Chronic Illness on Yik Yak | Is it weird that I always mentally shut down when I’m having a medical emergency, but when someone else has a medical emergency, I don’t shut down and I’m quick to help someone if they need/want it, and am usually mentally fine when that happens?

That seems to be a common thing I’ve noticed. I don’t handle my own emergencies well but I lock in when it’s other people’s emergencies. It’s like you know what needs to be done but are too emotionally invested if it involves you. Does that make sense? Idk
