My current diagnoses are;

Bipolar 1 with psychotic features
PTSD
ADHD
Fibromyalgia
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Hyperthyroidism (I think, otherwise hypo...it's from the Lithium)

My mental and physical health issues feed off each other. A bad PTSD or Bipolar episode can set me back physically for months, or longer and suffering chronic pain and exhaustion that cripples me can feed into depression. Right now I am mentally stable, but my physical illnesses are bad. I am often in severe pain and worse, am so exhausted I can barely leave my flat. This isolates me and makes most enjoyable activities impossible so despair creeps in at times. This flare-up has been going on for five months and I am only slightly better at the moment. Thankfully, I have avoided any mental health problems so at least I don't have that to battle as well.
