Mind going crazy...anxiety from lyme?

Hey,

Does anyone else here relate in this area? I have major anxiety and obsessive,compulsive thought patterns. I cant get them to stop. Even taking religious steps,as I am a christian. I had a rough past. Rejected by peers during my teen years,and thus resulting in no friends. When I was a child..6..a friend forced me into improper behavior with him as well. I'm being very open here. I have dozens of friends now,good ones. However,my thought patterns pull them into it. I worry about losing them,being nosy..saying the wrong thing,etc. My mind is in turmoil. Last year I did a worm/parasite cleanse. I woke up one morning with no fear...no anxiety..a clear mind. It was beautiful. I had a quick glimpse of what it would be like..

God bless,
Kevin

Well,im not officially in treatment for Lyme. Money is tight right now,but im doing some high doses of clean,organic Spirulina,the most potent brand of organic freeze dried garlic,and Chlorella. Grapefruit Seed Extract I just started to. My one friend thinks I can control this anxiety. He doesnt think the Lyme is doing it. He even had Lyme himself. Hes a beast marine. He took anti biotics,and he is 'fine' so he says. I still see some strange cognitive signs in him though from time to time. Makes me wonder..

I have recently found motherwort tincture works wonders to calm me. 1/4 tsp in water 2-3 times a day. (Not recommended for longer than 30 days a time.)

I wonder if you are dealing with neuro psychiatric lyme? I believe I had that a few years ago, before I was diagnosed with actual lyme. I could remember and focus on the most bizarre things about people, but couldn't remember what I ate for lunch. I also suffered terrible paralyzing anxiety.

I took fish oil supplements and also went through extensive psychotherapy, as I was told by my doctors I had non medical psychological problems. Hindsight and a chronic lyme diagnosis this year tells a different story of my past.

Fish oil is amazing and there are numerous studies about how it helps with depression. I took it and wonder if it was why I recovered from my anxiety.

Also, at the height of my personal anxiety, xanax and ativan (not taken together) were little miracles for me. I didn't take them regularly, but when anxiety was unbearable, they let the pressure out and helped me get through some really dark times.

Take care and please know you are not crazy. I hope you can eventually afford a practitioner who can assess you for neuro lyme.
