Anxiety and POTS

Dealing with the new diagnosis of Postural Orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and how it coincides with my anxiety and makes my symptoms worse.

I don’t know how to cope with a new condition like this as I just got to a good place with my anxiety with ibs and now I have to go okay I’m having a pots episode how I do cope without triggering an ibs flare alongside it. #PosturalOrthostaticTachycardiaSyndrome #IrritableBowelSyndromeIBS #Anxiety

Body issues

I feel isolated.I am 22 years old and I dont know how to get past this because i feel like i cant relate to anyone. Ive been living with tinnitus since 13 and recently got stomach issues. (probably IBS since all tests were normal). I always struggled with self-image since I have pectus excavatum and my ears developed strangely. I know it might sound funny since there are much worse things happening but all of the things combined got me feeling really anxious.

I wanted to throw this out, trying to find someone who is struggling with similar if not same issues.

Tired of trying

I have dealt with depression most my life. It has been more prevalent in my adult years. For the past 4 years I've been unable to work and function in my daily life or take care of my basic needs. I do everything I told, I go to therapy I take my meds I practice my grounding techniques for my cptsd. I spend most of my day in bed unable to find the motivation energy or desire to get out of bed. Making decisions seem to be impossible for me. Things just seem to be multiplying the depression is getting heavier. I also just found out my best friend is moving, my only friend. I just wonder why I should keep trying. I'm tired of just existing with no feelings and no emotions I am just numb to the life around me. I am truly lost.
