Hi everyone,
Iv just joined this forum as I feel I need some support with possible anxiety. The reason I say possible is that I'm a bit lost as to what is going on with me.
This all began a couple of months ago. Ill explain a bit of background. I have a one year old daughter and a 3 and a half year old daughter. The one year old suffered very bad reflux and dairy intolerance over the past year and I have been under tremendous pressure and stress continuously. She screamed non stop for the first 7 months as doctors would not take it seriously. I slept on average about 3 hours a night. Eventually she was referred to a specialist who medicated her, and since then she has improved. However, for some reason, I have completely lost it....or so it feels. I feel constantly on edge, I worry all day every day for the past 2 months. What I worry about is that there is something awful wrong with my brain, or that I am going mad. I feel like even the simple tasks in life just add too much stress to my already stressed out mind....so I find myself sitting go ogling symtoms and panicking. I have suffered migraine auras all through my pregnancy and then again more recently 2 weeks ago. The doctor thinks this is related to stress and lack of sleep.
I have a lurching, churning type feel constantly in my stomach and an almost throbbing feeling in the middle of my throat. No matter how hard I try I just can't calm myself down or stop worrying that I have some awful illness (like a brain tumour). Is this really anxiety? The doctor has prescribed me beta blockers however I am uncomfortable with taking them. Any suggestions on what I can do to stop this? Xx
