Being in denial!!!

[polly daydream]

Hi everyone, I have suffered anxiety for 2.5 years now, am hoping to get it sorted soon after finally admitting that I have a problem, have been in denial for too long!!! Was introduced to the site by a good friend, she knows who she is??

Hi Polly and Welcome -

Maybe this is your friend, but I'd refer you to a site under PTSD. A woman had a hysterectomy there and we talk about crawling anxiety afterwards. Has your doctor drawn blood and checked ALL the hormones secreted you potentially lost after the surgery? I know after my own hysterectomy w/ovarian removal before I was started on estrogen replacement I felt terribly anxious. Maybe your problems are of a different origination, I think it would be smart to start there tho since the correlation seems heavy and get it ruled out or confirmed.

As for denial? Well gosh I don't know I do it so well I find it rather hard to give up! I'm battling that too. Very nice people here.

Mary Rose your last post reminded me of something I might have posted and taken down in my fear/flight panic. My new therapist had me write down the names of 5 people in my life I most admire and why. I put it off, thinking it would be easy but when I got to the "why" part? I'd either write something so vapid I knew that wasn't it, or something that seemed to me so artificial maybe, that didn't seem to fit either. Anyway I wound up with a woman I worked closely about 2 years. I worked on a high risk L&D unit and we sure got our share of tragedies. When I was young I'd fight off the tears for my patients, thinking that's more professional but learned patients felt much better if they could see, I hurt too, I cared. It was no show, I did. But this woman I admired I think must have had the attitude that when tragic things happen? It's all part of the job maybe, or it just didn't touch her. We had many emergencies too where many of us would have to work as a team at the speed of lightning. Afterwards all of us would be physically shakey, nervous, but never her. I think it all rolled over her back and I so admired that in her, or at least I wanted to be emotionally dead like that at least for a day, try it out (?). As I wrote about her I realized she's emotionally dead. I don't think it's because of anything that happened to her either. We're all made in different ways, she came with few emotions it seemed and those she had weren't strong. I was having panic attacks back then and I'd just want to be her so bad, so I wouldn't have panic attacks. I tried once to tell her what they were like. Her comment spoken very calmly was - yes, she knew just what that was like. I didn't think so.

Hi Polly and welcome
I don't think any of us think we're gonna get anxiety, everyone says to me 'you're the last person.. etc but it can happen to anyone. this site is great and you'll find lots of support here.

Take care
