I have anxiety and depression and lately i feel like im getting put to the test with something. I don't know if im stressing or my anxiety is just through the roof, but i've had headaches all week, i've been super tired and I have had no appetite. I know there's other mental health issues that i might have, i think i may have a personality disorder so i have been stressing about that and stressing about what to do with the relationships I have in my life. I know i need to focus on myself and get myself better but i just feel like there's so much I want to do and get done and I just feel like I can't do anything like something is stopping me.

You do need to focus on yourself, but I know it hard than saying it. But don’t push the people in your life away. Yes sometimes you will feel you don’t want to talk but even having setting next to you helps.

I completely understand the way you are feeling and have been in the same space this past week. I have only eaten one time since Monday afternoon and have gotten out of bed an hour late all week. I am pushing through today trying to do it differently than I have the earlier part of this week. I actually have an appetite today so hopefully things are looking up. It is tough worrying about what other illnesses you may have (physical and mental). I suggest learning as much as you can about the illness in relation to your personal self and try to come to as much peace as possible with the possibility and begin to at least mentally create a game plan for if you do struggle with an additional illness. Having a plan of action and taking steps towards making it happen will help and help you feel more in control of the somewhat uncontrollable.

Unfortunately i completely understand where you're coming from. Stress, anxiety and depression alone is enough to make you wanna stay in bed and not even care if you eat or not. I lost 10 pounds in a week from doing the same. But just know that this anxiety you're feeling os just temporary and you are not alone. Its easy to say i need to focus on myself and better myself but actually doing it, thats the kicker. Take is slow. Go for a walk. Go spoil yourself with a new top or a pedicure. Nothing too nig. Maybe just lunch with a friend. I know its so hard to get motivationto get out of your comfort zone but a body at rest will stay at rest. Wishing you all the luck!!
