Hi I'm new need a hand to hold please

[Andypandy30]

very emotional last 3 days can't stop crying I'm finding it really hard to hold it together . This feeling happens every few weeks and when Iv had a good couple of weeks I find it really hard to cope with . Been diagnosed with depression and anxiety since feb when I had a thyroid crises which still won't stabilize I'm on sertraline 50 mg and beta blockers and thyroxine for thyroid . I know the thyroid problems can play havoc with emotions it's just so hard when I have s good couple of weeks then bam . I overanalyse why I'm feeling the way I do is it my thyroid or is it hormones or is it depression or anxiety I just know that I need a helping hand wen this happens and don't want to feel so alone is there anyone ther who can offer support and help me please x

I'm right with you. Sudden wooziness, tingling to face and arm with increase in heart rate.

Not positive if my symptoms are anxiety. Waiting on thyroid study and MRI (looking for spinal cord lesions).

Started beta blocker(for heart rate with episodes), Xanax and Lexapro.

Waiting impatiently for answers...

I need a hand to hold also 😥

[HeatherJones]

You are not alone, will be fine by proper medication and treatment. I am on taking anti anxiety over 2 years, Xanax works well for me.

Try to meet people and do exercise and meditation.

Hi,just wondering have you got your vitamin b12 checked,my daughter in laws hair started to fall out,and it was down to that,after 2 injections her energy levels rose and her hair stopped falling out,stress can also cause it.you dont say how long you have been on the sertraline,it can raise anxiety for the first few weeks,and cause a few side effects.mayby its not the drug for you..I personally couldn't take it,as it caused me to feel super anxious..and I can't eat either when i'm anxious my stomach just closes up..just try and sort all this out in your head..when symptoms started,when they got worse,write all down if you can,and read it over,then mayby you might be able to tell, what is actually making you so anxious..Idont want you to think I know it all,cause believe me theres days I would cry too,and feel like I can't go on,but it passes.and I get calmer for a few days,then i'm anxious again..its a vicious circle..mayby your GP would give you something to calm you down until the meds start to work..if not you could try rescue remedy or klams..let me know how your getting on..Thinking of you love Miarose xxxx

[Andypandy30 in reply to miarose]

Thank you so much if I have the courage to go to docs I will get b12 done I don't think Iv had it done before so thk u for advise I just don't know if it's phuysical or not that causes this Iv lost so much weight it's scaring me I will try to write everything down and try to work it out im such a mess at min thank you xx
