Newbie today!
Hey everyone!
Just came across this group while doing research on MH disorders and trying to get my head around what's wrong with me 😔😔
I'm living the dream in SE Qld & have lived here for 20 years now, born in NZ, female, sepated 10 years, 2 teens.
Long story short; have been unable to work due to hronic health conditions, and have just been diagnosed by a psychiatrist MDD & Comorbid Anxiety, along with FDV & CPTSD ...I have so much going on and don't know where to start 😪
AND returned a positive RAT test this morning. Go Me!
Hows everyones Sunday going?
Thanks for reading 🥰🥰

Re: Newbie today!
Hey @Pheonix1! A very warm welcome to you!! 🎉
It sure sounds like you have a lot going on right now and it can feel totally overwhelming trying to get your head around it all at once. Getting a new diagnosis can be both confronting but also empowering too.
We have so many wise and wonderful people here on the Forums and I hope you can feel that this is a safe space to ask any questions, get some support, and share wins/challenges.
SANE has a range of good information for many diagnoses available here: https://www.sane.org/information-and-resources/facts-and-guides That might be of interest
Take good care of yourself, it is all one step at a time 💛
Kind regards
Peregrinefalcon

Hey @Pheonix1 welcome to the forums! Glad you happen to stumble upon us in your searching today. Hope that it becomes a safe place for you to gain some support and friendship.
There are a few people on here who also have chronic health conditions alongside their mental health issues.

Hi Phoenix,
I'm a newbie too & still getting my head around being part if a forum.
Its no wonder you feel overwhelmed atm with so much going on. I do hope you will see the light at the end of the tunnel very shortly & that you don't get too sick with covid.

Re: Newbie today!
Thanks so much for the warm welcome 🙏 🤗
I've been really struggling with covid and the isolation from my partner, I think that's been the hardest part 😫
I will look through the link provided, thanks again 🙏
