Had enough
Posted , 5 users are following.
so some of you may have read my previous threads. I've been suffering in and off from health anxiety since I was a little girl. I believe I've watched other people worry about my health so much that it's passed on to me, my mum was protective and I do not blame her for caring at all. So my health anxiety got bad about 2 months ago when Prozac seemed to stop working for me. My ex fiancé had broken up with me 4 months prior and my mum had been worrying about breast cancer over Xmas.. I was her only support.. She was CONVINCED she was dying.. Anyways docs said this could have triggered my anxiety again... I had many physical symptoms, nausea, weakness in arms and legs, visual problems, exhaustion, tingling in hands, weird sensations mainly in the head, every single feeling and pain set off a panic attacking... I was convinced I had a brain tumour despite docs telling me I was ok. Anyway a month ago they changed my meds from 40mg fluoxetine to 20mg fluoxetine and 15mg mirazapine!!!! I started to feel better.. Until... A week ago they've taken my fluoxetine down to 10mg as they are weening Mr off.... Iv been feeling bad again... Earlier I felt week and I'm convinced iv got mnd... Don't get me wrong I wasnt 109% better before but I feel I'm going bad again... How can they take me from 40mgfluoxirine to 15mg mirazapine and expect that to work. Anyway I'm thinking of asking just to go back on fluoxetine 40mg or do you think I shud just see how things go)? I really haven't felt well for a few months and I grnuinly believe I am dying of something xxxx

I tell my self it's just anxity the thoughts are fake they can not hurt us just take away our happiness member we control our own happiness. My last cbt tutor told me a great peice of advise
A brown table thought is equal to a thought that I have that I think I have an illness etc.. All carry the same Weight! It's our reaction thst sparks the adrenaline to make us feel scared and get stuck in a vicouis circle. It's about letting the thought in and paying it no attention qnd respect. Allow it to pass through you mind and smile then carry on. I'm trying to learn to do this my self and I have a severe anixtey disorder at the moment. But remember with anxitey alot is habits we build up qnd can all be reversed. Anxiety is just an emotion after all. I hope that makes you feel a little better about things. We can all get through this :-)

Try telling a diabetic not to be a diabetic and take away their insulin, see what happens.
its a disease.. its just a disease of the brain.
we just dont have the right amount of seritonin
trust me.. if it was as easy as thinking about all the good things in my life (and trust me, there are MANY) - i would never have to feel this way again.
i feel selfish, but its hard
