I am a 30 year old single mother living with schizo-affective disorder, PTSD, and severe chronic pain caused by a collagen and connective-tissue disorder similar to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
I've been having a pretty hard time for quite a while now; I've been in severe denial about it and I have a hard time not pretending I'm fine. I act like I'm doing very well, like I'm happy and coping, so often it's hard to turn it off and really be myself. I hate this...
