[AnxiousSilver in reply to Hidden]

A little stressed since my parents are struggling with their health. (long story there)

What's going on with you?

[Hidden in reply to AnxiousSilver]

I have had a lot of things going on and I have been accused and threatened 3 weeks ago for something I never done and what has triggered and I have struggle for going out just incase they start again and I had to call the police 🚔 and since then I won't go out much

[AnxiousSilver in reply to Hidden]

That sucks, and I sorry that happened to you.

If you can't go out, then try to at least open up a window and get some outside air in the mean time.

JMO.

[Hidden in reply to AnxiousSilver]

Thank you and how are you doing and are you getting any help

[AnxiousSilver in reply to Hidden]

No problem.

TBH.. I'm kinda a mess with GAD, PAs, and depression swings ATM, but I'm also trying to take care of elderly parents that are going through health issues. I know that I need to put myself first, but I love my parents, and I want to enjoy as much time with them left as I can.

My help and support (what was left of it) got ruined by the pandemic.

The last 5 years for me, (to put this nicely, have sucked) especially since the pandemic hit, because my problems were getting worse.

My physical and metal health were getting worse, and I was falling apart because I was trying to do everything on my own. (big mistake, but it was also a learning mistake for me to learn)

The one thing that the pandemic taught me, is that I can't keep doing what I've been doing all on my own.

So with no available support groups, and therapists mainly wanting to meet remotely in my area. (OH yeah I should have mention this earlier, I also have trust issues from being backstabbed a lot in my life, but that's a whole other convo)

This is my support, and I badly needed this place. I need to rebuild my support and connect with others. Both in helping others and asking others for help too.

This is a good and supportive community. You are in good hands here. Share what you feel like sharing, and feel free to help and ask for help, because growing together as a community is what's most important.

[Hidden in reply to AnxiousSilver]

It is nice to have good friends on here

[AnxiousSilver in reply to Hidden]

Yeah..

I should have said this yesterday, (but I was having a bad day) If you ever need to PM me, my door is open to you.

[Hidden in reply to AnxiousSilver]

Ok and im sorry for you and how are you doing today

Hi Musicsamsung77,

Did you go to the doctor because you felt low? I sometimes wonder if the doctor telling me I have depression made it worse? I went because I thought everything was hormonal, but found out it was depression.

Now I have been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue syndrome, I feel more tired than ever!!!!!

I guess I’m asking you if you think you feel worse since the diagnosis or is it that your brain allows you to see all the signs and symptoms more clearly ?

I’m sorry you are feeling low. If nothing else you can occupy your mind with my question. It is something I can’t quite figure out for myself. Lol

Hi again M,

I’m really sorry. That sounds terrifying, I hope you are safe?!

[Hidden in reply to Gealtachta]

[kenster1]

hi sorry to hear of your diagnosis but now you know look at it as the first day you do all you can to manage it and make life more bearable hopefully being here helps along with support nearer to home.

[Hidden in reply to kenster1]

Being depressed, isolated and scared sucks. However, unless you have a history of depression, it sounds like your depression (and anxiety maybe?) is situation-dependent i.e.) due to your (normal) emotional reactions to the accusation, threats and isolation. As such, given that life is always in flux, there’s hope that once the current situation improves, so will your depression.

Not that you have specifically asked for help but, I’m curious about and, it would be helpful to know, more details e.g.) what is the accusation? Who is making the accusation? What are the specific threats that have been made? Have you been diagnosed by a general practice doctor or a psychiatrist or psychologist?
