Mikayla's trauma and health struggles

Hey! I know this post is a little different from what is usually shared here, so I hope it's okay.

TLDR: I’m wondering if any of you have related to some of the women’s stories on the show around things like infertility, trauma, health struggles, or mental health. And if any of you would be open to connecting to help support each other.

Out of everyone, I’ve related most to Mikayla (and some to Mayci). Hearing her talk about recurring health issues, trauma, and the way those things affect relationships and daily life has really resonated with me. My experiences aren’t exactly the same, but our journeys are very similar. (I relate more to their struggles with chronic illness, infertility, and trauma affecting intimacy, but not necessarily due to the same past of sexual trauma.)

In Season 4, when Mikayla talked about feeling like her health and trauma take up so much of her mental and physical energy that she feels like she’s missing out on life - That’s very much where I’m at right now, and it can be incredibly exhausting. (I can't imagine being on a reality show and in the public eye on top of it!)

One thing I know has helped me heal is talking more openly about these experiences, especially with people who have been through something similar, and releasing these emotions I've been holding in for eyars. So I’m wondering, have any of you related to the women’s stories in this way, or to Mikayla’s specifically?

If so and if you’d be open to connecting, feel free to DM me. I’d love to connect with others who want to understand and support each other. 💛
