Surviving the dentist #Depression #Anxiety #Fear #Stress #PTSD #MentalHealth
After 5 months I finally had my last scheduled dentist appointment. I donât know you but I hate going to the dentist. Growing up in the 60âs dentists were quite brutal. I remember one time the dentist having his foot on the dental chair getting extra leverage to extract a stubborn tooth.
The dentist I see now is considered one of the best in the country, and charges accordingly. Having replaced my top teeth with implants and completely overhauled my bottom I am sure I have funded his familyâs next skiing holiday in Switzerland.
I am on a first name basis with my GP and cardiologist. They are very caring and supportive. I am grateful for the great work they have done. I am always happy to see them.
I am grateful for my Dentist. But I wonât miss him. What medical professional do you prefer not to see?

Feeling Emotionally Sick?
I cannot remember the last time I did not experience a full week of not being emotionally #sick . Sometimes mental health disorders do not give us a break. On the days where I feel like I already am broken before I get out of bed, I have to remind myself.
"Be the best version of you" today. Do not stress about trying to be #perfect when the reality is the #Stress of life is what makes us #PerfectlyImperfect
Love,
Valerie

Stress
How do you guys deal with stress and anxiety? I try to walk daily, journal, and do my breath work. Still, I get anxious and stressed. How do you deal with this?

Bipolar 2 - impact of medication
Iâm curious, Iâve been taking low dose lamotrigine now for around 6 months. At first I felt a shift, I felt more centred and each day I get a sense that I think differently, I am making better choices, my thought patterns feel more coherent, can anyone relate.
I feel like Iâm only mildly on the spectrum of bipolar 2, hence the late diagnosis at the age of 57.
My psychiatrist is assessing the diagnosis and is no longer certain, now considering maybe an anxiety disorder. think bipolar2/anxiety disorder are both pheasable.
I feel I have been anxious all my life and masking depression, I think the manic behaviour has been a result of trying to escape or fix my anxiety.
Now I am taking lamotrigine I feel like the mask has come off, I am no longer manic (or as manic) but I also canât escape the depression I have been masking.
Can anyone relate? I told my daughter they are reconsidering the diagnosis and I could see she was anxious about this.
I explained I am doing much better and she agrees but only since I have been medicated.
Can anyone relate?

Politics ruined a family relationship and I feel bad for my mother. #MentalHealth #Stress #Grief #Relationships
So I don't want things to be too politics but I have no idea where to vent. So I guess here we go. So my family is divorced. My mother has been dating this guy for about a decade now. It was a rocky relationship. Wasn't compatible. Where does politics come into play. While not too long ago. They got into a massive fight. Two conflicting were head to head until it ended a decade long relationship, now I know it wasn't meant to be but I just feel bad for me mom as she is lonely and this had to happen. My empathy is going off the roof, I'm sorry if I don't have much to say.

Is this it?
Trigger warning: Hopelessness.
I guess Iâm a glutton for punishment to try to reach out again, as I know no one will respond, but⌠is this the way things will be forever? Feeling depressed, anxious, stressed? Stuck? Is this the best it gets? I have a lot to be grateful for, and I am. Sometimes, though, I just feel hopeless.
