Health anxiety

This was me! It got so bad that the anxiety/panic attacks would cause me to throw up and be super nauseous. Have you tried any anxiety meds? Some may work for you! For me personally though, 🍃 has been the only thing that gets me through without the side effects of the other medications. I’m sorry you are experiencing this, it really is horrible. If you ever wanna talk I’m here ❤️

Have you gone to therapy for it. Mine used to be so bad. I would have nausea, upset stomach, heart palpitations, hot/cold flashes, shaking, arms going numb….. it was bad. Therapy though me some coping mechanisms that have helped. I also had Ativan. After having kids I had sever postpartum anxiety and went on a few different meds and feel a lot better. It’s super scary when you feel like you’re going to die and it makes it worse when you don’t have a support system.

I have anxiety and anxiety meds have helped but it’s a temporary fix as especially now it’s hard to get Ativan and similar meds for longer than a few months if you aren’t “grandfathered in” there are a lot of homeopathic remedies and herbs that help. I’ve recently started taking Dr. Bach’s flower formulas, you have to order most of them online but there are so many different varieties for specific types of anxiety and after being on western meds for a long time I have been shocked by how well homeopathic medicine has helped with pain, I can only suggest the flower essence as I’ve just started but I would try everything natural and therapy first, sometimes only western meds help and it you don’t have to take them forever. St. John’s wart is a tried and true herbal but if you take birth control check with your doctor first

Therapy. Years of therapy. I have some medical trauma from my past and have current underlying health conditions. Medication is helpful but can sometimes be a temporary fix. Therapy has been the most important part of me doing better.

@Catherine I went through this when Covid became a thing (unrelated to Covid but being cooped up prob did it) and it was sooo bad like I was crying 24/7 and in a state of psychosis. I had ended medicated, one of them was Ativan and then eventually I got prego and stopped it all. I’ve been “fine” since but all of a sudden it’s like impending doom is over me, I was also in therapy more than a decade. I think part of it is I don’t have a support system outside of that really.

@Haven weed used to be my go to fix to help me cope but now it makes me feel even worst so I stay away☹️
