Quick update

Hi all! I haven't posted anything for a little while, but I'm still here! I've been busy with work now, which is helpful most days for my depression. But my anxiety is still quite terrible. I recently lost health insurance due to income and have to pick something else I will hopefully be able to afford ok. I am hoping once I get new insurance set up I can get some doctor appointments set up and tackle this issue. I'm so tired everyday it's hard to function. My memory is suffering and that makes me feel depressed because I know it's not what it should be. Some days I'm utterly exhausted and it's a serious struggle just to get through running on auto pilot. I'm wondering if I'm not getting the right restful kind of sleep when I am sleeping, leaving me perpetually tired. I know the anxiety is not helpful with that either.

On the positive side, I am saving as much money as I can to buy my own car so I will no longer have to be tied to my father and grandmother and doing all their errands. It's keeping me motivated to know I will eventually be free. It does feel good to be working and making my own money. If I can manage to get this anxiety under control, that will help even more. One thing at a time right now. I will hopefully get my insurance set up this coming week.

I hope everyone is doing as well as possible. I know it's a daily struggle for a lot of us on here. Know you can do it. The strength and power is in you, even when it doesn't feel like it. We can do this, together. :)

congratulations on your saving for your own car, that is really a big step, good for you. Sorry your going through the anxiety and tiredness...it's all exhausting sometimes, but your still treading water, that's very good. Try to catch up on rest as much as you can on your days off if you can.

I do try to get as much sleep as I can on weekends, but it's still hard. Anxiety will wake me up, leaving me with broken sleep and still feeling exhausted. I keep trying cause I don't know what else to do. Hopefully I can hang on a little longer to see a doctor.
