28y/o male, stable but stressful job (inpatient mental health nurse) with lots of protective factors mainly exercise and sport. I’ve had low lying depression for years and it runs in my family, following a breakdown at work I received some counselling and mirtazapine. 

The last year I have gone from perfectly healthy, other than well controlled fatigue based epilepsy, to multiple injuries (broken ankle, sprained thumbs, hyperextended knees) and an unexplained heart condition which is under investigation that hospitalised me for a week. I keep getting random chest pains, and feel like I’m Im wasting everyone’s time because the cause is unknown and there’s no biological markers for it. I haven’t been able to play my sport, I can’t exercise regularly and I feel like a failure unable to achieve my fitness goals, leading to me stress eating, loathing myself.

Im on a downward spiral, and I feel like I won’t be able to change anything until I know what’s going on, but the investigations will take some time. Does anyone have advice on how I should cope before then?

Thank you in advance
