In my support groups, I've found that we overwhelmingly suffer from depression and anxiety, even if these had not been issues before the development of the disease. This can be related to the disorder of our hormone function and other physical factors. Many of us have found it necessary to take antidepressants to help regulate these conditions. A good emotional support system, including family, online support groups, clinical therapists and/or friends are key. Life can be good but it takes effort and good support system to get there. Many of us talk about our "new normal" in which we've adjusted our expectations to match limitations we ultimately face.

Even under control people with addisons sometimes suffer from depression. Antidepressants and support groups help. Its really hard to find someone locally with it.

It's difficult. You'll probably be very upset after your diagnoises but everyone has the ability to be happy. Get on your right meds, good food, get outdoors and make it count

Addison's disease changes us the life we can no longer be the limit, or abusing of adrenaline, we have to bus ar. A tranquil lifestyle by relaxing identify everything that causes us stress, so always talk with our loved ones of our illness and what to do in case of a crisis
We went into mourning when we give the diagnosis, but with support and used to give us to our new style we can be happy

You can lead a normal life, depending on how it has been diagnosed with the disease, some carry a small "loading".... Especially if, through diagnosis and starting treatment has suffered a lot. Today, there are more information and I don't know it takes both in the diagnosis. The important thing of this disease is to know oneself, detect in time if the symptoms that you feel are indicators that we need more doses.
