Edit: Im asking because I’m currently going through some serious depression and I’ve been forgetting stuff lately. I wake up every morning with a panic attack, I am too tired to do anything. I barely had any appetite to eat. I just wanted to see if I’m the only one. Hearing stories from others makes me feel less alone.

Sorry if I sound pathetic af, I’m just sad

Edit 2: I’m gonna mark this as NSFW because the potential very traumatic stuff.

    I’d say, right now.

    My Best friend of 35 years recently passed away, I’m facing three simultaneous surgery procedures in my nose (deviated septum, bone spur remove, and FESS) and I’m terrified of this. (Never so much as sprained an ankle in 51 years). And the side effects of the infection from sinusitis is causing serious mental health issues on top of the fact that I already have ASD, bad anxiety/depression and ADHD.

    Right now, my life has been an abject horror-filled waking nightmare with no safe place to find hope.

    But I’ll get through this.

      Just recovering from surgery right now. I was terrified going in, but the actual surgery was simple. They give you anesthesia and you fall asleep before you even realize they started it, and wake up what feels like seconds later in recovery. You’ll be sore afterwards but the pain medication keeps the pain to a low or acceptable level.

      Just remember, the surgery is necessary and in the long run you’ll feel much better.

        This is good to know. Thank you for replying. I’ll try and remember to bring this with me when I go in myself. I might need to read this several hundred times.
