Bio
Hello! I am so glad you have made your way to 7 Cups of Tea! My name is Emma and I am a trained active listener. I am here to support people struggling with self-harm; anxiety; substance abuse; eating disorders; and managing life with chronic illness, chronic pain, and disabilities. I have personal experience in these areas, and hope to use my experiences to help others in similar stations. I am currently pursuing a degree in social work to make a career out of my passion for helping others! I cannot promise to have all the answers, but I do promise to listen and not to judge. If I am online, please send me a chat and we can get started! Again, I am glad you are here!

Brain Fog Help?
Disability Support / by LittleLadybugEmma

...See more My brain fog has been so bad recently. I will desperately search for my phone only to realize it was in my hand all along. I recently spent several minutes staring at my toothbrush trying to remember what it was for. I have "returned" the milk to the cupboard and the cereal to the fridge after getting breakfast. I have accidentally used shampoo to wash my face. Those are some of the funnier / most ridiculous examples, but it is seriously affecting my abiltity to function. It can be difficult for me to find the words to carry on a conversation. Sometimes hours of nothing pass without me realizing it. When it is at its worst I am barely able to process what people are saying to me. I feel like I have the attention span of a goldfish. I know that I am intelligent, but it is hard to feel that way when everything is so cloudy all the time. I have tried making lists / notes, but I either forget to write them or forget to use them. I am not sure what else to try. Does anyone have tips for how they are able to cope with / reduce symtoms of brain fog?

...See more Group of several conditions of autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction. The entire body can be affected because of the widespread role of the ANS. Dysautonomia affects regulation of heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, body temperature, and other vital functions. The hallmark symptom is orthostatic intolerance, which is the inability to stay in an upright position for an extended period. The specific type that I have is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). I also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (HM type), Mast Cell Activation Disorder, and chronic fatigue.
