Well some of you remember me from a few months back. Just wanted tp say that things are SLOWLY getting better.
AS it turns out, after going to the doc I learned that my thyroid levels were Dangerously low--enough to cause me to fall into a coma. Also, this level of hypothyroidism can cause dementia if it continues for too long.
This explains a lot of my really strange feelings. I mean, I still have ongoing anxiety and panic attacks but the deep sadness and fear were unbelievable. I have been on my thyroid meds, and have been doing much better depression wise. I think my thyroid was playing ALOT into my overall anxiety. Since then, I went back to work but as Lady Luck would have it, I am back unemployed and looking again for a job. Oddly enough, I have severe stress but am handling it much better. Of course, the OCD that I struggle with is still terrible and I do battle ongoing anxiety. It's like for some reason, I still get anxious a lot even though I know it's just anxiety.
i also found out that I am battling a systemic infection which I have had for some time and did not know. Right now, I am OK. I deal with a lot of health problems and generally feel rundown. I am going to be tested for cervical cancer. My overall health is poor but I am trying to get better.
I would advise all of you to get tested for thyroid imbalances. Seriously the doc said if I hadn't gone to get tested when I did, prompted by mom, I could've died. YES-thyroid probs CAN be that serious.
So anywhoo, I am moving along. Slow but steady. Hopefully I will land me a good job with GOOD benefits soon.
Still wish I could go about with NO anxiety. I still refuse to take meds for anxiety. I finally got a bottle of Klonazepam but have YET to use it. And I suffer SEVERE PANIC attacks and ongoing uneasiness with a HOST of physical symptoms that seem endless.
CHECK OUT THE LINDEN METHOD. THAT KIND OF HELPED ME.
WISH YOU ALL THE BEST
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
