Hi everyone and happy new year!
Ha ha, well i'm back on my slippery slope down again and if i'm honest it's been creeping up on me for a while but the christmas/new year period has just got me going and all over a silly blood test that I had done which came back dodgy and after having it re-taken it was fine, but in the space of 10 days I have managed to go from a reasonably sane mother of three children to a complete and utter mess.
Does anyone else ever get the feeling that I am shaking all over inside, my arms, legs and tummy feel like they are shaking it is a symptom I have had on previous anxious episodes but you tend to need reminding that it happens with the anxiety as I try to convince myself there is more to it than being in a nervous state! I desperately need some reassurance that I am not totally mad. I was fine until Tuesday when I had my further blood test didn't sleep Tuesday night through worrying about the results, which the doctor had said was nothing to worry about, but I didn't believe them! Felt shaky then and Wednesday morning was awful, doctor telephoned me at lunch time and said everything normal stop panicking - ha-ha not me, if only it was that easy! But I guess I have got myself in such a state that I am still shaking and getting worse by the hour, feeling sweaty and tense. Trouble was lying awake Tuesday night I was thinking all sorts of things and I have hurt my thumb before christmas which has caused ligament damage, which is making my arm ache anyway, but now with the trembling shaky feelings I was convincing myself in the small hours that I had so many things, my nan had Parkinson's disease and that was one of the few things I was self diagnosing with, and the list just goes on and on!
I just don't understand how you get here so quick, and yet I have been here so many times before, you think we'd learn how to stop it wouldn't you.
Please read and let me know that I'm not alone and it will settle down again, my tummy and arms and legs feel like just awful shaky and weak.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
