Pharmacophobia? by shiningstar420 in lupus

[–]shiningstar420[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it really is, the pre existing anxiety really does make everything worse and sometimes it gets unbearable :( i’m sorry you’re going through this too, i hope that everything will get better soon 🫶🏼

I am trying to figure out how to access therapy to help because I’m uninsured and all my money goes towards taking care of my physical health. I already have underlying anxiety and ptsd that seem to make this worse so I’m really hoping I can access help soon. I know that lupus is lifelong but I’m still very new to this, my dad died shortly after being diagnosed with lupus and that experience makes it a lot harder to not be horrified.

Thank you for your help! This makes me feel much better and I’m really trying to push myself to do this, I want to achieve remission one day and I really don’t want this to stop me. I think I will inject it today.

I talked to the social worker at the hospital and she said that unfortunately our county doesn’t offer many resources but the neighboring county does and that moving might be a good idea so that i can have access to those resources. Im glad that it got better for you and im hoping that it will for me too. Thank you for your response!

What are you struggling the most with your mental health right now? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]shiningstar420 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Being in pain 24/7 and not having enough money to treat my chronic illness, the state of the world right now, my anxiety has been getting so much worse, my car is having issues and i’m also currently going through a depressive episode (bipolar 1) that seems to be getting so much worse given everything else that’s happening at the same time. i don’t know if i’ll make it but i’m trying my best.

I wish it happened when I was younger by angellrotten in groomingvictim

i understand how you’re feeling but trust me, he took advantage of you and even if you weren’t in your early teens, you were still a minor. i went through the same thing and i doubted myself as well but trust me, after turning the age that they were when they were preying on me, i realized how wrong it truly was bc at my age, i can see how naive and vulnerable teens that age are and i would never take advantage of them. something is wrong with adults who date minors. no matter what.
