Hello
I am new here and I was wondering if anyone has some advice with a fixation I seem to have developed.....I should say I have suffered with anxiety/depression for years..
Anyway 3 years ago in January I had my son via a c-section,a couple of days later i was sitting in bed (not depressed,stressed,anxious etc) when my tongue started to tingle and then went numb...called a nurse over,I wasn't panicked by it and explained what was happening...she suggested I may have bitten it (idiot) said I had not so she said a doctor would be asked to look at it.....
Slept for a couple of hours and when i woke it had returned to normal,doctor came round asked me to screw my face up (i don;t know why) said she did not know what caused it and went on her way after telling me not to worry (thanks hun)....
Anyway a couple of weeks ago I started feeling depressed,anxious and thought it would be a good idea to jump back on the lustral (some left in cabinet) had horrid side effects (still am,though not as bad)one of those effects (i'm assuming) was a pins and needles feelin in throat it soon passed but I found myself mentally back in that hospital bed the night my tongue went numb and since then I have become fixated as to why it happened at all and worse then that I am paranoid that any secound my tongue will go numb and I will die.....
I guess if there were a medical reason it happened that was explaine at the time I could put a lid on it but it was never really discovered why it happened....truly can say when it happened I was not anxious or anything.....was recovering from surgery etc so don't know if that holds any clues
Anyway did not bother me for three years but since my depression returned it has become an urgent question in my head and an irrational fear it will happen any secound now......
Any suggestion anyone.....
thanks for reading my rant
