I have PTSD, panic disorder and major depression. I have been seeing a psychiatrist for 20 years. I have recently been diagnosed with a debilitating intestinal illness for which there is no cure. My family has had it with me I have lost all of my friends. I am all alone and nowhere to turn.

You have great resilience! I applaud you for keeping on track with a psychiatrist for 20 years! I struggle to be consistent :(

So just like you have had the grace to keep going for those years, more will be available for the new circumstances. Think back to all the times in the past when you wanted to give up, or family couldn't deal with your struggles. You kept going. Family members that may not have been understanding or supportive eventually realized they could walk with you....

We're all afraid of the unknown... Your family may be unsupportive now.... Because they're afraid, maybe even tired. They don't yet realize that the strength to cope with the new circumstances has been freshly supplied - they didn't need it before, s they didn't have it, but now they do and it is available. The same is true for you. New strength has been supplied for you to cope. So don't give up. Take it one moment at a time.
