@Blueberrybook Sorry to hear about your grandma.

@LadyShadow congrats on the new job!

Nothing much to report today. These last few days, I've really been feeling the weight of the reality that I could end up needing IV fluid infusions for the rest of my life. I'm only in my 30s so that could be a lot of pokes. I guess I'm more just feeling the weight that comes with realizing different things about what a chronic illness entails, including the life long part. And, as some of you have maybe felt when it comes to mental health diagnoses as well, there is something very lonely to me about being sick in a way that no one can physically see so they do not really understand.

I've also decided I'm going to at least pause the birth control so I can (hopefully) get a break from depression.
