Hi,i joined yesterday & introduced myself as Selinaclare,but didnt put anything about me,so i thought i would update a little.
My name is Selinaclare,although i get called sel or selina,either way im fine with that.I am 37,live in Plymouth,Devon & i am married,i have 3 children,2 of which live at home,i have 2 dogs & 3 cats.I have Systemic Lupus Erythematosis(SLE),rhuematoid arthritsis & double depression(Dysmithia & Ahedadonia).I also suffer with depression linked to my lupus.I am on a large amount of medications for both my lupus & depression,life is very hard for us as both my husband & i dont talk to either sides off our family,so the only support that we do have is just the 4 off us.My gp recommended this site as my mental health has started spiraling out of control as well as my lupus in flare.I say sorry alot which really winds my family up,but i cant help it.My Anxiety started when i fisrt got diagnosied with the lupus 16 years ago,but over the last 6,8 months its been horrendous.I have been hospitalised through panic attacks & lupus,im now finding it so hard to go out or do menial tasks.I am fighting the ESA to keep my sick benefits and i am attending my tribunal on the 20th feb.My youngest daughter has autism,and she is getting over her overdose and awaiting cbt.My cbt assesment is starting on the 7th of may.I think that might be a little too much infofor everyone to take in,but i thought ive got to start somewhere & start trying to trust again,and be honest and get it out there.Thankyou for taking the time to read this.xxx

Hi
I think you are so brave. Makes me feel a fraud for feeling so awful when I have no physical ailments and a supporting family and friends:)
