    Hi Lara, thank you for validating my feelings about it. A huge part of my anemia was very bad periods so since I have been on depo (about 6 months) I have not had any issues with it. the other part is my pernicious anemia which seems to keep returning so I inject B12 once a month for that and I do think it is helping.

    Stomach aches are also a huge issue for me. I have Celiac as well so sometimes I feel like since I have some inherent disorders that whenever I feel off, those must be it!

    I have not tried autogenous for my anxiety I will definitely look into it. Mostly I try to do light yoga and just sleep it off when I feel that my body really just needs rest. The hand tremors are not 24/7 which is making me feel better and like they could be stemming from something that I can control, perhaps it is my anxiety. It just weird because it has never come out that way before if that is what is causing it. Mostly my anxiety affects my moods

    Thanks for your input Anita,  I was definitely born a sensitive introvert. My entire life I have been told that I am too sensitive, I worry too much, and I need to grow a thicker skin. Whats odd is that these symptoms can appear when I am in my most relaxed state, in bed with my weighted blanket watching my favorite show. I had a good childhood, great parents and a loving extended family. I was always very awkward though, had a tough time finding my tribe and learning that I am very different in that I would rather stay home and read on a weekend rather than be surrounded by people in a crowded place with a lot of activity. I still get crap from my family to this day about my “shyness” although its introversion not shyness. I know they love me but it gets aggravating feeling like I constantly have to explain myself

    So I take 20 mg lexapro at night, 350 wellbutrin in the morning for the depression, and klonipin as needed but I dont like to take it because I have a degree in drug addictions and I have seen first hand how dangerous Benzodiazepines can be as far as developing a tolerance. I have been on the lexapro since 2012 and the wellbutrin since 2015. the klonipin was prescribed recently (last 4 months). I also have really bad nightmares and I know that is contributing to the exhaustion, I have horrible night sweats every night to the point where I need to get up and change but none of my doctors know how to fix them

    Hi Anita,   I am on multiple medications to control it and have been on them for about 5 years now. I see my counselor about once a week and we talk about anything that is bothering me. I went through a sexual assault in 2012 and since that point it really exploded. so PTSD is also part of my diagnosis. I do my best to just relax as much as possible. I try not to busy myself too much because I am a highly sensitive introvert so life can be vary trying at times and it does not take much to upset me even if i do not outwardly show it. I really try my best to take care of myself but I feel like at this point its not worth it, im so tired.
