile. Of course, that remark hurt my feelings. But I’ve let it go. I definitely give myself grace, now. It’s a much easier time of it. For me surrendering it and offering my sufferings and trials to God has been good for me. To grow from it, is progress and blessing even through the trials, if that makes sense. Thankful for you and the time you put into your beautiful videos. Blessing and hope you’re well. Looking forward to your next video. ❤
