Isolation is fucking with my head. I'm back at checking calories, thinking about cutting, I'm disassociating and having flashbacks. Emotions up and down like a fucking mad roller-coaster. Thoughts ping pinging round and off the walls. Agitated and anxious, time for some PRN.

wow! just had an awesome meeting with the head of my department. I, unfortunately, had an anxiety attack at work last week. I was so embarrassed. he called me in today so see how I was doing and if there was anything he could to make me more comfortable in my work environment. he was very understanding and I felt very comfortable to share my concerns with him. he made a change to my assignments which will help and made it clear that he seems me here long term. that is what I needed to hear from him. I have always worried that I would be let go whenever I make the smallest mistake or if I have to ask for help. he made it clear that I can be confident in the knowledge that they want me there and that I am doing well. while, as we all know too well, anxiety doesn’t always care what is said, today, I am feeling more confident and will remind myself of this conversation when I’m feeling worried about my employment status here. #GoodDay #understandingemployer #MedicatedAndMighty

I hate how I live off of my medication. Anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, depression and chronic fucking pain to name a few. I know that without any of my medication I wouldn’t be “me”. You see, without my medication I wouldn’t be alive. It’s something I’m constantly reminding myself when I feel guilty taking my pain medication, that this is giving me a quality life. It’s hard to not feel guilty taking pain medication with this whole epidemic 🙄. I am fortunate enough to have a doctor that prescribes me these meds but I wish I didn’t need any of it. If I didn’t have the pain meds my depression and anxiety would increase. If I didn’t have the anxiety/depression meds I would probably be 6 feet under. If I didn’t have my ADHD meds I wouldn’t be a productive human-moving and getting out of bed is something I know I wouldn’t be able to do. I wish I didn’t need any medication to be “normal” but some of us aren’t that lucky. Wish I didn’t feel so guilty about taking pain meds especially 🙄😥 one day I hope I won’t need these meds to function. Does anyone else feel guilty taking pain meds? Do you feel guilty being on medication in general to feel “normal?” I feel so alone 🥺☹️ #ChronicPain #ADHD #Anxiety #Depression #PTSD #MedicatedAndMighty #OpioidStigma

Up at four am and can’t decide which health problem gets the blame 😅 #Hyperthyroidism #GravesDisease #illness #Anxiety #BackPain #MedicatedAndMighty #MedicatedAndMightytired

I have natural African American curly hair and one of my tools in my survival kit is to do my hair, it is extremely relaxing for me and distracting at the same time. I recently read about antidepressants causing hair fall/shed and I thought is was happening to me for many other reasons. The article I read about, the author had the luxury of discontinuing the medication, I on the other hand do not. Any advice is welcomed and needed. Doing my hair has at times saved me and it’s important to have something about me that represents good health.

Has it struck anyone else that all of those people out there preaching "Change your way of thinking, change your life!" and "You have control over your own mind!" very rarely take into account those with mental illness. We had a positivity speaker at work the other day, and while I agree with the premise, and that it might work in the "normal" brain, what about those going through a depressive episode? Not once do you EVER hear these people bring up #PsychiatricMedication to help people help themselves, it's always "You can do it alone!" I don't know, maybe it's just me... But I thought that just maybe someone on here felt the same way... Thanks for reading my rant!
