Pseudodementia: I would have treated depression/anxiety earlier if I had known this existed.

30F, currently unmedicated

I have experienced anxiety and depressive episodes since I was a kid. My family just kind of ignored it or thought I was moody. Turns out it’s best to get treatment for mental illness early. After 15 or so episodes and lifelong anxiety, I am experiencing the WORST time of my life. Anxiety, plus sleep anxiety, insomnia, depression, pounding heart, constant thirst, emotional dysregulation. My brain is just exhausted.

Has anyone been able to get through it? HOW???
