Re: A total mess right now
not really... but I am somewhat confident that the medication I am taking is inducing this anxiety. My stomach is killing me... I honestly dont even know what I am afraid of right now... I just feel scared and shakey. Thank you for the good wishes... It helps to know there are people out there.
Re: A total mess right now

Have you got claire weekes book about panic? it really helps when panic sets in.

Re: A total mess right now
Health anxiety is horrible especially when you get into panic mode. It helps me if I try to keep occupied, doing anything that will distract me from focussing on my symptoms all of the time. If I focus on how I'm feeling then I notice every little sensation and then they become all I can think about and I get that sick panicky feeling. I hope this will soon pass for you.
It is our thoughts about what might be happening that keep the panicky feelings going. If we can stop the thoughts that feed the anxiety then we start to feel better. Easier said than done, I know, but well worth trying!

Re: A total mess right now
thank you everyone so much for your replies. Really... it helps SO much to know there are people out there who get it. So, the update is the doctor told me to stop taking the meds. I feel a lot less panicky, but now I am nervous that the infection will come back. He told me that it may, but that my body can fight it on its own!! Honestly, I feel like im the most annoying person. I am scared of the medication, but I am scared of not taking it. Do you guys ever feel that you drive doctors nuts?
