Had my psychiatrist appointment yesterday which was ok, strange thing is, that when seeing the psychiatrist I cry my eyes out, but since having my op back in may I Havnt cried, like my body blocks it out. Today, I Havnt felt anxious which is great, been able to walk without feeling dizzy, feel like I can breathe properly too, Yea my throat still feels a bit wierd but I can handle that. Great feeling. I will beat this!
Well done it does get better I think because we feel so bad you want something that would work straight away unfortunately S or any other. AD doesn't work like that
Regards
Congratulations!! Love to read a positive message, you will beat this. Hope all is still on the up for you 😀
Yea still feeling better than I have done in a long time, thank you. How are you?
That's really good news, it's so refreshing to see a positive post!
I'm struggling, to be honest, I've been suffering with anxiety after an op in march and I'm not sure whether to start taking sertraline or not. Just feel like I'm losing my mind.
I'm just fed up with the headaches, nausea, dizziness and what can only be described as a head for...yuk!
I will get there in sure 😀
I've been struggling since my op in may, that's what brought my health anxiety on. It has been very hard, been to doctors and hospital so many times since having my op that I feel I'm being a nuisance/burden. Hoping seeing a psychiatrist will help. Are you getting help? Because of my health anxiety, taking tablets isn't for me as I freak out with the side effects plus I think all they do is mask the problem rather than solving it, does work for some people though
Snap, the op was the reason for my health anxiety. All I had was a minor wrist op, as had fallen of my horse and broke it. I had to be given ketamin to reset before the op and that is what has triggered this.
Now the slightest headache and I think it is a tumour, had a nightmare last night about going mad and now I actually think I will, my emotions are all over the place and just need to regain control.
I have a CBT sessions and try to practice mindfulness but easier said than done. Like you I fear the side effects of the drugs which is why I'm not taking them.
As I mentioned before it is brilliant you can see the light now and things are getting better for you, shows true character!
It does get better, I'm not over the anxiety yet, just feeling better, still have off days but it's a start having good days as before I was only remembering the bad. Do you have good/easier days?
I do have good days and that is why I've not taken the meds as it does sometimes feel I will get through it, but when the bad days happen it makes me wonder whether I need to take them just to get past the finish line.
Have you got supportive friends and family?
