Feeling sad

[Kevin160]

Lately after my anxiety stared improving , it started being replaced with sadness and anger , i over analyze behaviors of people as hurtful or negative and i act on impulses quickly without thinking sometimes

Im always sad which i think is due to the triggers i get throughout the day , im not panicking about this not even worrying, but i just cant escape the thought that im unhealthy , my heakth anxiety is really high , i would get a small wound or cut and would worry about infections ir some bullshit i see on tv or read about , and it goes on for so many things , also because of vision problems and ringing in my ear

Im worried about high cholesterol because i read it increases with anxiety , and causes cold hands and feet , i worry about alot of stuff like that eventhough im 18 ..im just unhappy with the fact that i get tired if i walk up some stairs and alot of things like that that remind me im unhealthy ..

It's great that your anxiety is improving. Perhaps the sadness and anger was there all along but the anxiety over rode that. I used to be overly sensitive to people. Frankly, I only stopped being so sensitive once I got some life experiences and age to me and I felt more confident as a result. Then, other people's comments didn't hurt quite as much. As long as the doctor is not finding any health issues such as high cholesterol, etc., it may be that you still have some anxiety. I get cold hands and feet every time my anxiety flares up. You described yourself as unhealthy. Are you really or is it the health anxiety? As for being tired, my depression makes me feel tired.

Im a skinny person , and i dont smoke , my problem Is that i get tired soo soo easily and i barely exercise , my anxiety was sooo severe this year as well and started getting bad symptoms due to it so im convinced im unhealthy and i got a few blood tests and x rays this year but i wanted to go to a cardiologist because i was worried about my heart health after months of panic attacks, but no one takes me seriously

[mtnee in reply to Kevin160]

My heart rate goes up to 130 for days sometimes when I have anxiety. Even if you don't go to a cardiologist, your GP can order tests. Just to relieve your mind, maybe get a second opinion and try to get the tests done. Exercise is a trigger for anxiety for some people. There were a few years I couldn't exercise because of it. Still, just trying to do a daily routine would be great progress. And there's always the feeling of accomplishment from it. Good luck!!

Thank you so so much for your feedback, throughout the summer i had a few health issues, such as a respiratory infection , sinus infection, i had a weak blood vessel in my nose which caused severe constant bleeding so i got it cauterized, got s rays , blood tests because my stomach was acting up as well, my iron levels in the blood were high which was weird but i guess with my crappy eating habits its expected , and my vitamin d was low , but everything else was good i guess but doctors dont listen to patients which suck , nevertheless again thanks alot for your help

Hi Kevin,

You've come to the right place. We care & can relate.

Keep us on speed dial. Also, remember prayer is powerful

And GOD is never too busy .

I'm a great-grandmother to an 18 yr old & suspect she feels

anxious at times. I'm almost 80 yrs old & have experienced

anxiety/depression since i was 9 yrs old (health issues now)

But life is still a gift & it won't always be so stressful trust me.

(((Hugs)))

Awh thank you so much you are so kind , i had a really difficult life growing up, mom’s cancer diagnosis, my Parents divorced, my dad was an alcoholic and abusive , struggled with bullying and never really knew what stress and anxiety were but i always had weird symptoms, like always nauseous and had always trouble breathing well , and stuff like that

But last year eveything took a bad turn but im finding my way back

God bless you and your granddaughter, thank you for everything

[newbie1956 in reply to Kevin160]

You are so welcome Kevin.

We certainly can find happiness & peace when we find our way back. It's a journey but looking back at our childhood is a mature thing to do because there are "lessons" to be learned.

By the way, if my only daughter had been a boy i planned to use the name Kevin <3

PS

The name Kevin means Handsome, and is of Irish origin.

Hopefully your improvement continues. Keep posting here, this place is wonderful. Having friends and supporters make a big difference, even if it is just virtual. Look into good diet as well. More and more data is showing that switching to a good healthy diet can alleviate a lot of ailments. I am not implying to get rid of your meds if you have any, but just suggesting that certain food can really boost our health and can add to the plus side. Hope you feel better.

Thank you so much for your suggestion i definitely need to improve my diet its very iron heavy based, which is bad because my iron levels are boarder high or a little over , and im used to being a heavy carnivore i guess , but i need to start introducing more healthy foods ..

Im not on any meds though because i only had counseling in the past but as of new i didnt get therapy
