So, I can safely say that the root of my anxiety can be attributed to several things. However, the one that I can directly point to now, is the fact that I didn't have a good stable job that I went to school for. I worked, but after just graduating college...working in a clothing store is not where I wanted to be. It took awhile, after living with my parents and A LOT of pushing, trying, and determination, I can proudly say that I found something and the offer is great. Literally, everything that Ive been wanting to happen for the last 8 months is happening! I should be over the moon thrilled, happier than ever, and whatnot. And I am happy, but I think I made a mistake in thinking that my health anxiety would just disappear. Well guess what..
It didn't.
If anything I feel a little worse now. Had a great morning, woke up still over the moon excited but as the day began to go on I started to feel that all too familiar ache. For me, my health anxiety comes in different forms and those symptoms will last for maybe a week or two and then something else will happen. Right now, its this vertigo that I can't seem to shake along with a hollowed out feeling in my chest and upper abdomen. Last week I had intense lower right belly pain that gave me nausea and bathroom problems. The last week it was something else. Also been feeling pretty fatigued and just generally uncomfortable. I feel unwell, and its starting to bother the h*ll out of me. I mean it always did, but now its REALLY bothering me because I was just hoping that this would be over and I could move on with my life. I can't let this bullsh*t rule me. I can't remember the last time I just felt "good". I know I may sound complain-y and ungrateful but I just can't shake these feelings.
Anyone else have experience with this?
