How am I supposed to get through an other day of having to endure the EXCRUCIATING feeling of my bra and underwear screeching my skin like it's fingernails on a blackboard? /genq /I am going to end it /I can't do this anymore I'm going to become a nudist

Edit: I only wear "comfy" no seam underwear and no wire "comfy" sport bras because it's the only thing I can tolerate but it's NOT ENOUGH

RIP Oshega. They better come back on their own headline tour because the crowd sucked :(

Hello POTS community,

I don't know whether I need emotional support or to be pushed into the right direction but I am so desperately lost.

I, 21F, was recently diagnosed with autism. The slow excruciating process of which reminded me of other conditions I have suspected for years. It might seem unrelated but adding autism to the list realigned how I see myself in so many ways. I was turned down again and again when trying to get answers about ASD and it has brought back the thought of POTS.

A year or two ago, I went to my family doctor to let her know I had concerns about POTS. She shut me off quickly with the infamous "ah yes the new tiktok condition". Not having the energy to advocate for myself then, I went home with no support. This made me crawl back to my shell and I never brought up HEDS to anyone, which has also been on my mind a lot.

I hate the thought of self diagnosing myself with POTS or anything else but my experience trying to get ADHD, ASD and other conditions on paper has honestly left me unmotivated. I know a diagnosis is not worth much as I am usually able to get throughout the day just fine but some days are much worse and my symptoms drain me. Is it even worth to go throughout the health care system again? I don't know.

The depression, ADHD, ASD and being a woman combo makes me feel unwell most of the time. I feel deeply misunderstood. I have been doing a lot better mentally in the past 2 years but physically I still feel off most days and I don't know who to go to for my health anymore. I'm scared of being let down, judged, medically gaslighted etc.

Today, after a long hospital shift, I started reminiscing about physical symptoms I often get. I found my way to this sub and was left with such a good feeling about the community. I guess it made me want to open up for once. Maybe I only need to vent. Maybe I need support. I really don't know.

There is so much more I wish to say but my body and mind are beyond exhausted.

Or are we gonna get regular GA later?

I was looking at tickets and it just closed off and now it's telling me the next sale is tomorrow??? Also is floor only VIP wtf I don't have 500$ to drop like that...
