Hiya all! How do you deal with many mental health issues at a time. I have so many they should all cancel each other out and I should be normal😂
i have behaviours due to epilepsy too:face_with_rolling_eyes: such joy I felt in auras
adhd dyspraxia major depression anxiety panic attacks ocd traits social anxiety Ptsd/cptsd and autism which is rather neurodevelopmental.
Feel complicated and tired. How do people get help

Hi @Cocoloco ...I hear you. I have a lot of illnesses and it's hard to juggle them sometimes. Some even clash with each other, like my hoarding disorder and my germophobia. Usually I just have to focus on the one that's the most urgent at the time. I also can't work on them all at once in therapy, but need to focus on one or two at a time.
It would be nice if they all cancelled out each other, like you say!
That's a big load you're carrying...good luck working it out.

@Cocoloco I have a list of labels also. Exhausting to think of them mostly.
It’s tricky finding help, as it’s important to get a good fit. It took me a long time to find someone, but it was worth the wait.
No one is perfect, but kindness and respect are high on my list of requirements.
Keep trying, if you aren’t too tired. All the best.
