Hi! This is my first post, and I'm not sure how to do this, but I'll give it a shot! I got diagnosed with depression in 2008, & therapy as well as mindfulness/meditation has made a huge difference! In the last couple years, I've had a lot more issues that developed. My allergies has made my eustachian tubes become dysfunctional, & I'm constantly getting ear/sinus infections! Last year, I had emergency gallbladder surgery, & ever since then, I've had a sensitive digestive. Then this year, I found out I have uterine fibroids! They're not large enough to get removed, but it's made me go to the bathroom more, & it's contributing to my digestive issues too. It's made my stomach larger, which sucks since my weight is already high! It may have stemmed from a possible sleep apnea, which I'll be tested for soon. I think it also stemmed from my mental health issues and all the other health stuff! I'm trying to rebuild my social life after moving to a new place, but it's so hard because I have to keep dealing with my health! So frustrating! Thanks for reading! Any thoughts?

      definitely now it makes sense! But I wouldn't pay attention to it big mistake u.u I love cats! I grew up w one too but now I can't have one cuz where I live and now this u.u I love animals too n.n binge on cat videos soothes me, yes depression is a bad companion and advisor to not taking care of ourselves, I know how it feels feeling behind on all that's going on, confused but have to keep trying God by our side, blessings my frnd hope u feel better too❤️

      I pray may God keep you I'm so sorry, now reading this it makes sense allergic rhinitis, sinuses and euchastian tube dysfunction I got really sick this October but now I know is badly treated allergies and Idk what I got in October they told me they found adenoid hypertrophy makes euchastian tube dysfunction worse, days alone aren't easy, but it all started w depression I miss my mom, she was my anchor and her loss was depressing me binging on the sugar and stuff and now I'm here eating healthy, losing weight but secluded afraid from getting sick in this winter time flu season, any nasal discharge affects my ear, I guess ppl now think I'm crazy saying I wanna save my ear, but the root was depression and this worsens it, we have to be strong not letting depression win, God is with us, I pray for you my friend ❤️

        @cassiecat I think the root of mine was allergies. I took a test, and I'm allergic to everything practically! Cats and dogs are the worst tho, and we have 2 dogs and 6 cats here! I love animals, and I grew up with cats, so it's really odd! I did notice my depression makes it worse though! I wish I could do more to get ahead and make myself feel better! I hope you feel better too! 🫂
