Hey guys 1st time posting
I couldn't sit by and not get this off my chest
Its actually really getting to me
I've unfollowed her today after that anxiety chat last night
I can't deal with her anymore now
I myself have been diagnosed with PND after my baby and have always been anxious
I remember being 12 and having insomnia
Then I had anxiety about the insomnia
So for over half my life I had suffered with mental health issues
I managed to go to college and get a good job and I am working away and earning good money but very stressful job
After my daughter was born I had a complete mental breakdown
I'm just going to explain this here cause what I'm seeing on her Instagram doesn't sit well with me or add up
Granted people have different types of anxiety and different symptoms
My daughter is 2 now and I'm only back to work
I am on high dose of an SSRI
I steer clear of xanax etc any of those downer drugs because they can be very dangerous long term
But when I've been depressed and anxious I cannot even eat, I can't talk, I can't concentrate, I can't watch TV I can't read a book
My mind has been 24/7 tormented
That is the only way I can describe it as
Torture
I've had cancer and gone through other difficult things in my life
And I would take cancer 50 times over a mental illness
It is the most completely debilitating most painful thing I've ever gone through
It doesn't switch on and off
I've had a handful of panic attacks too only a handful
And you would be so drained and so shook after them you'd not even be able to speak
And definitely not articulate or put your sales pitch voice on and 'create content'
Anxiety and depression or both together are not comparable with living normal
There is no way you can get up get dressed put on make up and go to an overwhelming event like a PR event
I feel ashamed to say this but she needs a kick up the hole
She cannot just switch that is not anxiety or depression
I don't know what's wrong with her but just to give a bit of an insight into what it's really like
I didn't leave my home for 15 months other than being forced to go to my GP CBT or forced to go for a walk with family
That is what depression and anxiety is like
Also
I haven't drank in 3 years
And would be afraid to
My consultant told me not to drink on or off tablets as it is the worst thing anyone can do
And I wouldn't take the risk because I'd be terrified to get sick again
That is how bad it gets
