I’m in the middle of an emotional breakdown. I haven’t been properly medicated or had effective therapy in almost a year because of not having insurance. I had gotten a job last September and moved to a different state, so lost my state sponsored insurance, and wasn’t there long enough to get insurance. It took me until last month to find another job and I’ve moved to yet another state for it. This is all to say that I’ve been under a lot of stress, my anxiety high, and depression pretty bad since I lost my insurance. On Thursday my anxiety went higher than it has in years and has not come down. I have no support network. I’m not looking for advice. Just some kind words.

    You might try some herbs. I’m bipolar and supplement my meds with herbal stuff. Try 200 or so milligrams of ashwaganda extract, it helps my anxiety as good as some medicines. CBD also works really well for me, but I can’t take with my current meds so I don’t do that one any longer.
