PS., Regarding me I have coronary heart disease and now type two diabetes
less important but nevertheless painful... arthritis and problems with acid re-flux.
I reckon all mainly age related.

My mental health diagnosis is chronic anxiety
and the associated 'reactive' as opposed to the more serious clinical depression.

Hi David
Where do I start
I have cardiac arythmia and takycardia
I have high blood pressure although I am not obese and am on medication
I need a knee replacement but prefer to work out in the pool at least once a week
My bone density as an older woman is an issue and I fracture
I am on antipsychotics
Antidepressants x2
Anti convulsants to stop temporal lobe fitting
I have had 2 surgeries on my fractured hand Aug 2016 Oct 2016 and one more scheduled for May 2017 in an attempt to regain my fine motor skills which prevent me from dress making for a bit of cash and playing the piano, my kids call me fat fingers and wrong notes.
I have osteoarthritis
I have major depressive disorder with psychosis
Tempoal lobe epilespsy
But apart from that I love my life and take my meds and have smooth periods in between the storms.
I will say having a lovely gentleman who takes me out and treats me like his princess makes putting up with all these physical issues a breeze.
I also think the unconditional love of my 2 little house mates a cat and dog give me all the love that I need.
I have also been blessed with 3 beautiful children and 2 delightful grand daughters who love me to bits just the way I am...little children see with their heart not a DSM category.
Cheers

Hi Sue
You certainly have had a catalogue of of psychical ailments
that have blighted your very existence over time.
However, it is good to note you are upbeat in the sense you
concluding your last post with
"I also think the unconditional love of my 2 little house mates a cat and dog give me all the love that I need.
I have also been blessed with 3 beautiful children and 2 delightful grand daughters who love me to bits just the way I am...little children see with their heart not a DSM category."
I find that most reassuring as to postive thought and by definition as to were you are currently 'psychology' speaking,
well being wise, David x
