Last year I had some pretty serious depression because I'd been so sick for so long none of the long list of doctors and specialists I'd seen knew anything useful to tell me. I was suicidaland was actually hallucinating.  A lot of mental health issues run on both sides of my family and I hated feeling that way so had myself committed.  I was diagnosed finally as bipolar schizophrenic after the doctors gave up (ten days after checking in) and I was sent home. After that I was so drugged out of it I had no idea what was going on and had to have the medication changed several times. Then this fall I found out it was a hormone imbalance (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and stopped going to therapy and went off the anti psychotics. When I went off those though I started having migraines so bad. Now I'm on bipolar meds that help. I decided though now with all the stress of the diagnosis and starting treatments I needed to go back for therapy.

Now the arthritis is getting so bad in my back I can hardly stand or even sit and am having to seriously consider a wheel chair. I hate going anywhere now because the walking and standing causes so much pain and it just makes me feel sick. I guess it's just all part of the battle though like not getting to wash my own hair anymore.
