I know what you mean. I have been losing weight. Every time I weigh myself, panic sets in. Don't know what to tell you. Maybe someone else will help us out. 😁😁Ruby🌹

Hi apayette24, going back the last year of your posts, I noticed a pattern of worrying about memory loss as well as brain tumor. Apparently that is where your health anxiety is focused on. Also noticed that you ask if things are normal. What is normal for one person may not be for the other. Only the doctor would be able to assure you according to your health history. Having an overactive thyroid can certainly be the cause of losing weight and not that something foreboding is going on. The panic attacks coming back again are more of a sign that you must be under a lot of stress lately. Anxiety will make your head feel weird at times. (it does for me when stressed) All this is just a sign that you need to take control again of your life. There seems to be an imbalance somewhere that may be causing the symptoms. Make sure you see your doctor or therapist to discuss this before the panic attacks get out of control. My best.

apayett24, changes are hard for people who have anxiety. I think you will feel better when you do find a doctor you can relate to for your medical and emotional needs. You probably are feeling a little lost right now. Things should adjust soon for you. Wish you well. x

I just don't want to die I'm so scared that I'm sick and dying

apayett24, I can sense the fear in your writing. I don't know what your situation is, but you do need to find a doctor who can relieve your worry. It's got to be terrible living with this overwhelming fear everyday.

It's hard to go to the doctor bc I never leave my house

So you are agoraphobic? I was for over 5 years. It's a very lonely, sad existence. I was fortunate at the time that I found a doctor who was starting his practice and was willing to come to my home every few months. In between, he had his nurses come out weekly to check vitals. I also had lab work done in my home and surprisingly ultrasound and EKG as well. The problem with that is it made me more complacent and fed into my agoraphobia. But I truly understand what you are going through right now.

It's so scary I'm just so tired of this roller coaster ride if it's not this it's being hurt my other doctor thought my anxiety is bc of what has happened to me and I just want it to go away and be a peace and love my life already

Yes this happens to me all the time I feel like my brain stopped working. Drink lots of water and eat your kid off of it, I know it's hard but watch your favourite show or read a book
