Hi all could do with some support today. Had a good day yesterday apart from not feeling 100 percent but woke up feeling really anxious at 5 and again at 7 and now have a splitting headache.i have health anxiety so am feeling really anxious about the headache aa my vision went blurry when i got up to get the panadol and ive had a few palpitations and have got myself into a bit of a state. I really wish I could just roll with it when I’m not well but I always get so anxious.

    Hi tamsin, how are you doing now?? it is super hard to roll with it and dont give yourself a hard time for finding it difficult. It is so so hard. I was in work yesterday, felt tearful and like I didn't belong....then had a shocker of a day...got my period this evening, but earlier I just broke my heart crying. Its just so hard sometimes....ive had blurry vision with anxiety aswell.....how many weeks are you on now?? xx

    Hi Lou Im nearly 9 weeks in total but 6 on 20. i am a bit better but its so up and down. Have a couple of ok days then i plummet again and anxiety and depression are back. I have IBS and that always triggers me plus have been getting aching legs so i have been worrying about that and the shortness of breath thing i get. Feels like one step forward and two back at the moment. I am still on the one low dose of lorazepam too. i had a terrible time around my period last week so that would be why you were tearful yesterday.I was exactly the same and it lasted for a few days before it started and after . We just have to take each day as it comes dont we and not beat ourselves up if its a bad one. This will go on for months xx
