    I'm new here!

    Hi, my name is Lifeisreal51 and I am bipolar. Controlled with medication.

    My current reason for being here is to help my husband and me on how to support our adult child. I’m looking for parental support for my adult child who has not gone to a doctor for an anxiety evaluation. We are at a point that it is time for her to consider this option and possibly medication. She does go to weekly therapy that has helped and helps, but she is progressing and anxiety is getting in the way of balancing her life. She does have a medical dx of PCOS that does affect her hormones and her health anxiety. She is in the process of leaving one job and starting a new one. This under normal circumstances is stressful so anticipate this change is adding to the anxiety.

    What communications are helpful and what are not for encouragement, but not enabling.

    Flare up

    I suddenly felt this intense pain under my breasts and it really hurt so much, I couldn't move my arms. I had to lie down as suddenly the pain spread to my whole body and it hurt to move. I cried a bit as I listened to music and lied down then after an hour, I felt a bit better so got up and did some stretching. I also used my pain cream called fisiocrem and took this supplement called khapregesic which helps with period pain and anxiety. I feel so much better now and I am grateful for this 🙂

    Saw a rheumatologist today and same day had a new gp cancel appt

    I hate that the medical community could care less about us and more about their pockets. I have had horrible sub par community doctoring. And today the rheumatologist just knew me from a appointment I made online she didn't know me from atom. And made her own judgements in two mins even flat out sent me bk to my GP and endocrinologist. I am over this crap I so wanna give up finding remaining answers so bad. Plus two gp's in my area canceling appts for no good reasons. I am over it. The little care I do get is crap. #PCOS #Type2Diabetes #severestiffness #severebodypain #feelingveryalone
