I have never gone to a psychiatrist and been properly assessed and labeled anything
I definitely have anxiety and social anxiety and have suffered from panic attacks (rarely now though).
I know my mood goes up and down quite a bit (noticeably).
I also have a lot of indicators of ADHD haha
So the answer is yes I do have issues… but I have no legit fancy labels

@WaryWitchWandering Would you say that your panic attacks have subsided due to the contributing factors of sobriety?

@Levenrack oh that for SURE enhanced all of my issues (the drinking)… I would get massive hangxiety, it would wake me in the middle of the night and stick around until later the next day and then I would start all over ha.
But, I had panic attacks even before I started drinking (in early adolescence and onward).

@WaryWitchWandering Same. And I know that.... I knew it was affecting my anxiety.
It definitely made everything worse, physically, but kept that train (abuse cycle) on moving.
Ok, serious talk for a minute.
When I stepped up the alcohol, I began seeking treatment for my anxiety and depression. I tried quite a lot of different meds that didn't work.Well duh, alcohol will do that. I had to start up with a new provider, cause the one I had, he decided to roam greener pastures.
But that was the best thing that could have happen for me. My new doc, asked me if I wanted to try a different approach and recommended Genesight. If interested, look it up.
It basically reads your DNA and recommends the best medication that matches your DNA. I tried the first one at the top. Which was the Pristiq. Once I started it and it was dialed in, I was able to concentrate on getting sober. It really worked.

@Gabber 90% of Gen Z gets diagnosed with that. It is over-diagnosed.
Kind of like how all middle aged people are labelled diabetic and all smokers with COPD.
The moment a child has trouble paying attention in some boring classroom, suddenly it is like, "Welp Mrs. Jenkins, your kid has Autism".

I'd be surprised if anyone here does not have mental health issues!

@GuidanceCounselor Man, why would you even think you had to put that on here? 🤨
