Thanks for the kind words Nora, but I really think you're wrong! I've built up strength to cope with my mental issues over the years, and yes it does break me from time to time - like now. I think a physical issue would be a whole different scenario, which is why I fear it so much. My partner has spent the day asking me what am I so scared of? I don't know.
I certainly wouldn't call myself a 'badass' anxiety warrior - failing anxiety warrior perhaps.
Yes I am still fighting I suppose, but I often feel like it's a losing battle. My partner today brought up how badly my behaviour (or anxiety and stressing) affects her and the children, plus my mother who I left in tears the night before after trying to gain reassurance from her.
I want to change of course, and I am on a waiting list for counselling with a local charity, but then things like yesterday happen, which becomes a huge setback, and I think to myself why bother trying to get mentally better? Pretty much everytime I've started making an effort in life something happens.
And
utrocket09, I presume you said 'odd' blood work? Well that's good to know.
I'm feeling a bit better today, although I went to the toilet earlier, and it was a normal stool, but it had shades of green. I can't remember eating anything of that colour in the past few days except for loads of green beans on Wednesday, but that would have passed my system by now.
