Essential Tremor

I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for a good portion of my life. It has made it hard for me to find and keep jobs. I also have essential tremors which makes things hard like writing. Recovering alcoholic and addict. I'm 49 years old and from Georgia.
Obviously new to this group. My anxiety has gotten so where I experience issues with being out of my house and out and about for more than a couple hours. Working on stuff with my therapist. She said I'm not ready to get a job and that I should start volunteering though I'm on disability income and they said that I need to at least find a job with the minimal hours to keep my benefits. I'm currently living with my parents and desperately trying to get back up on my feet though there have been a couple setbacks but fortunately it has nothing to do with drugs or alcohol. I'd love to make friends on here and be able to relate. Nice meeting everyone 🌻 #MentalHealth #Depression #Anxiety #EssentialTremor #Addiction #AlcoholAbuse

I went 24 hours without vaping. I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict like I said many times over. My sponsor told me that I need to take baby steps. I've already told so many people that I'm going to quit for good this time and I guess it's not the best time for me. I know that it affects my depression and anxiety though right now I don't have a lot of stuff to occupy my time and I need to work on that. I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I know that time is coming though like I said I need to find more things to do so that it will be easier. I don't feel like a failure because it'll just need to be a goal that I will have to work on with baby steps like my sponsor said. #Addiction #MentalHealth #Depression #ADD #EssentialTremor #Alcoholism

Hey all

My Myoclonic jerks started around 12-13, of course I just called them twitches until I know what Myoclonic jerks are

I'm currently 28 and the Myoclonic jerks are progressively becoming more frequent with some being a little more intense than others. I cannot do really any task without a jerk happening. I can have like 4-10 in the space of a minute

The essential tremor is relatively new, only the past 5 years but has significantly got worse. If I am standing for more than 5 minutes or maybe Its a hot day and I am attempting chores, my entire body will be shaking

I had an MRI a few years back with nothing showing apparently but I don't have a Neurology appointment until April 2024 and because I'm undiagnosed I never know where to turn

I have various other health issues too including craniosynostosis and a cervical spine issue also undiagnosed

Hi, I am cgolias120. I have #Epilepsy , #Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 1, #IrritableBowelSyndromeIBS -C, and #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease I juggle every day. I also have #EssentialTremor . I survived COVID-19 as well. I am looking for support and to share my stories. Many of my problems are nervous system issues, but they also affect my digestion.

🇬🇧Hello, my name is Adele. 🙋🏼‍♀️I am here because I regularly post on social media sharing what it’s like living with multiple rare and complex chronic illnesses to raise awareness and to support others. I pride myself on my positivity whilst being honest about the challenges that living with multiple health conditions comes with. I’m not “so positive” because I’m exceptionally brave or anything like that. It is my own personal coping mechanism that I’ve adopted since childhood because most of my conditions are congenital. I’m also here because I am keen to learn and appreciate different writing styles in topics of interest and adopt my own so I can achieve my bucket list and write a self help book for other parents who face similar daily obstacles because of their health. I am excited and honoured to be part of this community.
