> Am I the only messed up person on babble I knew I was the worst off hiding in the house and it's nice out . And I can't do a thing but sit here. I'm a sick person is it lymes, thryoid, my mind or something else? I've seen so many specialists. Is there nothing else to to? Love Phillipa the wierdest person on babble and the sickest I think.
I think you are just in a bad place, or a uncomfortable moment, Phillipa. You post a lot of care and compassion to others. Don't turn your negative thoughts into a permanent reality. Count the things that are positive about you. My psychiatrist forced me to do that the other session.
You may have a thyroid condition, you have mentioned that, it can cause depression certainly, but there are a variety of medications that can regulate it and I believe you have or are seeing a specialist about it.
As for Lyme, I insisted on a test for it (I do hike or at least used to a lot and have been bitten by ticks, though most Lyme Disease is concentrated in the New England area), for what its worth, if your titer is negative [that must be done first], you don't have Lyme disease. Only positive titers continue on to Western Blot, and a positive titer should really be tested again for a false positive.West Nile is a (unfortunately) more common vector, at least with mosquitoes, in parts of the country. However most people never even develop symptoms.
Make yourself write a list of everything positive about yourself and what you have done and read it aloud.-- tidings
