Anxiety - Depression- DID
Hi all,
I suffer From Anxiety, Depression, DID, etc
I have been suffering with anxitey all my life and then the depression and DID came in this year along with some other mental health issues. It was very scary at the start because I spent the start of February in and out of hospital & recovery units just to try and get myself to a more stable place.
I then was starting to get better and it all went downhill again.... I was struggling, I didn't know much about DID at that stage. I had no supports either. I was using helplines a lot.
I still use them every known again if needed.
I found it very hard to open up to people and to trust people because I had been hurt so many times and unheard at times.
I have survived my own mental health at the age of 16 without help... Then at the age of 17 I had started to book my own GP appointments because I was going downhill.
My GP has been my main support through all my hospitalisations. She has never given up on me and she is still working with me till this day.
Then I got myself back to a more stable place when I got my support team in place. They are teaching me how to manage with everything that goes on around me and how I feel after a really stressful situation.
I am now 6 weeks clean from SH & being hospitalised. I want to keep it going because now I'm starting to see that there is hope.
I have a few quotes that keep me going -
Don't just survive — fight for your future
Hope is real & change is possible
When it's dark, be the one who turns on the light.
