I was doing fine I am a spiritual person I read the Bible and pray a lot it helps me with my anxiety and depression. Health wise am not doing great waiting for my test results and see what the outcome is , am very worried lost about 15lb and am already petite every one is asking if am sick, and I hate that. When am alone I also googled these sickness and I eventually feel as if that’s what I have and it make me spiral out of control am not sure what to do.

Escitalopram I stopped for a while with exercise, meditation, healthy diet and vitamins to help with mood I was fine .I had to get a biopsy done and just waiting to get the appointment and results took almost a month my anxiety stared again finally got the results I was ok. Went to my doctor for blood work and results is not looking good need to get retested and the unknown is making me crazy.

Yes googling can be your worse friend too. It's nice to narrow it down. Ive had problems with my stomach. I've googled everything from stomach cancer to Crohn's. Which none of those I have. I have abdominal separation which can be healed by doing some exercises at home.

Am trying not ,but the unknown is driving my nuts. I will have to trust that god knows best and whatever it is he will take care of it

[Hidden in reply to Butterflyfish-2021]

Yeah I know what you mean about not trying to Google. It's hard when you want to know the answers. Trust the doctors too. They were put here for a reason also. I see you said you went off your meds. If you think it too much they can adjust your meds accordingly. I know being a person who prays daily will trust God to find the right doctor. You can always look for a new one if not satisfied with one.

I hate medical waits, or any kind of wait, like my boss saying, “I have a few important things to talk to you about. I’ve scheduled some time for next Monday.”

I try to remember that what is unknown to us is known for God. He is with us now and is also waiting for us up ahead.

God can be frustrating. Why won’t He fix it? But I have yet to encounter a problem that God wasn’t eager to join me in the middle of. I’ve never personally witnessed a miracle, but I have seen some very well-timed coincidences.

Thanks for words of encouragement ♥️I trust and believe he will guide me through whatever it maybe.

since you are spiritual try reading the book of Job, it helped me alot, he looses everything and goes through so many tribulations and at the end God gives him everything back ten fold, I also like Psalms

[Butterflyfish-2021 in reply to cocoyellow]

Psalm is my favorite but will definitely enjoy jobThanks.

i'll pray for you Butterflyfish 🙏i've been doing lots of praying. Why have you lost so much weight? It is because your anxiety doesn't let you eat? That's whats happening to me and am starting to gain weight again, I am also petite and lost 25lbs so I know how scary that can be. I had to bite into every food I can think of and found that chow mein and fried rice were somewhat edible, then i moved on to avocado tacos, and a little of chocolate smoothies. Maybe try to find a food that you can keep down. The more you go without eating the easier it becomes to skips meal on days end

[Butterflyfish-2021 in reply to cocoyellow]

It because of the depression and anxiety And the days am feeling good I tried to eat as much as i can. Am also having digestive issues so I will be seeing a gastrointestinal this month
