Accumulated Frustration

[xKiYoMiNaTiONx]

I have so much accumulated frustration right now. I don't know what is anxiety and what isn't anymore.

I've been to the ER twice within a span of two weeks. Once for weakness in my right arm and tingles/spasms in my body. Was declared that my brain is fine and i'm no where near a stroke (a relief), and that what i'm experiencing must be from my anxiety. Second time was because I was trying to sleep and I got really bad head pressure and nausea. My anxiety flipped its switch, and I told my sister, "I think I need to go to the ER"... I probably shouldn't have needed to go (I spent over 4 hours there, and I barely got any sleep that day.)

My body vibrates from mid-back to my legs every so often, and it is mildly annoying when trying to sleep. (Will taking my new anxiety medicine help with this?) The tension headaches I get from my TMJ, as well as from just stress in general has been getting more severe... (I don't want to keep taking tylenol the rest of my life).

I think the worst thing is that I can't sleep naturally. If I don't take an aid before I try to sleep, I will never get any sleep. Will this change once I start taking my anxiety medicine? These are all questions I ask my psychiatrist, but I never get a clean answer, so my mind is always running around.

Doesn't help that I need a tooth extracted, but I'm afraid of the numbing that my anxiety gets really bad.

Any prayers to help me get through this week would be a blessing 🙏

I hear you, as I too went through the same issues as you. Right now you are in

a cycle of fear that begets more fear. Taking medication to break that cycle can

help you move forward. I agree with Honey_Ballet in that the root of your

anxiety must be addressed. A qualified therapist can help you decipher what

is anxiety and what might be physical.

As for having your tooth extracted, having the dentist use CARBO to anesthetize

the area can eliminate the fast heart rate and anxious feeings.

Prayers are sent your way but you need to believe that you can do this on your

own with our support. We've been there and understand the struggle right now.

It's going to be okay. You will get through this. Wishing you well with the dental

appointment. I care xx
