Hello!

8 Comments

I suffer some effects of a few Strokes that I have had in recent years,
and these effects are compounded by a diagnosed severe permanent major Depressive Disorder
with Suicidality, etc..

I have attempted Suicide many times during the past dozen or so years,
always being very close to being successful.

I just receive the “Disability Age Pension” from Centrelink as my only very limited Income,
and I have hardly any “Personal Savings”, etc., at all.

I tend to worry quite a lot, especially about my Finances and my Health, etc.,
but this constant worry just does not help matters nor the Depression at all,
but only causes more extreme intense
Stress, Anxiety, Suicidal Thoughts, Nightmares and Panic Attacks, etc..

  • Have you made your GP aware of all of this? Do you see a Neurologist or other professional for check-ups for your stroke problems? If so you should be communicating with him/her. Some of this could be the side effects of medication you are taking and a change could make an amazing improvement.
    Or are not taking medication that you were perscribed?

  • Worrying about finances is really hard. Do you have someone that can help you plan your finances? It might help to talk to someone. And why not give Beyond Blue a call for some support? They are amazing. Good Luck, I hope you feel better soon.
