Introduction and Struggles with Mental Health

Morning, I am new to this so I am not 100% sure what to put 😂 I live in the UK with my husband and 2 children. 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 😜

Not crazy at all. Physical problems create mental stress. Or so for me. I have had 3 DVT’s, the first round, multiple PE’s. Having Crohn’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. It’s vital to keep an eye out for recurrence.
