is this all life has in store for me?
a life full of anxiety and depression. endless diagnoses, pain both psychologically and physically, endless injuries, hospitalisations and being a lab rat for medications

Hey there outlander. I am sorry to hear that's been your recent experience.
I too go through anxiety and depression but have chosen to avoid those other things of my on free will, for better or for worse I am not sure.
I am sure however that this is not all your life has in store for you, no one knows their future before it comes so we would be better off not jumping ahead of ourselves. there might be plenty of great things in store for you
depressionand and generalised anxiety are quite common too and nothing to be ashamed of. It's not really.a new phenomena, nor is it a personal fault, that is to say it's okay to have them although uncomfortable and sometimes painful and hard to deal with.
I am beginning to exercise daily, starting today lol. So Il let you know if that helps me with mine.
