Q: mixture of Depression, Viral Arthritis, Muscle weakness and not feeling all there

I have been diagnosed with Viral Arthritis and have been suffering with it for 6 months, lately I have been suffering weakness down my leftside of whole body, I am trying to remain stress free but I am a single mum of not quiet 12 months, I suffer depression since '07, i just have a unsatified attitude towards life, my head feels empty, finding it hard with this weakness with my work and at home. I am seeing a psychologist to try and help, but at this stage it does not seem to be helping...what else can i do, I wake up of a morning thinking that I should be dead, but once I see my t almost teenage kids and I say I would be so lost without them. What else can i do, I want to drop this attitude and get out and enjoy life, I am so tired all the time, cant even manage to do a stitch of housework therough the week and struggle of a weekend...I m open to any ideas

Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.

 

I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time right now. I have been a single mother in the past and no how difficult it can be. It is exhausting by itself and to add in not feeling well would make it that much more difficult.

 

I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice. I am also not familiar with Viral Arthiritis.

I am sorry I could not be of more help.
