I posted a couple weeks ago about my anxiety hitting me in a bad way when I got a diagnosis of hypothyroidism. I've had two weeks of feeling low, panicky, and last night my heart palpitations were so bad that I didn't sleep at all. I made an appointment with my GP today and when I was in the middle of explaining some my fears, he said, 'Why do you worry? What's the worst that could happen?' I said, 'I could die.' (A bit melodramatic, but we all know how anxiety makes us obsess about worst case scenarios). His response - 'We all have to die sometime.' But to top it off, when I mentioned I worry about my husband's diabetes, he said, 'You'll get diabetes too if you keep worrying like this!'
How could he say that to me? Knowing I have major health anxiety already?
Long story short, he has decided to up my dose of Mirt. from 7.5 to 15 mgs. Hope this helps. I'm feeling so broken and low.
