I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression since I was 13 it seems like I’d be in actual pain while I was dealing with emotional stress people say I’m overacting or somethings really wrong and it’s tough not being able to control or explain it so I became a shut in for a while I was diagnosed last month at the age of 31 which is crazy because I actually had cysts pop in my younger years just for doctors to tell me it’s cramps causing radiating pain through my legs and back. They would say sometimes that happens and my cysts are benign it actually makes me feel more anxious because I’m surrounded by people who don’t understand. My therapist has actually helped me a lot I struggled a lot as a teenager with self medicating being clean and emotionally mature enough to understand that I need mental help explains some of what’s going on now
