Daily anxiety attacks

[Sadchesire]

Frustrating, infuriating, sad, tired, scared, pain, embarrassment, confused.

I have been struggling with new medical issues with my thyroid, anticipation for results on two biopsies for cancerous goiters on my thyroid. Infertility and now a stop to trying to wait for a game plan on this thyroid. Brain zaps on new medication propanol, fog and tiredness from depression and anxiety attacks daily. Constantly behind in my job, trying to keep up is the worse. Financially getting drained. I had a anxiety attack a few hours ago that was bad, I had to take several Xanax to just calm down and not run into traffic. This is so hard to try to function and concentrate on my job I have done for ten years, it breaks my heart to have my husband and son see me like this. Not strong or in control of my emotions.

I'm sorry you are having those issues. I suffer from a number of different anxiety issues so I understand. You're not alone.

Oh I'm sorry to hear of your battles and health anxiety is the worst especially with the things you are dealing with. You are in the right place for support to get you through this tough time. I had a multi nodular goiter and it's now gone since using iodised salt with my tea time meals. Hope you get some answers soon. Stay strong X

Thank you for your support, did your goiter go away?

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this! Have you mentioned this to your doctor? Xanax has addictive properties so please be careful with it. Sounds like a different medication would be a good avenue to pursue maybe. I had to change medication and I now only take Xanax when I absolutely need it. Effexor has helped me tremendously. I hope you find relief soon.

Thank you for your support, what is effexor and does it have side effects

[acsmith8213 in reply to Sadchesire]

Effexor is a medication that helps with anxiety. All medications have potential side effects. For instance, a lot of people do well on Wellbutrin but that medication gives me migraines so I can't take it. Each person is different. Honestly, I would've tried anything to feel better at the time. I also have been doing a lot of self care to help as well. It's a combination of medication and self care that's working for me.

I feel the exact same way, slightly different situation, but isn't everyone's. I have always been the strong one that cares care of every one and every thing, Now I can't even take care of myself. I am sick and vomit several times a time which triggers my PTSD and causes me to have panic attacks. I can't sleep and my body is exhausted. I lost my health insurance and after 3 years was discharged by my psychiatrist as I could no longer afford the office visit's. with no medication all of my symptoms are escalated. my family and friend do not understand and insist I get up and take care of things "get back to being myself" how can I when every time I move I throw up... its been months and the weight loss is killing me I am a shell of a person and I do not see any end to my situation in sight.
