At first, I was unsure I even wanted to get to the stage of knowing what mental health issue(s) I had, without it being an Official Diagnosis. I thought I would lose my sense of self and who I am.

After this morning, I'm beginning to feel okay with knowing that I, in reality, have cPTSD and GAD. I'm not sure I'm quite ready for it to be put on my NHS record just yet, but that can be done in the future if I want to. But for now, I'm okay with where I'm at.

Guys I feel really stupid rn but help me out: I just started playing with a metronome. How do I get rid of the panic state it puts me in? Is it normal or just my generalised anxiety? #music #musicians #musiciansofmastodon #anxiety #musicinstrument #PlayingMusic #musictip #musictips #metronome #GeneralisedAnxietyDisorder #mentalhealth #kalimba

1)I was going to go and watch the new John Wick by myself, but my bladder has other ideas. It’s been even worse since I was very ill the other week, even going to the shop ( less than 1 min from my door) is a gamble. I’m going between 3 and 6 times an hour.

I met with a Psychiatrist today to have an #ADHD and general #MentalHealth assessment done.

He insists that #GeneralisedAnxietyDisorder ( #GAD ) fits my symptoms, and prescribed me divalproex to compliment the SNRI I already take.

That I have GAD is not a surprise. The internet says that GAD and ADHD have similar symptoms. I am concerned because the Internet also says there is high comorbitity of ADHD and GAD.

Is anyone willing to share their experiences with divalproex and GAD?
