Hi everyone,
I have recently been diagnosed with burnout. This "burnout" gives me headaches, I am extremely tired, light and sound sensitive, pain in the neck and joints. All of that is somewhat manageable for me, or better put: I can accept them.
It also have given me anxiety and OCD. I have been through this all once before, seven years ago when our family was put through an extreme ordeal and now it is back.
Some parts of the day I feel almost "normal", I´m happy and feel confident that I will make it back real fast! And other parts I just feel hopeless. The anxiety just makes me feel like I´m going to loose my mind, I´m afraid I will become crazy and hurt someone! (I know, stupid.) But it´s killing me. I´m a happy person! I can´t understand why I feel this way! It´s saddening.
I have only been diagnosed with this for three weeks so it´s kind of new. I have just started therapy, but no meds. I´d rather not if I can avoid it due to many reasons.
Has anyone been in this situation? When will it get better? Is the damage permanent or will I be back to my normal self again? As I mentioned I had this seven years ago and I managed to get back, still with some anxiety but very, very manageable. It didn´t affect my everyday life. It´s breaking my heart to be back in this situation, and my husbands too. So I try and stay positive and push myself when I´m with him, and get my rest when I´m alone.
I will very much appreciate any answer because I´m kind of lonely in this..
