When i say this has taken EVERYTHING from me.. it has. My mental and physical health is affected by this. I get sick and throw up all the time; affecting my weight, metabolism, and dental health (I threw up an hour ago (a)). On top of that I have chronic pain (mainly in my knees and hand joints) which makes me not want to get up and walk around to stretch. I also have POTS (80% of people with EDS have this), which causes me to (again) not want to move or be active. All of this worsen my mental health. On top of depression and anxiety (which EDS can cause) I possibly have bipolar (1 I think) which isn't great lol. When I go thru manic eps I don't really feel my pain, but when I get level headed... the pain is so much worse. Over all, I might talk about my mental and physical health a lot but THIS IS MY LIFE. IT IS NOT A CRUTCH TO INFORM PEOPLE HOW THIS AFFECTS ME AND WHAT HELP I NEED
