Struggling

[Sal888]

I have severe GAD which I’m seeing mental health for, I was just at the end of tapering of meds’ when I had bloods taken and it came back I had an overactive thyroid, I’ve had anxiety most of my life and just officially diagnosed with a disorder two years ago. I feel really terrible my anxiety is sky high, I keep thinking there’s something wrong with my heart it feels like it’s literally going to burst out of my neck, I’m shaking constantly and have horrendous nausea which has confined me to the sofa and I’m scared to move. I just can’t bare to feel like this a minute longer and to top it of nobody seems to understand at all which makes me feel worse

I understand.i promise you.i am confined to my sofa a lot of the time too.you are definitely not alone with how you are feeling.anxiety is cruel and takes everything from you when it becomes overwhelming.

If you ever want to chat just message me.

I have heard first hand how sensitive a thyroid can be.

Maybe get a second opinion?? I know from people I know have had terrible experiences from someone who didn’t know how to properly adjust your thyroid.

The racing heart is a prime example of experiences I have heard.

Yes thyroid is definitely playing a part, mixing that with already existing anxiety issues is just making it 10 times worse it’s awful

I understand. Im so sorry you're feeling this way. I'm the same.

Thank you for your reply I’m just lying on the sofa slowly losing the will. It’s sheer hell I just can’t cope with it.

You are not alone although you feel like it right now.we have all had that despair in the past or even now .you can take back control of your life seek support from friends and family speak to them about your worries .have a good cry and let that pent up tension out you will feel better for it.

I understand how you’re feeling I really do, got the nausea and been gagging amongst other symptoms with my anxiety, lying in bed

At the moment because I’m so tired and having trouble sleeping as well. Sometimes I’ve wondered if it’s just me but reading these posts I know it isn’t ☹️ X
