Comorbidity - having two or more diagnoses.

It sucks.

Treatment for one can sometimes worsen the other(s), or interfere with the treatment(s) for the other(s) - and I'm not talking about pills per se, but more so about talk therapy. I'm sure pills also complicate things when you have comborbidity.

Treatment for DID seemed to help dissociation, but it made my PTSD symptoms worse for some reason. Constantly focusing on mental illnesses while negating my physiological illnesses (I have two diseases, two or more conditions, and a lot of other diagnosed physiological problems, also), makes it hard for me to cope with anything for a substantial amount of time to receive the benefits of coping. Now my physical health is waning while my mental health is somewhat okay, but the two interact in such a way that as my physical health wanes, my mental health inevitably follows.

It's a never-ending battle to maintain.

Anyone else struggle?
