My mental illness (Speak up, sometimes we aren’t okay)

As much as I hate to admit it I struggle with generalized anxiety disorder. I’ve always been this way. I’ve always had anxiety, I’ve been on medicines, I have went to therapy, I have left it alone… It’s always there. I have major health issues, mainly my brain condition, it’s neurological so it causes so many problems, on top of that I have pvc, pac, and tachycardia (electrical issue with the heart) I am exhausted. Going through my health and not having a doctor (I now see a new one on next Friday fingers crossed) that understands me and just chalks it up to being anxiety. Is causing my anxiety to go through the roof. Crazy right. I don’t think it’s my anxiety causing the issues but the doctors keep mentioning my anxiety and now my anxiety is a issue, if they’d just listen to my health issues and not chalk it up to my mental health. They are making me go insane. Now I really am struggling with my anxiety and I feel like there is no escape. People don’t talk about their anxiety that much. If they do, it isn’t considered a mental illness, but it is. It can literally ruin your life. I am so exhausted by everything. I’m just tired, and I’m not okay right now. But that’s ok, I know things will be better. If you struggle with anxiety don’t be ashamed to buy items you believe will help you. I recently discovered these magnesium gummies called Calm. I am going to try them, along with some aromatherapy, and just some simple self care love. Im going to start mediating again, shutting off from the world a hour a day just for myself. Whatever that may be, rather it’s music in your ears in a dark room, or coloring, or nothing but silence. Take care of you and your mental health. It is needed. There’s so many items that I have found on Amazon that I wish I could get if money wasn’t a factor, I think I have about $100 worth of stress relief/ anxiety relief items in my Amazon cart, I’ll buy a item here or there when I can if bills don’t get in the way, stress and anxiety is so real and it’s so important to take care of yourself.
