@Srotberg15 Hey Seth! Great to see you here. Hope you're doing well. Also wondering how you're feeling about the Super Bowl...anti-Tampa Bay, or pulling for your old pal Tom Brady? I'm left wishing my 49ers would've made a bigger attempt to land him last year! #patientchat

Laurie Reed @LReedptadvocate
@patientchat T1. Good question -- probably one we should be asking each other more often. It's so variable these days isn't it? Today, I'm alright. A bit anxious about managing my time this morning -- want to be here but have a commitment halfway through the chat. #patientchat
Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@scrufton73 @FibroFlutters Hi Carole! Hope all is well. Good to see you here! #patientchat
Patient Worthy @PatientWorthy
@darlakbrown We think that makes sense, especially in such an unprecedented time we're living through. #patientchat
Simply Kristy @SimplyKristyD
T1: I am feeling good today. It has been a rough few weeks so I am grateful for the improvement in my health both physically and mentally today. #patientchat
Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub
@patientchat T2: I'm really worried about fatigue & the weather forecast adversely affecting my Sickle cell health for the worse. #patientchat

T2 I aways wory before my check-ups; I have 2 approaching. But my irrational fears don't hurt anyone. I'm good. #patientchat
Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@darlakbrown Totally relate to this, Darla! Trying to process what's going on in the world is such a challenge on it's own, then we add what's happening in our own lives/the lives of those we know & love, & it's a lot! Thank you for sharing. You're not alone! #patientchat
Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba
@SimplyKristyD I can't complain. #PatientChat
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15
T2: As a worrier, there are always things worrying me 🤣 but on a serious note, I sometimes worry about how other people perceive me as I pressure myself to be well-liked by everyone (knowing this isn’t possible and working on improving this mindset). #patientchat
Patient Chat @patientchat
@PatientWorthy @darlakbrown Yes, that’s such a relatable feeling! #patientchat
Jeff Dubin @Power2Patient
@darlakbrown T1 I think I'm beyond trying to figure out what's going on the world. Too difficult! #patientchat

Simply Kristy @SimplyKristyD
T2: My kids are set to resume in person learning on Monday so while I am so happy they get to return to school I am concerned about the increased exposure to the virus. It is so tough to balance what is best for them mentally vs potential risk to my physical health. #patientchat

Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@patientchat T2b: That one word "yes" is a bit snarky. Not meant to be dismissive. Just trying to say that for me, there's plenty I'm concerned about...me/my health, my family, my home, my city, my state, my country, the world. It's a mess in a lot of places! #patientchat

@patientchat Music is wonderful! #patientchat
Simply Kristy @SimplyKristyD
T3: I am actively practicing self-care by getting outside for a 30-45 minute every day and by shutting down technology at 9pm and reading. Trying to keep my body active (as much as I can tolerate) and give my mind a rest so my sleep improves. #patientchat
Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer
T3: Going outside, meaningful conversations with family and friends, therapy, and journaling. Can always use more! #patientchat
Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@patientchat T3a: I’m trying, but not doing a good job. Being a parent/adult with a #RareDisease has its challenges, one of them being I feel bad enough attempting to take care of my needs, so when it comes to self-care beyond that, the guilt sets in even more than usual. #patientchat

Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@patientchat T3b: I’ve tried to practice self care through writing. It’s hard, though (hands don’t cooperate, making the time, & other challenges). Blogging was nerve-racking, yet also therapeutic. My last post was in October & dealt with mental health. #patientchat https://t.co/ttEpzGB6ed

A4. Meditation and mindfulness. Have been learning more about it and it seems helpful, so trying to put it into practice more in daily life. #patientchat
Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@patientchat T4: Taking my own advice (in addition to the advice of others) would be the ideal next step. I love to support, encourage, & try to help other people, but when it comes to me, I’m definitely not the best. More self-compassion would also be helpful. #patientchat
Simply Kristy @SimplyKristyD
@Power2Patient The Netflix trap is real!! I had to get intentional about improving my night time routine because the insomnia was happening too often and impacting my physical health. I have noticed an improvement so am trying to maintain. I do miss Netflix though. #patientchat

Patient Worthy @PatientWorthy
@aggievic14 @RareDiseaseDad @patientchat Gratitude journals can be incredibly helpful! I have two - one I fill out in the morning and one I fill out at night. That way I'm forced to start and end my day with gratitude, which has shifted my thinking a lot in terms of overall wellness. #PatientChat

@patientchat T6: I've been using the #RareDiseaseTruth hashtag this week (thank you, @NeenaNizar!). It's helpful & feels good to get some of these truths out there. It can be heartbreaking, exhausting & somewhat difficult, but it's necessary (for me). I'm glad I'm doing it. #patientchat

@patientchat CT: T1 made it clear that many of us are feeling strained, stressed, burdened, overwhelmed, etc. Sometimes just sharing these things rather than suppressing them can be incredibly helpful. We can be heard/seen/listened to. And we can realize we're not alone. #patientchat
