Tiny steps back to life...
One morning back in 2004, my life suddenly changed.
I went from beeing a happy, full speed ahead, multitasking and so on person, to in an instant, someone who was filled with fear and anxiety. I had a total breakdown, my body and mind said, enough is enough.
Due to a bunch of bureaucratic mess up, I didn't get the help needed in time, so my condition just increased the wrong way.
I don't remember much from the first couple of years. But trying to drown my worries in alcohol sure wasn't the solution. Dang, I just felt more and more depressed and sad, and couldn't stop crying. So I luckily stopped drinking very quickly again.
No meds seemed to work right and beeing sent to a psychiatrist turned out to be a 5 year long waitinglist!
Fortunatly I got an appointment in june 2011 and I still see him every 2-3 weeks. It turned out that I've ended up with Chronicle Stress, CFS (Chronicle Fatigue Syndrome) as well as a bunch of sideeffects issues due to the meds. My anxiety level is much better now, but there's a long way ahead before I will get better.
Now, I'm the type of person who will not just sit back and wait. I thought the psychiatrist would give some exercises or something, so that I could feel that I was doing something about this situation myself. But no!! It's just sessions where we talk. Okay, that's of course also a good thing and he is super nice to talk to at the same time.
For more then a year or so, my family have had problems with a certain person who keeps harrasing and doing bad stuff. I have eliminated in my surroundings, everything that would give me and my family negative feelings, but this person we can not just say, move on away from us. We are connected in a way so that is not possible.
I've become more and more depressed during this, so I needed to try and take control of my life again somehow.
Small changes, but they are hugh for me. And I know this is going to take a while. But I believe that things happens for a reason even though we might not see what that reason is. I'm not a religous person, but I see myself as a very spiritual one. I think the time has come to move more ahead in that direction. There's more between heaven and eart then we know and several things that has happend, have me thinking this is what I'm suppose to do something about.
