Hi?
Hi! My name is Kevin. I’m 54 and live in Iowa. I’m new here. I have suffered from mental health issues all my life. My main issues are medication resistant depression, anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, C-PTSD, autism, suicidal ideation, and chronic insomnia. I take various meds, but they don’t really work. I recently started spravato, and that has helped some, it seems to make my anxiety worse, and really has changed my personality. I go to therapy once a week. I have gone through several therapist and psychiatrist, it is hard to find the correct one for me. I am on disability but still work one day a week at a local hospital and volunteer at the humane society. It is especially hard for me to make friends due to my issues. I have done group therapy to help with this but doesn’t really help. Because of my childhood trauma I am not able to be around males, or have male doctors and therapist. I don’t have any friends, and not sure how to get a friend or even how to keep them. I have very low self esteem and don’t like myself very much. If you would like to try to be my friend give me a try. Thanks for reading my post.
