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

Hi Newbie,

Sounds rough - you got a lot going on. I'm relatively new too.
My days ok just a little bored but going out shortly.
Take care of yourself.

Re: Newbie today!

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 🙏 

Re: Newbie today!

Thanks so much, covid is awful but I'm getting there
