I am literally in bed most of the day, depressed, used to be a happy person, in pain and can't even plan ahead for most days. My life has turned upside down since my PCS, but i recovered and now I have fatigue extremely, body pains, anxiety and sensitivity to pain with digestive issues.
I can't fathom even getting up early, and right now as of typing this, I can't stop crying. I've gotten treatment for depression and although my mood is better, the fatigue continues. My parents don't completely understand what is up and think I can just get out of bed. Wrong. It's hard lately to do even do schoolwork, in fact, impossible. I also have Bartter's syndrome and have constant low potassium and magnesium with no change in levels despite supplementation from doctors. I live in a constant state of weakness and pain, with anxiety because 25 years old, I want to make friends and get out of my house. My boyfriend is concerned for my well-being and wants me to seek more medical care, but I feel like I have done everything I could and I just don't want to deal with another doctor telling me you look fine or you'll be fine. I came on here because I don't where else to turn, and my life is in a tough spot. I may file for SSI because the town disability services can't cover everything I need. I am racked up in medical bills because of this and need help badly. I need advice and comfort, possibly some hope. Please help.
