Hi Stephen

I’ve been exactly where you are. Are you taking anything for the depression and anxiety? If not, go to your doctor. I won’t tell you that you’ll be okay, because you won’t for a long time. But it’s okay to be “not okay” for a while, because you’re ill.

Here’s my favourite link

*Stefan, haha… everyone gets it wrong.
Hi Anne,

I’ve been to the docs back and forth for years (I rarely go down, because I feel judged and that they assume I’m making up my symptoms because the blood tests say everything is fine). I refuse to take anti-depressants. I finally caved in some months ago and felt terrible. I stopped taking them after 11 days. I don’t think medication is the answer, and I’ve thought hard about it.

I’ll check out the link.

Cheers
