Hi,
This is the first time I've visited here in a LONG time and thought people might find comfort in my story.
Last April I had, what is obvious now, a complete physical and psychological breakdown. My symptoms were numerous, I had permanent headaches, full body tremors, stomach pains, perceived weaknesses, muscle twitching, buzzing sensations, electrical sensations in my head, lack of appetite, constipation, rapid weight loss, and these all happened at once and were acute over around a 6 month period.
Safe to say I was terrified, I thought I was dying and everyday the disease would change. All the good stuff like Brain Tumours, MND/ALS, CJD, all the Cancers etc.
I went to multiple doctors, A&Es, private neurologists basically the works and came away every time with no answer beyond anxiety, and every time it happened I was just so frustrated, worried and upset.
I started seeing a therapist around this time last year, I cannot put it in to words how much this helped me. He brilliantly was able to rationalise all my concerns and logically break them down. Got me to talk about things and it was incredible.
I know its really hard to believe, but anxiety really can and does cause EVERYTHING you can possibly think of. The body is complex piece and the brain has an incredible control over it, if you're worried about something then your body will react to it. Also, time is a great healer, it has been extremely helpful in my case.
I'm not sure if my post really has any purpose other than to, hopefully,
somewhat alleviate peoples current fears.
I was as low as you can get when it all went terrible, I mean I was having dark thoughts every day and my symptoms were just so pronounced. Now they are all gone....
Yours will go too.
