The story

So basically, I'm in online class due to having this heart problem that's called VSD (ventricular septal defect), and it makes me lose my breath easily, and I get palpitations every time I run. So there's no hope of actually going to face-to-face schools due to walking long hallways and going up stairs. And there's barely anyone in my online class that I can be friends with. It makes me feel a little lonely, and I'm an introvert. But just because of the sole reason of wanting to be alone, I don't want to be lonely, y'know? And because my class starts from 8am to 4pm, I have to stay home for 8 hours, which makes me feel a little isolated inside my house. And when I go out, I can barely even have fun anymore since I always lose my breath so easily. I can't even swim in cold pools and beaches since I get cold so easily. At family gatherings, I can barely even hang out with my cousins since they go out every night. I can't, though. It's basically because I get cold so easily and I can quickly get sick and have a runny nose. I barely even have any friends to talk to; last time I went to school when my disability wasn't a challenge, I had tons of friends. But now, I've only had one friend from my old school that still keeps in touch with me. And she has regular class, so I can't really chat with her every day. Plus, I barely know anyone that shares the same interests as me. Sometimes during online classes, I use my phone during lessons. And technically, every now and then I use my phone to cope with the fact I barely have any friends to talk to and have fun with because I find it fun to use my phone since it's not reality; it's the opposite. It's getting out of reality.

Hey there!!! I totally get what you're saying about how tough it is dealing with all that stuff... Kinda feels like you're stuck in a weird limbo, huh? 😅 It's honestly super relatable that you'd feel lonely—even introverts crave some connection, right?? It's pretty exhausting, dealing with all those problems while also trying to keep up with life…… You're doing your best, though!! 👍 Keep using those small escapes to cope, like your phone—it's like a little breather from reality!!!! Who knows, maybe you'll cross paths with some awesome folks online who dig what you dig?!! Keep your chin up, better days are coming!! 🌈

Are they any support groups/info apps for your health condition? Maybe talking to other people with the same condition could help with the daily struggles. Asking what their hobbies are or how to deal with going out/staying warm; just bounce ideas off each other. Here’s to hoping a friend who understands comes along 🌈❤️
