Welcoming myself

[Kayleexoxochurch]

Hello! My name is Kaylee. I am a 24 year old woman that suffers from major anxiety, depression and PTSD. At the age of 19 I was diagnosed with Lymphoma, Sjögren’s syndrome, and lupus. Around two years later I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Since then I have been through various life events that caused me to be diagnosed with PTSD. It has been very scary going through what I’ve been through at such a young age. Lately I’ve noticed my anxiety depression and ptsd has gotten a lot worse so that is why I decided to try to find a support group online. I’m on medication that was prescribed by my psychiatrist but unfortunately I do not feel like it helps me. I have tried several different options. Talking to a therapist helps to a certain extent but I feel like a person that’s never experienced the things I’ve experienced can’t really help me in the ways that I really need it. So I am hoping someone on here can. Thank you in advance!

I'm so sorry for all you have been through. Too much at such a young age. Finding medication to get you through each day is tricky. You have to sometimes tweak and adjust them until you feel like they work properly. Even when you are on meds that work it doesn't mean every day will be a good day. You just have to take One day at a Time...........some will be great and others horrible. That's life living with this horrible disease. It is nice to know we aren't alone and that other people are on here wanting advice and someone to talk to. Good luck.
