Ok, since starting with anxiety 2 yrs ago, I have gone from a size 8-10 weighing 8 & half stone (I am 5ft 1) to a size 12-14 weighing 10.11 (although weighted myself today & was 10.5) anyway, I have known I have needed to do something about my weight for a while & although I don't eat rubbish, I do very little excersise & whilst was at worse with anxiety, spent days just sat on sofa doing nothing all day. Anyway, have noticed my left knee swell up yesterday & my broken veins get a lot worse & my ankle was hurting a lot so just been to docs & I have inflamation of the veins & although he has given me cream & says unlikly to happen that they may get worse & if so go to A&E as could be a blood clot! I am so scared now, I think my anxiety will make me think its getting worse when it may not be & that if I do have it, ignore it I will die. I am so angry at myself for letting myself get bigger as he said I am at more risk of getting one being the size I am. I don't smoke & I do drink but if I do, its red wine & I only have one to two glasses a week, no more than that usually. I only ever drink water during the day but I am now so scared. I don't know what to do. :(
