Feel Like I’m Dying

[toast122]

I am a 20 year old female and I feel like I’m dying. Everyday I wake up with a host of physical symptoms. Shortness of breath, itchiness, fatigue, brain fog, tingling extremeties, feeling cold, irregular period, stomach aches, severe bloating, acne, and fatigue (just to name a few). I am constantly so tired that I cannot muster up the energy to go on with my day. I can’t think clearly and everything feels like too much effort. I am constantly bloated. No matter what I eat, I will bloat to the point where I feel uncomfortable and look pregnant. I have tried eliminating foods from my diet (gluten and dairy) and haven’t had much success. I struggle with acne and it flares up really bad for no particular reason. I eat very healthy, drink lots of water and tried prescription creams but nothing helps. My break outs are mostly on the sides of my face and on my chin. My period is completely unpredictable and I often skip months. I have been tested for PCOS, thyroid dysfunction and these came back clear. I do however have slightly low iron and nodules on my thyroid. Sometimes I have days where my entire body starts to hurt as if there are electric shocks going through me. My skin feels like its on fire and is sensitive to the touch allover.

I’ve been having these symptoms for so long and no one can tell me what’s wrong. It is really impacting my life and I am growing very depressed. I am currently on Zoloft 50mg to manage anxiety/depression. I don’t know how much longer I can go on feeling this way.

I can relate to you completely!!! I have random pains and daily aches!!! But I have just realized they all started after I started Zoloft! It’s hard to function daily! I’ve been on Zoloft 3 months and it’s been months of pains! I’m going to see md soon!

I'm sorry you are going through so much pain and suffering. Please know that God sees you and knows your suffering. He will carry you through this difficult time if you let Him. I will pray for your healing and restoration.

I can utterly relate to you. I have much of the exact things you just listed going on with me and I am 17 years older than you. And my menstrual has become erratic as well. And I get itchiness too. I get bloated and gassy very often. I've tried to change up my diet a bit as well too. Not really as helpful as I've hoped. And I'm still trying to figure all of this out. It seems like anxiety basically evolves from one issue to the next and gets worse. And for me I'm more reluctant to taking meds. I have tried it once before but I quit. I do not want to have to take any meds. But alot of times I wonder if I'm making my situation worse by not taking meds. But theres has been many times where I've felt better and had good stretch of feeling ok and say that I dont need meds after all. It's a tough journey.

I'm on YouTube and I talk all about my anxiety and fears and what I've experienced so far. If you'd like check me out. My videos discuss much of what you just said. Wish you the best 😊

You really need medications.

Otherwise you will not get through all these issues.

At least for awhile.
