MajorDepressiveEpisodes

My life has changed so much these last 3-4 years. Migraines became chronic and I’m now peri menopausal. Essentially, I’ve gone from a svelte healthy runner to an overweight hermit. I cannot exercise or go out in the sun (migraine triggers) & and now an empty nester. My husband of almost 30 years has NO compassion. My friends have for the most part given up on me due to all the cancellations. Easily crying and constantly thinking of exit plans.
I’ve almost had enough. I live for my dogs and my kids. I cannot wait to see what my 21 yr old (the baby) will do with her degree. The others have done great. #needtohangon #NeedSupport #EmotionalSupportDogs #MajorDepressiveEpisodes #Cryingspells

#Depression
I'm not new to the depression game, and I've had GAD for a while...but I've never had anxiety affect my depression so clearly. Here's the deal: whenever I face a responsibility, I panic, worrying I'll get depressed and won't accomplish it--then because of the panic, I spiral and lose control.
How do I get a handle on this?? Advice please...! Thank you in advance.

In my line of work, I’m often faced with stressful situations, often always patient related, and which decision will be the right one.

In an academic setting, I’m in a residency programme. I have exams in which I must face a number of examiners and have a conversation.

In my most recent set of exams, I recognised an aspect of my #Anxiety that I hadn’t registered before. With all these types of situations, I experience #depersonalisation

My diagnoses: #PersistentDepressiveDisorder #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder with #MajorDepressiveEpisodes

I’ve been in therapy for about 7 yrs.
