Until I started DBT, I was unaware how much of a problem splitting is for me. I do it constantly.

Now that I’m finally somewhat settling into accepting that I do have lupus, I am left with the fallout of pretty severe mental health complications caused by going through the diagnosis process and loss of my old life.

Weight gain is a known possible side effect of some lupus medications, especially Prednisone. I take prednisone daily and have the notorious “moon face” that this medication is known to cause, which can really affect my self-esteem sometimes. This poor woman has the world bullying her over an unavoidable consequence of the meds she takes to keep herself alive and that is despicable. I am grateful that Selena Gomez uses her platform to spread awareness about lupus, so it really hurts my heart to see her getting picked for her weight, especially since it comes from her taking care of her health by taking her meds 💜🦋
