G'day, Hayward!
Outstanding advice. Posting has many uses, and that is a good one.

Do you see one of your issues as being "The biggest" one, and if so , do you concentrate on that one the most- using meds for it?

• Depression is my #1. My other problems could eventually kill me; depression (together with its auxiliaries) could lead to self-harm. I take a number of meds for different conditions.

After all of these years, are you still wondering if you have received the correct diagnosis? Does it ever seem to change for you?

• I am confident of the depression diagnosis and a few others. I now have a Generalized Anxiety Disorder diagnosis that grew out of an inability on the part of the medical folks to satisfactorily pin down a neurological issue -- and there is a neurological issue. Some gray area exists between psychiatry and neurology.

Is there a certain issue that you absolutely must tackle first in order to make progress with the others?

• In my case, it's unclear the medicos and their bureaucracies (plural) believe I can make progress. I feel I've been "triaged" off to the side. (I'm a bad one to attempt to answer this question.)

Is there a distinct difference between the issues or do they all overlap.

• They are all intertwined. Worse, with all the meds, I cannot isolate the effects of any specific one, and some of the side effects of the meds are identical to the primary effects of some of the illnesses.

Do you ever sort of ignore one thing and it is just fine left alone?

• No. They all cry out for attention all the time. Yes, I do get to feeling overwhelmed. And when I'm overwhelmed, I return to your first question -- depression comes first, and I attempt to meet its "needs" before the others.

...don't many of you have trouble knowing which section you should post under on this site??

• I'm generally too apathetic to worry about it. I make my best guess and then trust the moderators/administrators to move the subject as they see fit.

Wishing you a hopeful New Year, Hayward!
