Mono need help

So true! Christy have you tried any relaxation apps like smiling minds? I have a friend that sweated by them

Hi Sunny girl, no I haven’t tried any relation apps. I’ve done meditation videos on YouTube but that’s about it. Thanks for putting that out there ! The thought about apps didn’t even cross my mind  

Just want to reassure Christy that the anxiety will pass over as the symptoms do, just wish it could all happen much quicker because I know you are so weary and tired and facing another day can seem like a mountain to climb.....praying God gives us strength in Jesus name to get through those feelings.

There's an app in the UK called Mind Shift which is supposed to be quite good for relaxation too Christy....haven't really used it much but maybe worth looking into - I know there are loads of them right enough.

Yep.  Absolutely. I remember having a moment at my parents this summer before I had been diagnosed and having the worst panic attack.  My husband took me outside and talked me down.  But I felt so disconnected to him and everything else.  It was the worst feeling ever.  

I totally get the adrenaline thing too.  If I'm not super weak or tired then I'm wired and shaky.  It's like my adrenals cannot get a grip! Wired or tired! 

Hang in there!  I think we have had a very similar path with this.   We have to beat it.  I know we will.  

Hi Lisa and Christy,

That feeling of anxiety and shakiness is horrible. Mine has only started to go away in the last three months( I was diagnosed in October 2016. It is very strange one day it just starts getting lighter and lighter, I thought I would never get over it and 10 months in it started getting lighter and one day it went away, the feeling is almost like having low blood sugar. I think it is the virus affecting the adrenals, ugh!

Hey Mono!  Yeah it's the weirdest feeling.  I had them lower my thyroid dosage which helped but it's like the fight or flight is constantly engaged.  I had my cortisol checked back in August when we didn't know what was wrong but it was normal (as was everything else.)   So far though it's pretty random when it hits.  

That's amazing that it goes away!  I'm used to feeling a bit wired- but without the actual energy to go burn it off it has no where to go and it's making me nutty.  

HI Craig, yea ever since I got off my anxiety medication it seems like everything has gotten worse. Even the fatigue. I convinced myself I was stuck like this forever. So your reassurance really has meant the world to me. Thank you so much 

Hey Christy,

Oh I do understand, and listen there is no problem whatsoever in taking medication for anxiety / depression, I know it has and still does help me in my life and do discuss with doctor if you feel it is something again worth thinking about just to get you through this time.

And thanks so much for your reassurance to me too, not been great myself recently and just hoping and believing next year will be a better year thanks to God's victory in our lives.

Craig

Thank you Craig !! And yes I know there isn’t anything wrong with taking those pills it’s just the adjument period was too hard on my body because I went on while I was still very sick with this virus. And then getting off was hell too. I went through a mini withdrawl and I’m still going through it. My nausea has intensified and nothing feels real. And no problem I truly do pray that 2018 is a better year for us ! ❤️

Thanks Christy, I really do hope next year can be a better one. Just need to take it one day at a time.

Craig

Hi Lisa , and yes me too. I remember in my first days of this virus I was cooking with a friend being silly and the next thing I knew i felt really dizzy and sick and my heart was racing. At the time I didn’t understand what was happening. It was just two 17 year old girls in aterrible  situation. And I Too felt very disconnected!!! IVE never felt normal since that day ! Adrenalin has been terrible for us haha 

Thank you Mono, so inspiring!!
