hi everyone I feel like it's always something new. I had a baby 10 months ago. some of u may know I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism after I had him. I recently had covid about 4ish weeks ago. I feel like I'm.back to square one with weakness. numbness. feeling faint. also today my hands have a blueish colour but I'm cold today so I don't know if that's the cause. I checked my oxygen and that's 99 most of the time. I am not taking any meds right now for anxiety because I felt the ones I was on were not working. the only thing I've been taking daily for about 4 months now is xanax and im just scared that this will damage my health. Im not sure what to do I will be making an appointment this week with my doctor because I missed my appointment at the hospital for my thyroid because of having covid. I'm just a friken mess and i don't know what to do. I feel my heart palpitating aswell on days and I'm scared I will pass out. this has been ongoing since i had my baby 😢😭

    Rachel I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’ve been having some issues with anxiety lately myself.

    make sure that you talk with your doctor about the Xanax because as you know, it can be addictive.

    when you get the palpitations, it’s a good idea to do the breathing exercises for panic. That’s what slows down the heart rate. The exercises can be found on YouTube. I just search for things like breathing for panic attack.

    anxiety is just a horrible thing to have. I just don’t enjoy life when I’m feeling even when I’m with loved ones. So I know how bad it can get. The only thing I can do is take one day at a time, try to calm down my mind as best I can.

    I hope you have a good visit with the doctor. ❤

      it's so so hard I've never had it so so bad u know. it all started even when I was pregnant and after having baby. I honestly am not gonna lie I've needed the xanax every single day and still do even after four months. and I'm just so scared it's gonna damage my health. like every day I feel dizziness off balance. numbness. u name it I have it. my mom said i might always have thyroid problems so it might be just that and need medication for it. I was already told (not by a doctor) but by one of those natoropath people and she's also a nutritionist that I have subclinical hypothyroidism. so i don't know what to do really.but honestly I'm just so sick of it all. every single day. I just want to feel normal. I just want to feel how I felt before becoming pregnant u know. my babies are my whole world but I can't can't enjoy being a mom 😭 . and that's the hardest part of it all not being able to enjoy mom life because of this dam illness xx
