    Dunno what to say anymore. It's really unfair you have to go through this when you've done nothing to deserve any of it. I'd find whatever makes you happy and enjoy it to it's fullest right now. At least you have a great family to support you. Pets are cool too....I guess I never had any. If I had to deal with all that in my current situation I'd have given up on everything long ago.

    I am definitely enjoying what I can! Plenty of pet cuddles, gaming, and anime help. Since it's genetic most of my family has the same condition with various symptoms, so while I'm sad they are also sick and it's really hard watching when they are in critical condition, it does help that we can all understand each others' struggles and support one another.
    I've had pets nearly my whole life, and they really encourage me! I love them dearly.
    There have been times when my depression was so bad that I wanted to give up, but my faith, family and friends, and pets help get me through it. Thankfully it's been awhile since I've felt this way and while it's hard and discouraging I am determined to get through it!

    I'm really sad for you :( I can't imagine what you have been going through, I'm here to talk if you need anything or just want to talk :) OMG what cute Cats <3 I love Cats but i love Dogs too! Never lose hope we are here to support you however we can, Hope you're okay! :) 

    That is so sweet and encouraging, thank you! I'll be sure to take you up on that.
    It makes me happy that you are appreciating the cats' cuteness, I love them dearly and I want everyone to know how precious and perfect they are. lol I love dogs, too! It's actually in the plans to get me a service dog, though I don't know when that will be an option financially. When I do get one I want it to be a standard poodle! 

    Thank you all for the support! I'm having a difficult health day, but I know so many kind people that it's still a happy day!

  2. @Beocat, That is so sad about the whooping cough epidemic! When I was young I wasn't aware of how important vaccinations were, but the past few years I've really seen how important they are and it's sad so many children have been affected by not having them. That's awful that you were sick for so long, too! 
    I should get more chicken broth, I haven't had any recently, but there's actually currently a big pot of it cooking on the stove! Earlier this year I found it's great to add soy sauce, garlic, onion, ginger, fish sauce, and Korean red pepper flakes to chicken broth. It really helped with my bronchitis, and it's delicious! 

    Thank you, I really appreciate it! When she passed away it was such a shock, I don't know the last time my heart hurt that much or I cried that much. It's been really hard for me to watch anything that involves people losing someone they love since then.
    The cats are definitely helping me! They are such darlings, and I love them so much already. Aww, I've heard about Riptide so it makes me happy that they're similar!

    I need to try to take Izuku to the vet next week, he seems to have asthma an keeps having attacks, so I'm hoping we can get him on a control medicine and an inhaler. Both him and Hunk were previously diagnosed with FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus).

  3. Thanks! The PTSD actually surprised me in that case, because it's regarding an incident from when I was six years old, and I thought I fully recovered from it years ago. Just goes to show how events in our lives shape who we are. While I may have had a lot of difficult events throughout my life I'm happy with how they've shaped me. :) 

    Thanks! I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get some help soon. 

    I hope your Monday was great and that the rest of your week goes well, too, @Mars Terra!

  4. @Mars Terra, @Roxeg, you all are so sweet! Thank you for the support, it means a lot. 

    Thankfully I'm not beating myself up over it, that time was just even more emotionally draining than usual, and it triggered some PTSD from my childhood. Lately, while she has had some pretty serious attacks we've been able to calm them down with her emergency meds, so no recent ER trips! 

    Also, regarding my own health, we're trying to get me into a local pulmonologist to help with all my breathing treatments, so I'm praying that will help! I have an asthma specialist, but he's four hours away, so having someone local who could help with this would be great.

    I'm hoping I can catch up on the forum after I can get some sleep today, I've been up all night. I miss being able to chat with everyone. Anyways, I'm off for now, I hope you're all having a good morning! See y'all later.

    P.S My sister, INTJ, finished catching up to the current Boruto episodes! Which means she's going to start season 2 of My Hero Academia with me now! I'm so excited to show it to her.

  5. @Mars Terra, thanks! I love them and it's wonderful to be so close. I know, right?! I feel so bad for her and wish there were more I could do for her. The time I recently walked into her bedroom only to find her stabbing herself in the leg with her epi-pen really shook me. I tried to call an ambulance for her but I couldn't stop shaking and I couldn't remember how to unlock my phone. Thankfully my mom was there and was able to call 911 for me.
    That's good to hear! Oh, cool! Yeah, I live in Central time zone for anyone else interested.
    Ooh, no I haven't seen that thread yet! I'm excited now and will check it out! 

    @SleepyLeoulf, I can understand your struggle with talking about it. I have clinical depression and for the longest time I didn't talk to my family about it, I just felt like I couldn't. 
    I'm happy to hear you've had some improvements and that your doctor helped! Sadly when my sister saw a sleep specialist it was a super flakey one who didn't care about it. I'm hoping she can find a better one. Well wishes to you, too!

  6. Lol, @SleepyLeoulf, I don't think that's too cheesy! My sisters and I call it the same thing. I'm a rather sentimental person so I like to express my love for those around me frequently. 
    Sucks to hear about your nightmares! My sister has them frequently and it's really hard on her, she's not been able to sleep with the light off for about a year and a half. She keeps her room lit with Christmas lights at night and also puts a movie on, which helps her. But it's still not easy. Especially because her medical conditions are so scary, so sometimes she'll have a nightmare about going into anaphylaxis and she wakes up not knowing if she actually is or not, since she does frequently have strong allergic reactions.

    @Rudilla, @Mars Terra , I'm so sorry to hear of y'all's sleeping troubles, too! They really are a pain. It's almost 5am here, but here I am awake. :P At least I got a good two-hour nap in before my lungs got too bad. Asthma is known to get worse at night. Also, I just finished the first episode of How To Raise a Mummy and it was just so kawaii!
    I used to have insomnia, but after following some advice from a sleep specialist that's usually under control, thankfully. 

    @Baku, I'm surprised you haven't heard of it, it gained popularity quickly and has won a ton of awards! It even aired in some theaters in the US and you can find it at Walmart. It makes me happy seeing it do so well, it truly is a masterpiece. Please let me know what you think when you see it!

    Hey there @Vivi Hyuuga glad to see you back on here. I'm sorry you've been sick and hope you feel 100% better soon. Awesome also you've been watching a lot of anime and also spending time with your sisters, that's always is fun to do. See you around the forums and please take care and have a good rest of the week~

     

    Thank you so much! It really is wonderful spending time with my sisters, especially when my lungs are keeping me awake all night and they watch anime with me. It makes it so much easier to get through the long hours. I hope you have a good rest of the week, as well!

    Welcome back around, I plan watching Your Name soon, I've heard lots of great reviews from it.

    Thanks! It's such an amazing movie, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

  8. I hate those nights! For me, they are usually caused by anxiety or health complications. I remember one time I had a sleepless night due to pain (I had a torn tendon) and anxiety about the doctor appointment I had the upcoming morning. I did not sleep at all. What made it worse was that the doctor appointment I was having anxiety about? It was just as bad as I had been worried about. I was miserable so afterwards I just got a doughnut from my favorite local place. Though the pain didn't stop there. I was told to take Aleeve. Which I did, and it ended up causing me to have gallbladder attacks for a week, such terrible pain.

    Sometimes when I'm so sick I'm delirious and feverish in bed unable to move but also unable to sleep, and those times I usually just have a movie on repeat to help get me through it.

    However, the method I have found most helpful is if you can't sleep is to get up for a bit, do something distracting, and then go back to bed. Studies show if you can't sleep but you keep laying in bed that it will actually just keep you awake longer. So sleep specialist recommend if you can't fall asleep within 20-40 minutes to get up and do something else for a bit.
