I never asked for hEDS

I just need to rant and i felt like this is an appropriate place for it so it comes. I (18f) have decently mild heds, but i do have a plethera of symptoms linked to it and i have had an official diagnosis for months. I have always known im very hypermobile and stuff. I have had specific dreams that now seem to be slipping away. Ever since i was in middle school, i have had a passion for being with kids and wanted to work in kindergarden. I have been told by multiple specialists and professionals that my back and hips are not made for lifting anything daily, such as little kids, which means being a kindergarden teacher is not something i should really pursue. I would love to have kids of my own one day, but that does not feel realistic anymore. I dont want my kids to possibly have this condition too, i would not wish this upon anyone. My grandma and mom both (very likely) have heds too, even tho they dont have diagnoses. Both of them have had rough pregnancies, multiple miscarriages and terrible, near deathly births and im not sure if im ready to do all that. I have been feeling quite lost and pointless lately and i dont know what to do and what to dream about. Sorry if my english is not that good, its not my first or even second language...
