Someone to Talk to About Not sleeping

Hello, I've been a listener for three years and I graduated B.A in Psychology last year. Male

For the past 17 years, I have been living with multiple chronic illnesses. I spent over a decade going to doctors every day of the week, becoming a pin cushion for every physician, an experiment, and nearly saw over 200 western, eastern, holistic, integrative healers, & followed endless protocols, surgeries, procedures, diets, and medications that wasted away my twenties and thirties. Eventually, I reached a point where I stopped the search for new doctors, and I entered a long journey of learning how to manage my conditions, care for my two children, and hold onto hope on the hardest days, without a roadmap or anyone who truly understood what I was facing. The life I never expected taught me more than I ever anticipated about resilience, self-advocacy, strength, motherhood and finding small ways to keep moving forward when your body does not cooperate. I have learned how to adapt, radical acceptance, being ok without having solutions, and how to hold space for uncertainty. These skills I carried quietly for years, not realizing they had real value for others going through the same. I hope to give others empathy, support, compassion, practical tools, and helpful ideas to get through the hardest of days and cherish the smallest of moments.  I want to become a Certified Recovery Support Practitioner because I believe the most powerful thing you can offer someone who is suffering is proof that survival is possible. I have lived through years of difficult days and continue to do so proudly, still growing, learning, raising two kids, & discovering how strong single moms actually can be.  My children are my WHY. I want them to see that the years I spend at home were not years lost, but were years of building the kind of wisdom and empathy that cannot come from a typical career or class. This certification is my way of turning lived experience into something meaningful, for myself, for my family, and for the people I hope to support.
