Hi Guys
Ive posted many irrational posts over the past few months thinking i have something serious or that i dont believe i am suffering anxiety!
Anyway ive had prob the worst week ever but im hoping now i realise it is anxiety and not all the other things ive managed to convince myself i have. My week started with a few hypoglycemic attacks with dizzyness and culminated in a sudden electric shock in my jaw which made my head jold very agressively. I honestly believed on Tuesday i had had a seizure and i was going to die the doc even came to see me at home i was in such a state. I have to say up to this point the docs have been useless putting me on mirtazapine which has had no effect and never explained anything to me.
I woke up wednesday and pulled myself together and thought enough is enough i need to find out whats happening so i googled!!!! i have to say on this occasion i was a bit more knowledgeable about what was happening to me but didnt understand. it seems i am suffering a rarer symptom of anxiety in that my hormones controlling my endocrine system (liver) are being released in different amounts causing me the foul taste in mouth sudden blood sugar loss, dizzyness etc. I have had all of this confirmed this morning by a psycologist who i have been seeing privately to help and i feel im ready to give anxiety the respect it needs and not think i cant be suffering from it.
Ive had a further attack since getting nhome this morning and instead of panic i sat relaxed and breathed controlled and it worked, i still had the taste and weakness as the hormones had been released but i didnt go into panic!
im seeing the doc this afternoon ref my meds and want to go on something that will help control these hormone problems (any suggestions?)
I just wanted to say that if anyone is reading this who is at their witts end like i was 3 days ago believing its not anxiety and you are going to die dont make a decision to find out whats happening read about your symptoms on this site and other sites about what anxiety can do to you and most important write a list of every symptom you have ever had and look at them you will see that there is no ilness around that can cause as many different symptoms as anxiety.
Im now starting the hard bit in getting better but i feel safe now and hopefully with some good meds, CBT, Yoga and the all important breathing exercises i can conquer this and be the husband and father i was 6 months ago.
