Could use some prayers and good vibes please y'all. I will keep this brief, even though it goes extremely deep and this is just the tip of the Titanic

iceberg. TW: SA and ED.

I just got a call from a nurse, and I immediately knew it was bad. I had done a wellness check-up yesterday for work, and she was calling to tell me my results.

My triglycerides should be 150 or less; they are 927. My glucose should be 100 or less; 427. My cholesterol should be 200 or less; 300.

The nurse kept emphasizing that I "need to live" and was so so very kind. She spent about 30 minutes on the phone just witnessing to my heart as I cried and saying that she knows people care about me, and I need to keep prayed up. I could die from this, she said.

My mother used to ground me from food, and my sister also had anorexia. She put me in Weight Watchers at the age of 12, 5'4", 122 lbs.

Long longggg story short, I was r@p3d of my V, which I was saving for marriage. She said that I had "spread my legs", and set about cleaning up the only evidence I had: blood spot on the bed. She then kicked me out to be homeless.

At this point I no longer cared for myself and I wanted to die. My very first reaction at my first chest pain was glee. I ballooned up to 403lbs, 5'6" by this time.

I tried again, warrior that I am..lost 86 lbs. Ballooned back up again when I got closer to the weight I was when I was r-worded.

Lost 96 lbs AGAIN, on my own..no surgery or GLP-1's. I thought I was doing so much better, and I have been really trying. I had to have a complete hysterectomy due to endometrial cancer due to PCOS..due to weight..already. Got through that.

Then 2 weeks ago I woke up and could barely walk. Now I need an endo, ortho, new pcp, and perhaps a rheumatologist. I don't know how I am going to afford all this, even insured.

I am really struggling with forgiveness right now. I am diseased, childless, and virtually penniless..due to things this woman set in motion.

If anyone can spare a kind word, thank you so much in advance. I am at work (thankfully work from home bc I am crying my eyes out) so may not be able to respond to everyone. But know that it would mean the world.

To make matters worse, it is my best friend's bday today and I could REALLY use a hug, but do not want to burden him with this.

You have so much going on but there is hope because you are motivated to get healthy. Concentrate on this and getting healthy again. I had a horrible bout of arthritis flaring up badly in February and was in a lot of pain. My triglycerides had risen too and never had that problem before…my A1C levels had risen too. My primary care doctor is monitoring it and sent me to a rheumatologist. He tested me and said I also had osteoarthritis. Gave me a lot of good diet information and suggested I only use ceramic cookware and not fry, broil, grill or use an air-fryer. No seed oils at all, eliminate sugars from diet. I’ve been doing that and my levels are a lot better. I cook almost everything at home and have been eating a huge amount of cruciferous veggies (coleslaw, kale salad, broccoli, etc.) every day and raw Romaine salads, cucumber etc. I have been diagnosed with cancer returning as well but I feel really good, so am optimistic that what I am doing is helping with that. None of us can erase our past. The very best we can do is concentrate on the present and focus our efforts on improving ourselves and our lifestyle and do better each day. I think if it worked so well for me, that doing this will work for you too.

Yo queen, I just wanna say, reading your words hit me in a real deep way. The way you’ve been through so much pain, but still keep standing That’s some real strength. Ain’t no way you’re not a warrior after all you’ve been through. They say God don’t make no mistakes, and I believe everything you’re going through is just part of the story He’s writing for you.

I see the hurt, the struggle, but I also see the resilience in you, and that’s something nobody can take away. I’m praying for you, sending you nothing but good vibes and strength. You’re not alone in this I need you to feel that, for real. I’m rooting for you, we all are.

It’s okay to feel all of it. Just know that you’re worth every ounce of healing coming your way. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Keep fighting, keep pushing, and keep your faith strong. I know you’ve been through some wild stuff, but you ain’t gonna stay down. You’re too strong for that.

And please don’t feel like you gotta carry this alone. When you need someone to listen, when you need a prayer, a hug, whatever, you’ve got people in your corner. Stay prayed up, sis, and know you are loved never forget that.

Stay strong, stay prayed up, and keep your head high. Much love and respect to you always.

And hey, hope I hear from you again real soon, fam. For real.

I KNOW you can win this battle. You have people you don't even know fully supporting you. I for one look forward to your posts (and pics) every day and want to continue to see them for a long time to come. Remember that surviving all of your hardships built you into the beautiful person we all adore. I hope that our love and support enable you to win this battle.

Feel free to reach out anytime you need to vent or just want to share the little victories along the way.

By the way, oddly enough today is my best friend's birthday as well.

and hey hapoy bday to your bff!!
Hey Triglycerides can be brought down. Your persona care provider should give you advice to lower them and meds if necessary. I’ve been there! Don’t give up!

You are definitely strong & one of the most loving & caring people I know. You're always ready to help even complete strangers & be there for people but you never wanna burden anybody else with your own stuff.

You're never a burden. You're powerful & loved & a lot of people need you. You need yourself too though so be kind to yourself too. Be selfish sometimes when you have to & don't feel bad about it because you need it & deserve it. We all care about you more than you know
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@ChiefJustWalks made me tear up man, i don't even know how to thank you..you are clearly projecting all your amazing qualities onto me..i had no idea people could see me the way you described.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@foldedunfolding nah I'm not projecting anything, it's really the way I see you. There's been numerous times I've seen you go out of your way just because you knew you could help someone & I've never once seen you ask for anything in return. You're soul is just as beautiful as the rest of you which is a rare quality
Really sorry you've had to go through so much. If I was your best friend I'd want to give you that hug, I'm betting he feels the same way so reach out to him.
Meanwhile we're all here for you.
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@robingoodfellow aw thank yoh..he just held me and let me cry. he could tell through my voice, through a door, that something was wrong. he told me he is even going to try to improve his own diet along with me, so there will be support and less temptation in the house
DrWatson · 70-79, M
A best friend would NOT feel burdened by your saying you need a hug. This is exactly the sort of thing friendship is about.

You are worthy of love and friendship. Please recognize that the thought "I don't want to be a burden to him" is really your mother's voice still telling you the lie that you are worthless. Please, go to your friend, tell him everything, let him hug you, and thus break one more chain your mother tried to shackle you with.

I am praying for you.
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@DrWatson thank you so much for this..fortunately i didnt have to make the decision myself..he heard it in my voice. i just wanted him to have his special day, y'know?
JackDaniels · 46-50, M
Don’t always agree with you but don’t like to see anyone hurting or feeling bad. Good vibes coming your way.
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@JackDaniels thank you 🩷
JackDaniels · 46-50, M

foldedunfolding · 41-45, F

As I come before you in prayer, I pray for child the one known as Ms. Folded.

Set a hedge around her as you've done for Job (Job 1:10)
I Bind the Spirit of infirmities according to Matthew! 8:18 and loose the Healing Spirit.
We choose to uproot every root from our lives and plant the seeds of the Word that keeps us free.
In Jesus's mighty name I pray
Amen

The triglycerides can come down with some medicine and even though your sugar was high, many experience even higher than that.
Had you ever experienced a high blood sugar before this, or is that the first time? Did they mention treatment, like oral pills or insulin?
Straylight · 31-35, F
I have nothing but kind words to say about you. You really are a warrior, so strong. I’m just sorry that you have to be.
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@Straylight mannnn i don't deserve youuu 🥺🥹
dubkebab · 56-60, M
You've been in my thoughts for a long time. Few people have affected me to the degree that you have.
This past year and especially last month have been diffifuckingcult for me to a huge degree,but I'll figure it out. Don't doubt for a minute that folks care about you.
People like us are resilient,trust dat. Tomorrow might see a really nifty hummingbird alight on a colored leaf in just some certain cool kind of way-who knows?
Ananke · 26-30, F
I'm so sorry to hear this. I sincerely wish things begin to look up for you soon. You deserve a break.
foldedunfolding · 41-45, F
@Ananke man that sounds so nice. thanks, girly. i am trying. i at least want to pay this house off so i can help my best friend later in life.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
I wanted to add, you have been through such trying times, and you deserve joy. You're going to take it step by step and going to be Ok 🌷🤗🌺
