Feeling overwhelmed

[Valentina98]

Hi everyone

I suffer with anxiety and depression. I was managing it quite well, but ever since my heart attack. I can feel myself going downhill. I can't stop crying and I just feel overwhelmed by all the information I've been given

That sounds like a lot to deal with. Its frustrating when we feel like we take 1 step or even a few steps forward then take like 10 steps back. I deal with something like that every day for almost a year now. When something as scary as a heart attack happens I'm sure that's hard to deal with in general but I'm sure all that medical information you get after is probably just a lot to take in when you're still trying to process having a heart attack.

I am so sorry to hear you are feeling so overwhelmed. It is very understandable with everything you are dealing with. I am a year post heart bypass and I still get severe bouts of anxiety, though it is not as bad and it does take time. Take it one day at a time, be kind to yourself. Have you been offered cardio rehab at all, since your heart attack? Sending positive thoughts and hugs to you x
