Introduction and Struggles with Mental Health

I have Bipolar, ocd traits, depression, anxiety, occasional physchosis, Raynaud's, hypermobility, asthma and on news year eve I was in a&e with a pulmonary embolism so I am now on blood thinners for a while! I try to stay off medication as much as possible and prefer to battle through it, obviously with a PE and asthma I have to take medication to be breathing and well. come say hi if I don't sound too crazy ๐Ÿ˜œ

how are you handling these cold nights and gas and electric being at a all time high?? I'm literally putting the hairdryer on to heat the inside of my thermal socks, shoving my feet into them quickly and jumping Into bed to conserve the heat

Not crazy at all. Physical problems create mental stress. Or so for me. I have had 3 DVTโ€™s, the first round, multiple PEโ€™s. Having Crohnโ€™s Disease makes me more hypercoaguable. You should investigate why you had the PE, my guess is from DVT. Hormone therapy can cause it, a fall. My first one, all 3. Be diligent, keep on the watch for similar symptoms. I am on blood thinner for the rest of my life. Itโ€™s vital to keep an eye out for recurrence.
