Hello!
Honestly it could be both. But what I see here is that your anxiety is causing you to be worried and of course when you're worried you have a lot of negative feelings.
I know this is a very very hard time in your life right now. You WILL get through it. I guarantee you. Anxiety comes in waves. It comes. It goes.
But basically if you are getting really uncontrollably anxious to the point that you want to end your life, I would say to just take diazepam at least until the surgery is over. It won't give you withdrawals if you just take it for a few days.
Update me please. God Bless you on your journey. I will be here to talk.
I had surgery whilst going through anxiety about it. It felt fine and I think some of the anaesthetic actually helped in the days after the op. Try not to worry. You say you have changed your meds, what did they give you? The diazepam will help short term so don't be adraid to use them. That is not a big dose. If you are depressed and anxious you do feel awful but hopefully you have been given a med for this, it just takes time to work. Take one day at a time, even one hour.
it all started years ago when my son was nine months old an had cancer i had a breakdown i took fluoxetine n diazapam then an over come it.. this time it started in april whn i was bad an the hospital thought it was a stroke i developed the lump sensation in my throat an have struggled to eat... i broke my hand in two places after a fall ive gotta av surgery to put it right next week they carnt knock me out cus im allergic to the anastetic the week after im back in for the camera down my throat an two weeks after that im in for a nose op as i only breath through one nostril my health as took a bang im so scared of dyin i live for my kids they gave me the depo injection an its knocked me so low in my mood ive ad to start my anti ds again fluoxetine an build it bk up but nothing scares me more than the thoughts that run through my head that i shouldnt be here no more i av so much trapped emotions over havin to see my son suffer an undergo all 75 ops it breaks my heart inside 😢
What you are feeling, both physically and emotionally are common ailments when dealing with anxiety. Maybe it's time for a med dosage increase or time to switch to another medication. Are you seeing a therapist? Therapists really help you unload your problems and help get to the root of what's troubling you. The lump in your throats is normal but it's scary non the less. I know I freaked out when I first had that sensation as well. Best bet is to tell the doctor how you are feeling and he can make some adjustments to your meds. Remember, you are not dying. Life is very much worth living. Lots to look forward to. So don't let a problem with your meds screw up your progress.
im doin an anxiety course an av restarted my meds after two weeks of being off them i hope n prey n pick bk up thanku
