So those of you who know me, and I've spoken to will know that my anxiety kicked off in August when my nan had a stroke infront of me!! It left me feeling extremely worried (as it would anyone I suppose)...but also for these 4 months I have felt constantly sick...wherever I go whatever I do, I feel sick!
Anyway, so my nan was in hospital 5 weeks and improved brilliantly and obviously we were all really happy........but my sickness continued regardless!...The past few months have been hard, but Ive seen psychiatric nurses....the GP and even a hypnotherapist, and although the anxiety remains, I do admit that in some circumstances I do feel a bit better.
However, on Tuesday, my nan fell over and broke her hip in 3 places...was rushed to hospital and had to have an operation (ok yeh...I know elderly people are vulnerable to this...but it completely came at the wrong time for her)...My mom was with her all day, and they were assured the fall wasnt anything to do with the stroke, she had literally just slipped over. So convinced by this, I went to see her last night in hospital with my mom....and what happened when we got there.....she had another stroke! Its got to be one of the scariest experiences of my life...I went faint, really hot and had to step out the room at one point.
So now....as well as being petrified about my nan being ok....I'm worried this anxiety is coming back full swing! I'm trying not to worry, but the images just keep playing over in my mind and I can't help it =(
Anyway so sorry for the really long ramble...but theres no1 in the chat room and I've got nowhere else to express everything!
Thanks
