Though I’ve a long history of depression I’ve never until now been plagued with anxiety…I’m finding it very unpleasant. I learned this week that in the near future the kitchen and bathroom of my rented flat are to be completely refurbished, which will mean total disruption of my quiet life. At 80 years old and living alone I just dread the whole idea so much and feel so worried. Awful. I was doing ok on Sinemet and expected I would feel worse as PD progresses but I didnt bargain for feeling so unbearably tense. Have others experienced this ?
Good evening Carlotta … I am 70 years old, live alone, have Parkinson’s, have had Prostate cancer & have trouble walking. I also take Sinemet. I too find that small things can get me down that really shouldn’t. Like doing my tax return or dealing with my second Parking fine.
I’m not sure whether it is the medication I take or just coping with the things life insists I deal with.
If I was you I’d look on the positives of getting a brand new kitchen & bathroom. This is exciting & once it is done you will enjoy the benefits.
Best wishes
