How the mind and body are closely intertwined and how being dismissive and cruel about severe anxiety, depression, other mental health issues causes harm. One doctor sort of got it, but the meds she prescribed caused a severe allergy. Ugh.... This was a while ago. Before the **** which I prefer (personally) not to talk about most of the time...I wish I had a bit more faith in doctors, I don't since I have had many (literally) VERY scary experiences. Misunderstandings, wrong dxs (for physical things),insults, scare tactics (the latter are the worst) I guess I've been ''unfortunate'' Sorry about the rant. This post wasn't planned, it's somewhat impulsive. I'm usually not ''impulsive'' ....

I'm so tired of severe anxiety... I've experienced it for ''most of my life'' UGH. Sometimes it's manageable, other times it makes me want to... the thing we are not supposed to talk about (together with bipolar and whatever else it is I have going on)

Any tips for managing anxiety? Sometimes it's only benzos that help....

Sorry about the crap post. It's not one of my ''better efforts''... I seem to be in rant mode, having been withdrawn for a long time.. barely even talking to close friends.

I'm no doctor, but I pretend I'm smart on this site...enter disappointed single serving half laugh.

People do not understand yet,

Mental illness is in everyone, they might be jealous because you can confront reality better than they can. You rock, to hell haters!!

[Fuzzybear]

I think my parents hated it that I could confront reality better than they could... having lied to me for years, I did not remain the silent high achiever they had wanted. Anything ''less'' than the silent high achiever THEY wanted would, and did... result in permanent exile. Insanity. That ''family'' of origin was close to that. They did not allow me to speak My Truth.

Their Lies and distortions.... were extreme

and yet they appeared, to outsiders, to be ''normal, wonderful people''.... so their Narcissistic charade was a ''success''... unlike, of course, me.

Yeah, right.

[Fuzzybear]

The Narcissist's Insults. So many of them. Such ugly relentless lies. Which of course, reflect their ''deep insecurity''..

I wonder what happened to them when they were little to make them that way. It's sad.

[Fuzzybear]

And of course, the identified ''patient''..... none of those ''perfect'' people....

Confusion is an essential part of their reign of abuse, as it's a key ingredient of trauma bonding.. Interesting!! To me anyway. None of the professionals have said anything like that to me.

Thanks Bizi. I probably ''avoid'' them too much now having had so many ghastly experiences. Not sure though... it's not only psych meds I'm allergic to, it's other meds too. And many other things. (it's so ''boring'' ) I asked once to see an allergist. I did get a referral but not to an allergist, to a dermatologist. They prescribe creams which I'm allergic to... Papa bear worked something out which a dermatologist did not. I'm allergic to paraffin (which is in nearly all of the creams) Only cream we've found that paraffin is not in is baby aveeno.

I saw a couple of allergists many years ago... they identified many allergies. Now I have even more.
