I am 23 years old and I’ve been dealing with pain most of my life first it was migraines (diagnosed at 16) than fibromyalgia and anxiety diagnosis came around 19 or 20 it was very scary for me think that if im going thru this now what am I going to do when im older and how are all these meds going to affect me in the long run I had to stop working recently and I worry about what am I going to do for an income I am currently in the process of doing an appeal for my disability claim and im praying its approve if not im worried about being a burden on my family I think ppl don’t understand what we go thru with this condition its more than just pain its fatigue which to me makes it worst and when you’re also faced with anxiety in my cases I still don’t know what brings on my attacks but with that being said I feel that we are some of the strongest ppl we have to deal with this everyday we still choose to push foward and live life which makes us overcomers
** hope you all have a blessed day

I too have an anxiety disorder and it's really hard at times, it interferes with you trying to lead a normal life.
I am 47 but I am so sorry it's struck you at such a young age.
Big Hug

Thank you:-) Anxiety does inteferes a lot but I try not to let it control my life but it does suck when an attack comes out of nowhere
I know what you mean and it took me awhile as well because I didn’t always have the suport and its still the fact that they wont always understand because they don’t have to go through still to this day its very hard and overwhelming especially the lack of sleep and at times I literally find myself crying because I feel as if there is no relief and wondering what caused this but I try to stay positive about it even though its hard to do because thats what gets me thru the days and I will definitely look into getting a psychologist I thank you for the advice I really appreciate it but I try to tell myself that im an overcomer because everybody couldn’t deal with what we go thru on a daily basis we have no choice but to be strong thank you again big hugs and ill probably be taking you up on that offer norma
Thank you. You take care of yourself as well
Awww I’m sorry you have to go through this. Im 24 and it’s life Changing and one of the hardest things I’ve even been put through. I see we have a lot in common. Id love to chat more and add u as a friend. I could use someone my age to talk to.
Gentle hugs

Thank you lovett it reallu does help to talk about it im just getting to that stage I can talk about it I’ve always been that person to try and hold thing s in when it came down to this and everything yoy said is true its harder and it hurts sometime that ppl honestly believe that its in our head but who would want this thats why we have to be strong im so glad its a goup like this because it connects us with ppl that understands and can relate to each other hugs Norma
