Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Hello all. I am new to the anxiety group and I'm really glad to be here with you all. Two months after I had my son, I started have some scary health issues. I believe that I have always had worry and anxiety, but after these health issues it was in full force! I had my first panic attack and ended up in the ER thinking I was having a heart attack.
I went to so many doctors and so many tests - all with normal results. Not one doctor could medically diagnose me with anything! I started researching and discovered breast implant illness. Thousands of women who have/had complained of the same things. I went immedialtly to a cosmetic surgeon and had them taken out. Admittedly, I am getting better each month, but my anxiety still gets the best of my mind and I have to talk myself down so to speak.
It gets exhausting to have my thoughts consumed with all the worst case scenerios, even after I am getting better. I will say that the negative thoughts come back when I feel the symptoms again.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.

Best wishes as you find your better balance.
You didn't say how long ago you had your son. Don't accuse me of experting, but I do believe pregnancy and parenthood are very common anxiety disorder triggers. It is a HUGE shock to any lifestyle.
However long ago that was, a save place to share and sort the weirds of anxiety disorder can be a tremendous help. You are not alone. Healing happens. I hope it happens to you.
Welcome aboard. . . Listening. . .
I'm very grateful to not be alone and I pray for healing daily for me and all who suffer.
Thank you so much
The off switch for those hormonal cocktails is nowhere near as automated as the on switch which runs on pure, unthinking reflex.
Those unknown ailments during pregnancy are an understandable trigger. Now to find the anxiety off switch a year later. . . Those pesky details. . .
Vent freely. Vent often, Joana. Your answers are in there.
Still listening. . .
