Hi everyone
I have been reading a lot of mixed suggestions of specialists about links between physical and mental illnesses ,like say ptsd or severe anxiety to heart failure and lots of these types of connections ,if there is indeed a connection ?
well I think it is a given as I know in my own maybe journey that they both come hand in hand
maybe not all the time but there definitely was for me .
Dont get me wrong , when I was growing up I was in and out of hospital with bad asthma attacks that i missed a lot of primary and some high school so I have never had a normal bed time routine .
But I did go through a lot when I was younger and if ADHD and all these other diagnosis where
invented then I would have been a candidate for some of them .
I am saying all this because in my adult life I worked all different shifts and call outs etc..in the same job which I put a lot into and worked my way to becoming an engineer which was also harder because I missed a lot of seeing my Kids(catch 22 out working to provide for them bit at the cost of not seeing them as much)
Anyway the reason I said at the start was that after I saw an accident at work one day it really hit me harder than I thought ,and although I grew up in quite a violent neighbourhood and seen a lot worse I dont think I have been the same since and it was shortly after this I had Congestive heart failure ,Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema,etc and I could kind of feel it that something else was not right and after all the close calls and other complications i still feel it some days my anxiety gets that bad i cant string two words and i cant sleep some nights when I frustrated lying staring at the back of my eyelids for hours I feel like getting up
and punching holes in the walls but I never do as i would probably not make it up on my feet it is just i can count on one hand the amount of times i have been comfortable in the last few years and i think these things are all definitely connected.
warm regards to everyone and sorry or the typos
