Hi guys,
I wanted to make this thread so people can talk about what they think caused their anxiety and to get some reassurance that what they are experiencing can all be signs of anxiety.
I thought id share my story and struggle first.
Basically my anxiety started around june last year when I started experiencing constant headaches dizziness and IBS symptoms when it first started I thought nothing of it but a few weeks passed and I began to think it was much more than something simple my mind wondered and I couldn't stop thinking that it was a brain tumour or something similar. Time went on and my symptoms wore off during the summer I notoced a lump in my testicles which started my anxiety off all over again I went to the hospital and it turned out I had epididymitis was given antibiotics and felt better. A couple of months later I started getting the symptoms again and was sent for an ultrasound of my testes it showed nothing sinister or to be worried about. I went to my doctor not much time later and mentioned I thought I had anxiety and was prescribed anti depresents I decided not to take them however.
Just recently I discovered a lump in my groin which I was very scared about I went to the doctor she felt it and said its probably nothing to worry about but ordered a ultrasound of my groin and testes just to double check on everything I am now waiting for this scan.
I think my anxiety was caused by an event that happened early last year when my partner took seriously ill with a brain abcess she had 2 seizures in front of me and at the age of 18 I think this seriously effected me she had emergency brain surgery and was in intensive care for a week and hospital for 3 weeks I think this was what caused my anxiety and was just wondering what people thought ?
Sorry for the long post and feel free to post your experiences and struggles
