First off I want to say WOW to this site.. It is a great place for us all and I appreciate the efforts of everyone that is keeping this up and running.
Ok so I named this thread my story because I feel compelled to share with everyone here. if it's a little long I'm sorry in advance.
I have always been a stress ball and I know this. Battling depression and anxiety pretty much all my life. I didn't realize that if left unchecked for an extended period of time it would start morphing into something bigger than I was prepared to deal with.
This year has been crazy. I uprooted myself from my home province to move. Once moved my partner and I decided to buy a condo and finally sold the condo for a house. Now this was in the timeframe of 2 years. That is a lot of moving and this house that we are in well it needs a lot of work so I don't even get to enjoy the benefits of having a house.
My relationship has been a battle for a while now and that is no surprise as almost all my past relationships were horrible including the physically abusive one I had when I was 18.
Now fighting with life, myself, my partner and now this house, something inside me broke. I gave up.
I started to worry ALL the time.. This time I was only worrying about myself. I would feel dizzy (still do from time to time) I couldn't breath and my chest started to hurt really bad.
I freaked out. I Googled every symptom I though I was having and we all know how well that goes over. You google a sore finger and it tells you that you have prostate cancer. Not a great idea for myself.
Feeling scared and panicky I went to the doctor that diagnosed everything I was going through was allergies.
Seems that my house was really old and all the Reno's we were doing stirred up all kinds of crap in the air. I always knew I had issues with dust <getting all stuffed up> but never this bad. I'm ALLERGIC!!!
So a simple allergy turned into lung cancer and brain tumors, diabetes and so on.
I still have days that I feel like I am just off. Where there must be something wrong with me even though my many trips to the doctor suggest otherwise. I feel your pain you guy I really do and I guess in ending I want to say that we are all in this together and we will all find our way out towards a happy health life.
