Hello everyone.
My name is Deanna and I am new here.
Recently I have been having a lot of
problems and I a have been told I have
anxiety, I was told this by 2 different
Drs.
I've been such a mess.. always worried, I
kepe thinking there is something majorly
wrong with my health, I will think I have
some sort of Disease, I get the all clear
then on comes another.
right now my hands Keep spasming..
tingles.. pains.. my feet too, my legs
feel weak.. when i walk I have balance
issues, sometimes i feel like the ground
is slanted, so weird.
even little spasms and numbess feelings
around my lips.
I cry so much, I cant concentrate, I
confuse myself.
its just so horrible.
I never would have thought this all could
be anxiety,
as I said to the Dr today, i find it hard
to put mental and the physical together.
I've been sleeping on the couch because I
hate sleeping in my bed alone.
so the tv is sort of a comfort.
My dr today took his time with me
explaining things and he also booked me in
for an apointment with a councelor, wich
if he had of said that a few months ago I
would have said NO!
but all I want is to be normal and happy
again.
I hate this so much

Hi Deanna, I'm Crystal, I know exactly
what you are going thru. Isn't it odd we
don't take our emotional state seriously
till our body gets involved, LOL? All your
symptoms are classic anxiety, I think
everyone here has experienced them at some
time. I ignored my feelings of anxiety
till I started to get horrible muscle
tension which led to severe TMJ. NOW I am
dealing with anxiety! The counselor will
help you, I am sure. Don't worry you will
be happy again!

Thanks for your reply Crystal!
I might have TMJ myself, I am seeing a
specialist soon about it.
I did injure my jaw a few months ago, not
that it hurt but an xray showed
something.
now my jaw has been cracking alot.
I feel really odd again today, my hands
feel strange, its almost like thier not
appart of my body, typing feels weird, and
I have nausia and cramps in the stomach...
and just that horrid depression clowd
hanging over my head, I am trying not to
stress, I am constantly worrying about my
health thinking every little symtom is a
sign of some major disease rah rah. i am
trying not to give into it... so bad.
I cannot wait to start seeing the
specialist.
I staye dout all day and I went to my
cousins and I felt anxious, and I would
confuse myself with talking and my words
would come out weird, mmm its just so
unlike me, its frustrating.

Depression and anxiety (anxiety
sooo often comes out in hypochondria) are
the "ugly twins". I didnt even know I was
depressed, I just thought I was an anxious
hypochondriac. I thought I was so dark and
goth, hehe, big time Scorpio! Did your doc
say anything about medication? I have
started taking an anti-d. Sometimes the
illness is too much to handle on your own.
Stress makes it worse, its like a
catch-22. I guess a lot of anxious people
get TMJ. We tighten up so much. It was
thru treating the TMJ that I got a handle
on the root cause, the anxiety.

a few month ago one Dr put me on anti d's,
but I took them a couple times and stopped
as I felt my issues wasn't depression and
the pills made me sicker then what I was
already ( It was actually my jaw causing
problems, found out later)
so then, I get back to my usual self.. I'm
not the most happy person.. never have
been really but, I was fine.
now its like I've been hit by a truck.
few days ago one dr said it sounded like
anxiety and i asked if there was something
i could take and he gave me something temp
wich was Ducene or Diazapam or what ever
it is, I've noticed its addicive and I
haven't even taken many.
then I saw another dr, for a 2nd opinion..
and he also said its anxiety, he gave me 3
boxes of another drug, told me NOT to take
Ducene as it is addicitve, and I have a
script for more of this other one he gave
me. along with counceling to start soon.
I just hope these pills wont make me sick,
I haven't started them yet.
and another thing i am really obsessive
about is my weight,
now recently I haven't bothered so much
about it because i've been stressing about
my health and I've lost weight,
but my cousin said her anxiety pills have
caused her to gain ALOT of weight and she
hasn't even changed her diet, I dont wonna
gain weight. i've come so far the past few
years, I dont wonna go back to it.
