Debilitating

[Teggyherms]

I’m 31. I’ve had anxiety for as long as I can remember. Got diagnosed with GAD, Social Anxiety disorder, and Panic disorder when I was 15. On and off meds for years. I can go years before debilitating anxiety starts up again. Shortly after Xmas I started having a dream like state that I couldn’t snap out of. Googles symptoms and of course made things worse. As a mom, I didn’t want to be medicated again. I’m nursing my 1 1/2 year old still and isn’t a good sleeper. I finally went to a dr after symptoms escalated. He ran blood tests and put me on a low dosage of 5mg escitalopram. I’m weak, my legs feel like jelly, my calves twitch all the time, and I’m finding myself planted on the couch not wanting to do anything. I can’t sleep, can’t eat, I’m not being the mom that I should be. Dr called and said that my calcium was high. So I have to take more tests. I’m really scared that I have something seriously wrong with me. Google doesn’t help. Why did I even do that? Weak, twitching, constant flood of tingles, nighttime numbness, no interest in doing anything, health anxiety?, mom of 2, scared.

I’m sorry for you to feel this way and I hope you will find solution soon! ❤️

Your kids are going to be alright, you are already strong enough when you reached for help and you are doing something in order to be better for them. I also have high calcium levels and try not to google it because it always turns out to be the worst

Wish you all the luck
