Well, first I'll say that I have hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue, which both cause symptoms of depression and anxiety and making it hard to cope with stress. While I know this about myself, it's not helping when I'm in the middle of an anxiety crisis. I just turned 48 and don't feel good about where my life is. I'm still single, never been married, still don't feel successful in my job or finances, still financially dependent on my parents, who are toxic and have been the cause of a lot of my stress over my life. I've been having a lot of issues with friends lately, losing friends, feeling like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster with some. I feel like it's too much. I've become paralyzed where I just can't motivate myself to get on with my life. My thoughts have become obsessive, I've worn out my welcome venting to my friends. I try to distract myself, but I can't quiet all the chatter in my head. How do you cope with all the ups and downs of life and depression when your body has a disease that prevents you from being able to cope with stress?
