Trigger warning mentions of health / seizures
I haven’t been on here for awhile and I haven’t needed to I’ve been doing so well and for a moment I forgot about TheMix which is such a change from needing it every day but my health has taken a turn for the worst causing my mental health to be worse I was put on medication that caused temporary psychosis and made my seizures a whole new level I stopped breathing until my face went purple being sick during seizures struggling to breathe FND and the seizures take over my life my illness takes over my life every single day and one day I’m scared it might take my life yes functional seizures aren’t considered dangerous as epileptic ones but what about the people like me who stop / struggle to breathe during functional seizures out of all the other symptoms and I’m generally scared that one day it might take my life as some doctors / paramedics don’t take functional seizures seriously and I’m terrified that will cost me my life one day. Am I being dramatic?
Re: Change Management Session
Bit of a question, but what changes were actually made to what you initially had planned last year, based on the feedback you received from the community last time, out of curiosity? Cause i'm very open to this, but not if it's being ran as a way to say the community has had their input and views taken into account with these changes made, without the community's points and views actually even being taken into account in reality.
I don't want this to be a smokescreen to say that there's been active engagement with the community with these changes, when for the last week, it's been mostly radio silence from the mix, besides the announcement, vague Q&A's the mix personally picked out to answer, with the rest of the community questions not being answered and the few that were, not in a clear or detailed way, with long wait times for basic explanations.

i haven’t managed to get round to making this post until now bc everything has been up in the air n ive just not had the energy to explain my feelings atm :/.
been in n out of hospital due to my health but im better now. but many know bc of when my mum passed away n bc of how they have treated me bc of my mh i rly dislike that hospital. but when i was there all i could think abt is my mum :/.
ive been going to my drs rly frequently bc she’s been wanting to try n help me with my mh health n to support me too. she has requested a mdt meeting is held but im not sure what that is? but its to get me support which is gd.
ive been feeling rly awful in myself. of course me n my bf broke up n ive been feeling heartbroken bc of that. bc i still feel like noone can love me bc why would they? im not someone who ppl would ever like :/.
im trying my best every day. i try getting up having a shower. eating meals etc. but i rly have fuck all energy to do anything. but im trying every despite how hard it is for me atm.
im so sry for writing a rly useless n long post. just needed to get everything of my chest.
