MDJunction to me

ITeach91"MD Junction has been a lifeline to me. The support and information I receive from group members is so important for me to maintain a good quality of life. I struggled with a diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency and did not know where to turn, but then I found MD and it has been one of the most important tools to help me to enjoy my life and stay as healthy as possible. We really are stronger together than we could ever be alone." (ITeach91)

Oh SCarlson I'm so sorry you are feeling so down today. I know how that goes and you need to get out and do something. Take the kids to the park and let them play, call a girlfriend. The kids are going to be ok. I don't think you should call that guy if you just got him out of your life. It will probably make you feel worse. Try and get out of the house and you will feel better. Stay strong. Hugs

Got out of the house for swimming lessons and that ended some of my pity party. No phone calls were made and that is a smart decision!!

Awesome! Way to be strong! Smile People who are bad for us only make our symptoms worse, right?

I hate feeling wired and depressed at the same time Dizzy I've been diagnosed mixed-states. When it's at it's worse, I try to think of it as being any other kind of sick. Sometimes I'll even lie down on a heating pad, cover up with a blanket and just try to distract myself with tv.

I'll get this overwhelming feeling sometimes that I HAVE to do something, while I'm depressed and overwhelmed at the same time. Sometimes clinging to the idea that it is only temporary helps the suffering. I don't know about you, but for me that feeling is one of the worst (except panic attacks, lol)combination of symptoms to bear, and I truely consider it suffering.
