    For me it’s autoimmune diseases, I collect them like trading cards, so if it’s something new it’s always just another body part killing itself. It’s also difficult to say what causes what since basically all of them have vague extra symptoms like fatigue. All of them also flare up if I’m stressed and since I’m autistic I’m also constantly encountering normal basic stuff that makes me stressed. And oh the severe depression on top of everything, so I am mentally and physically exhausted and they both feed each other. The conclusion is my body tries to kill itself but fails while I also want to kill myself. 10/10, I was born unfit to live

      Auto-immune autism gang here. You can beat the depression, but the psoriasis, arthritis and bowel inflammation just keeps going and growing.

      I like to think of it this way: I am built to handle being constantly uncomfortable in all kinds of ways. I do like what @BeUnique is offering for brain fog, though, and will try it out.

      Sorry to hear that. I know the feeling of being unfit to live. In the end, it is often more my environment or society that is unfit for me, than me being unfit for life. And your environment can change.
