Living with Anxiety, Cyclothymia, SPS, ADHD & PMDD

hey!! I too have anxiety, pmdd, and spd!! hydroxyzine has helped with physical symptoms of panic attacks for me, and I just started taking Yaz in July for pmdd!! this has all been recent diagnoses for me as well besides spd, and having a label for the way that you feel can be very helpful. there are ups and downs through the process definitely, but it’s all about learning what works best for you, even if it takes time and trying different things. my messages are open anytime if you want to talk!! ❤️‍🩹

Congratulations on getting your diagnosis! I felt liberated and optimistic for the first time in a long time when I got mine. Like you, I basically knew my diagnoses before I even got evaluated. Sometimes I feel like I wear a mask around others or in public, and when I get home I'm back to my truest self. I used to wish I lived alone so no one could see these differences and I could just wither away in my own toxic routines, but I realized I needed more social interactions, to be out in nature, and doing things that gave me purpose, to feel whole. It's a struggle everyday, through all the pain and anxiety, but I've come a long way and I'm excited to share my journey with likeminded individuals on this app! Thanks for sharing your story, my messages are always open if you want to talk!
