so, i had a stress induced heart attack. home and resting now. i should heal if i can actually avoid stress (how?).
worse news is that i need help. no money for transport to follow up cardiology appointments, and i'm in a great deal of debt after this. incredibly sorry to ask 🧵
some thoughts i've spend the last week thinkin:
i get told often now to log off and just recover alone but, honestly, i haven't made any friends out here in the real world or have a real life support system due to fatigue and staying inside. being softbugz is everything to me. i know that this sounds ridiculous but the potential of returning to taking my silly pictures and videos brings me joy. i hope every day that my life will turn around and i can be a streamer, artist, and model once more. since mid 2025, i have been quite disabled. more than what my life so far with minor chronic illness has brought me. i was hospitalized many times trying to keep myself together while no food stayed down. since then, i continued to work as hard as i could to keep it together. today, one year later, my body is begging for proper treatment. the details of my health are extremely embarrassing and difficult to spill. i'm sure many relate to this. but, to summarize, i have had lifelong inflammation targeting my body. this gave me a very hospital filled childhood. my immune system was always weaker than most and i was always frail and skinny no matter what i ate. during the height of covid, i caught it. then, two car accidents altered how my spine works forever. these events triggered enough trauma within my body to leave me dealing with the cherry on top that is POTS. this syndrome is unique for lots of people with it and i could go on all day with how it makes my body dysfunction head to toe and how hard it makes my life without the right accommodations. a few months ago, i was told the valves in my heart are insufficient. this is causing blood regurgitation and I am in need of genetic testing to get to the bottom of the apparent tissue hyper-mobility i've got going on. i need leg ultrasounds to check on my veins, brain scans to check on activity, heart monitoring to keep track of progress, medication to bring up my blood pressure, a wheelchair for the flare ups, so.. so much just to keep me from getting as bad as 2025. i was dying and i still kept working. i still kept posting. because i love being softbugz. i hope none of this changes how anyone here sees me, i hope i'm still hot! hope i'm still the same bug you like to see :)
hopefully i stabilize enough to where no one will know what i'm dealing with again. at least not without asking. for now, i'm just a fatigued and weak little lady that could use some help recalibrating.
@FunniVerglas this so so so sweet thank you <3 while this is my job, its a huge blessing to be able to do it. i would be doing the same stuff even if i was in the office work mines
