shout out to all my psychotic mentally ill friends. we’ll be ok

cyclic vomiting syndrome is a chronic disorder where people have vomiting episodes on a cycling basis. for me, I get an episode every 3 months (on the dot) that lasts for 5-7+ days. I struggle with really bad dizziness as my main symptom. when my dizziness gets so bad, it can make me throw up but thankfully my vomiting has gotten better than it used to be. I’m on medication to extend the period between episodes which has helped us get it to every 3 months but once I get an episode, nothing has really helped my symptoms. my cvs is really debilitating. I can’t walk or move when I have an episode because it makes me too dizzy so I’m practically rendered to my bed for a whole week. I’ve missed a lot of my life because of cvs: school, birthdays, holidays, and special events. however, I’ve forced myself to go to some events for my faves (b96 jingle bash for taylor & sabrina and atx film festival) while having a cvs episode because it was the only thing I was looking forward to. you would have never known but I was experiencing an episode in the photo above when I pushed myself to go to atx so I could meet camilla luddington <3 I try to not let cvs define me because I do have many more good days than bad but when I do get a week long episode every 3 months, it always takes a toll on me knowing things that I’m missing and I struggle getting back into daily life & catching up on schoolwork
