hi everyone hope you all had a reasonable Christmas I suffer badly with health anxiety and bad depression and since august my anxiety is really trying me and for the last week is kind of winning my husband is really Ill I don’t mean flu I mean diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis stomach ulcers and a hiatus hernia he’s in dreadful pain he can hardly eat feels sick when he eats losing weight rapidly and his go or the hospital don’t seem to be doing anything for him no medication no nothing he cry’s in pain and it’s heartbreaking to see everyday I just try to be. Strong for him as he needs me right now and I am doing just that but not gonna lie my anxiety is through the roof I’m trying not to show it but ya know good old anxieties they don’t hide very good .. and the fact he says he knows something is wrong is heartbreaking to say the least.. now the drs reckon he has a blocked aorta that’s what’s causing the pain surely he should get looked at asap
Happy new year to you all I do hope 2023 will give us all a break

hi agora lovely to hear from you I think I need to do some time for mindfulness 🧘♀️ your so right I think I’m making myself worse as I’m constantly watching him and I’m always checking he’s breathing when he’s asleep it’s horrible to watch your strong husband lose so much weight and in constant pain he’s the strongest man I know but just wish I could take the pain away for him … thankyou and happy 2023 to you and your family xx
I also have hiatus hernia. It's no fun as you know. Does he have the burning sensation into his chest as well? Mine goes from the stomach up thru my throat. Sometimes feels like someone lighting a match to it. Heartburn too.Don't forget to take care of yourself. Take time out in your day to meditate or just have quiet time to calm yourself down a bit. Prayers for both you and your hubby.🤍
yeah he has the burning everyday he’s getting to a point now where he can’t eat a lot as he feels sick I feel so useless as I can’t help him ease the pain xx
That does suck. Prayers to you both. What really is bad is there's really not a whole lot that can be done. Is he taking any heartburn medication? What have they given him?
Sorry to hear about your husband and yours situation, kind of a crappy way to start the new year. I had hiatal hernia for a while and found I was producing too little stomach acid and started taking HCL and also digestive enzymes and it helped me heal.
What you are going through is very difficult and brings up a lot of normal fear so try to let yourself feel it and be kind to yourself. Sometimes the anxiety can be increased from not allowing your feelings.
thankyou so much for your reply I can see the pain he’s in he’s afraid of eating because it hurts him so bad he’s losing weight rapidly but I know I’m holding too much in but I feel selfish to let it out when it’s him suffering so much
Hi Natsteveo. I just want to wish you and your husband well. I am sorry you are both having a difficult time, but I know you can get through it and stay strong at the same time. You both have already. xx
