I know autoinmune diseases are complex and exhausting to deal with and sometimes we wish we could go back to what things where. In my case I was depressed, unhappy and all the time trying to be someone I'm not. Wanted to achieve things quickly and didn't thought much trough them. Couldn't rest. Then severe burnout hitted and then this diagnosis. Is hard for me to think my life again, from scratch almost. Under any circumstance I want to go back yo who I was. I feel alone and uncertain, I'm affraid.

I was recently diagnosed and feel dizzy, depressed, paranoid, etc. I really wanted to stay at the hospital but my case is not severe as my vitals aren't compromised. How lomg did it took to feel better mentally and how did you dealt with that awful period?):

And the type: AP's, SSRI's etc

My last flare, the worst so far and the one that got me diagnosed was last year. I was in a miserable work enviroment, dealing with symptoms and with an awful and inmature mentality, I was exausted but I had to be social, had to work out, had to look put together always, had to people please, just had to be productive. Just pain and depression (anhedonia) which are my main symptoms, got me out of this exhausting cycle. Now I have to learn to live again.

I never developed the main symptoms like a goiter or TED, just shakiness, sweaty hands and foot, anxiety, DPDR and mood swings which I attributed to my CPTSD but as my labs always came fine (never tested my thyroid) I just went to therapy but something never clicked for me. Turns out I was really sick. I honestly don't know which ones will taper and which will stay

I was undiagnosed for 10 years so I'm mapping what to expect when it comes to me, not just my body.

I have hashimoto and I have been recently diagnosed after 10 years of misdiagnosis as psychiatric illness. My mom was tested and she has this too!

So many un unnecesary suffering we had to endure.

In México and latinoamerica thyroid diseases are very prevalent, specially in women. We as latinos looove group chats, is there one I can join?(:

We know this illness causes enormous effects on mental health but, lately my emotions feel out of control and an unability to process them, SPECIALLY guilt, which activa test anxiety and depression. Has anyone felt this? Does it grt better? I'm at the start of my treatment

Specially when the anxiety hits, what are the signs levels are off and or you should go to doc or even ER?

I have hashimoto's and possibly, another condition. Hypothyroidism and hashitoxicosis mess up your emotions. The mood swings, the anxiety and depression. It made me unnable to leave my house. But really if it didn't hitted me I would have kept being performative. Putting too much effort on being productive and relevant, on being the center of attention, on being "successful". In my depression I was able to see everything that I have tried to be was fake, was rooted in being desperate, being traumatized. This illness taught me to stop. To get rid of everything in my life I thought I wanted and revealed a profound emptiness. Now I have to build myself up again. I'm really scared of going back to who I was before and my old thinking patterns, but I trust that when I'm finally better, I won't. At least I hope so.

I know this causes anxiety and depression but sometimes feelings are too real and psychological. I was misdiagnosed with anxiety 10 years and recently startin g my treatment, not sure how to feel. Everyday is a chore just to get out of bed, not to mention actually going out which I'm not able to since 1 year ago.

Hey all. In the last days I myself and others on the sub have posted about the mental health aspect of this illness. The topic is serious and is not discusssed enough as we know, thyroid problems can take away our lives in many ways. This post is for the people feeling in a dark place rn. I'm recently diagnosed but I've h ad many many mental health problems over my 10 years undiagnosed. Right now I'm uncertain on what will change and what will not, and how long will this take. If you want you can share:

*How are you feeling

*The mental health impact hypo has/had and how are you feeling now

*If you where undiagnosed with mental illness

*What changed before and after treatment

*If you needed an extra help

*Resources that helped you.

This sub has been life saving for many of us. Please let's spread some light for us feeling bad and from those feeling great rn. Let's not minimize our suffering as we know even our health care professionals do. Thank's y'all.

I was choosing a dress for my best friend's birthday this sunday and I just thought of I want my dress to be the most unique and cool. I'm pathetic, this isn't even my birthay, ugh. How do you deal with this?

I have been suffering with hashimoto's and hypothyroidism untreated for 10 YEARS. I thought I was just lazy. My TSH is over 70. I feel anxious, can't sleep, I'm depressed and life has lost meaning to me. I have CPTSD. Today my doc asked for a biopsy of a nodule. Also, my rheumatologist found markers for yet another autoinmunne disease. I feel like I'm going crazy. Last year was a roller coaster of symptoms and changes. I stopped wanting and dreaming of things that didn't seem to go with me anymore, for good. So I don't want to just feel good again and go back to the patterns that sickened me. I'm scared of who I was, of what I'm and what will I become after this. I do not have the will rn to deal with all this. Do you recognize the feeling of extreme anxiety and stress intolerance? Have this bettered after treatment? I guess I just need to know I'm not crazy ):

Today I have an appointment with my rheumatologist because I have nail pitting in all of my nails. I'm affraid she will tell me my levels are OK (which I know aren't) and I'm shaking just to think the labs she will order or she will say i have LES )"": I'm about to escape the appointment

I have hashimoto and I'm in hyper phase and today is the first day of my period. I feel AWFUL. I'm extremely anxious, in pain, shaking and having trouble concentrating, I feel everything is about to spin. I feel dizzy and nauseous. I'm not in my city and don't hsve a doctor or hospital service. Should I wait it off until my appt next friday or go today to some GP? I'm bed bound. Is this normal on my period ir is it worth going to doctors ofice? My labs don't arrive til tomorrow tho

I don't know how to love. I feel the most egoistical person on earth. He is so genuine and generous and he is getting tired after 7 years. I feel miserable. I don't know Hot to get things around. I'm depressed and don't have energy to do thimgs for him. I have to let him go.

I'm starting my treatment slowly (2nd week) but some weeks I feel depressed and others I feel agitated, like manic (not full of energy just like If I had taken two red bulls or something) is awful. Please tell me someone also feels like this ): I know what is happening just some days I feel like I'm, aking this up and someone is gonna lock me up in a hospital
