Hi everyone:
I've been dealing with intrusive thoughts, symptomatic nervous ticks, sore throats and the feeling that something is wrong with me every day or something terrible can happen to me, and working in healthcare makes it worst as I deal with very sick people everyday. There was a point I became severely hypochondriac and went to every doctor out there and they all agreed that what was wrong with me is G. anxiety. I was prescribed wellbutrin by my family doctor but I wanted to try therapy first as I'm trying to get pregnant ( which makes my anxiety way worst and of course it doesnt help me to get pregnant)
Therapy definitely helped, but the terrors of my mind comes back at night when everyone is sleep.
Someone from work recommended this forum and I couldn't feel more relief that I'm not alone and all this crazy aches and stomachaches might be my mind playing tricks on me. I overloaded my head with so much stress plus the death of my very young ex husband. I felt I was going crazy, it's like something clicked in my brain and just decided to ruin my life. I was so full of life, I was the life of the party, now I'm just a very angry and sick lady ( I'm only 35) that just wait for the time to pass by.
But today was a good day, as one of the members here mentioned, just ignore your aches and do what your body doesnt want you to do, And I did. I went shopping, then dinner with my husband and I started to deep cleaning my house, something that my anxiety wasn't letting me do ( weird, because Im a clean freak)
This weekend I'm going away to Europe, that's something I didnt want to deal with because all of the sudden I became anxious of flying or being out of my comfort zone, and yet I booked that trip and I'm gonna keep ignoring this horrible feelings because I deserve better and I demand a better life
