Assaulted and robbed

[Daniel]

Until I see him I just don't know what to do.

Maybe see your GP tomorrow or ASAP? Even if it is just to talk.

The important thing is to not make things worse. Which may mean doing the opposite of what you feel.

Just doing little things may help get you in the right direction. Like taking your blood sugar.

Yes I could go and get more of my diabetic, PTSD, depression, and anxiety and panic disorder meds, right now I just can't. Because I really don't care about me or what happens to me. Even the meds given to me after the assault to bring my heart rate and panicking, and my head from racing. I feel physically and emotionally sick.

Personally, I have put my physical health on hold while more anxious than usual (even before COVID-19), and the result was a (relatively pleasant) mini-lecture from my doctor after looking at my bloodwork. I learned that I no longer have the luxury of putting my physical health on hold. And I am all for psych meds like SSRIs since they can also can help with inflammation in both the body and the brain:

Chronic Pain and Depression—Why Antidepressants Treat Both

Multiple studies reveal that even in the absence of depression, these antidepressants have efficacy in multiple chronic pain conditions irrespective of comorbid chronic clinical depression.

And at the chiropractor today, I was reminded that anxiety can make pain worse, including back pain.

My daughter-in-law has type 1 diabetes and bipolar disorder, and it is almost impossible to separate her mental health from her physical health. Before she got an insulin pump, stress could quickly lead to hospitalization for her diabetes.
