Caliorigin 0 Posted May 3, 2019 I have suffered from anxiety a good chunk of my life and have been diagnosed by several “mental health professionals” with various conditions. Basically bipolar With serious anxiety. It feels like it has worsened over time. I have been riding the medication merry go round for over 20 years. I am at home on disability currently. In the area I live in there is no decent mental health care that I can find or that will take my insurance. I am seeing a psychiatrist for my medication but stopped seeing the therapist there as it wasn’t working out and there were no other therapist there that would take my insurance. I have had some great therapy in my life but screwed it up, anyway so I don’t have many to talk to since I am home alone all day for most days. My husband will listen, but he gets frustrated that he can’t help me and I am tired of complaining every day about what’s going on with me. I can go on and on but I will stop there... anyone else?

Booandlou 0 Posted May 4, 2019 Hi Caliorigin: I have had mental health problems also since age 14- depression and anxiety, but also when i had my first child at 27 i had a period of post natal psychosis i believe as well, as i was anxious but also hallucinating. I have had a recent death of a friend who was only 41 from cancer, and this has majorly affected my health anxiety, my health anxiety has been around in full force for about 2 years. I wouldnt wish it on anyone, ever..health anxiety is truly a horrible condition. My life is governed by obsessing over my symptoms, googling, touching or pressing areas of my body that I think are effected. I am not living a life anymore. I am only existing. Basically; I understand what you feel and the loneliness inside even if you have lots around you. You aren't alone. Xxx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baileyisreal 0 Posted May 17, 2019 Also understand how you feel to suffer your entire life! I go through seasons for worse/better anxiety, but it is always there. The past few months have been absolutely terrible with very scary depersonalization and derealization symptoms. If you ever need anyone to talk to, I could use a friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
