Do not be afraid. You are stronger than you know. You already recognized it as your anxiety returning so don't let it take over. 😊

You have just defined my past 3 years. Im convinced I have a tumor in my stomach. I'm a very thin woman and I have looked pregnant for two years. I went to the emergency room and they said it was from my anxiety. My overall physical health has depleted severely in the past few years. My muscles are always tense and I forever have butterflies in my stomach. I get so anxious I vomit on a regular basis. I have been in therapy for 15 years on and off trying to get my anxiety under control. I have pretty much been in bed the past three years because my anxiety is wearing me out. I'm 30 and I have severe muscle pains in my neck shoulders and back. It is tough for me to get out of bed. I honestly think my muscles are still tense while I'm sleeping. I have given up on trying to get the medication I have been on for 15 years (klonopin) I moved to a different state 3 ysars ago and I can't seem to get a doctor to understand the pain and tourment I deal with everyday from my anxiety. All the doctors here seem to think everyone is going to abuse their pills. Well I am getting sicker by the day falling deeper into a depression and fear of the future. My life sucks this terribly now without my meds i worry how awful ill feel another 3years off klonopin.

Keep your head up and try to get some help
