This is personal, I’m sorry mods. But I don’t know where else to turn.
I’m dealing with a lot of health issues at the moment. I’ve developed an eating disorder that I can’t seem to overcome on my own. It’s getting very bad. In specific, it’s ARFID, and a fear of any food I eat causing anaphylaxis.
This was likely brought on because I’ve entered perimenopause and my hormones have gone insane. And my stress has been high since last November because of family health issues (nonvaxxed). Constantly an anxious wreck.
So now I’m at a point where I need intervention. But that’s going to be medicine and I know it. I do not trust hormone pills - when I was on birth control it made me very suicidal. And I don’t trust anxiety medicine either, because…duh lol. Also don’t trust supplements and can’t afford the more trustworthy ones. I need vitamin C.
Frankly I don’t trust doctors, either. Especially with this bullshit second round of Covid.
Im also broke. Can’t afford any kind of treatment except if I were to be sent to the ER and be billed, then I just wouldn’t be able to pay it. I lost Medicaid last month because our Covid mandates ended.
What would you do?
I pray to God constantly about this but it just keeps getting worse.
healmehealme, you are in my prayers for a complete recovery. Look into a holistic doctor in your area and explain that you would need a payment plan. I am sure they will work with you. As for anxiety, I believe exercise, valarium root, and prayer and meditation work. Even if you just walk for 15 minutes the moment you wake up, I promise you will see a huge difference. (Personally, I hate exercise, but it helps with anxiety bigtime!) Try not to worry and enjoy your life! You will get through this! Besides, like Trump said, the best is yet to come!
