What other conditions do you have?

I struggle with a lot of mental health issues i.e (anxiety, depression, ptsd, I've struggled with bulimia and body dysmorphia for four years)
Besides mental I have a heart/fainting condition called POTS, (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) so anytime and literally every time I stand up I either pass out or get another array of symptoms.
With all of these things jumbled together I get severe brain stem aura migraines which make it hard to leave the house and even get out of bed.

EDIT: I also forgot to put I have severe PFPS (Patellofemoral pain syndrome) and arthritis which runs in my family

In the past I was diagnosed with depression & anxiety, but I also had eating disorder, then I got diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, but they didn't even ask whether I had or have experienced abuse and I had experienced extreme abuse for 36 years. That got overturned and I got a diagnosis of PTSD - Developmental & Adult Trauma, otherwise known as CPTSD. I no longer have depression or anxiety or eating disorder, but I have to manage my Autism and PTSD pretty carefully. I don't use drugs other than occasional Tamazapam. I do a lot of therapy and attended hospital for a trauma&dissociation group therapy 3 week program, 3 times, last year. I use keto dietary measures, that helps as well. I do plenty of journalling and other arts-for-therapy.
