very bad anxeity its really messing up my life ....

Hello everyone i am new here and let me tell you a little about myself ... im a 24 yr old female from the northeast and im a college student married for one year.

my story.....

First off i have always had problems with my periods and also very bad anxiety with depression through out my teen years.

about two years ago i had my gallbladder removed and i feel that's when all my problems started. i started getting very bad lower back pain with abdominal pain feeling like period cramping and this last for days. also sometimes it would have sharp pains all through out my back and abdominal like sudden pain. another thing is that after every time i eat something i go to the bathroom and it just comes out like water ( sorry gross i know). This also doesnt help since i have anxiety issues. Due to my lack of periods doctors did hormone tests and ultrasounds and find nothing wrong with my ovaries since i was freaking out that i could have OC because normally IBS and OC have the same signs. but since im young and have no family history of any reproductive cancers and the two ultrasounds being normal that i do not have OC that it can only be IBS but im have having a hard time believing that my anxiety can be causing all this pain and bathroom visits and of course lack of periods! please tell me if any of you have been through this!

Hello and welcome.
The short answer to your question is yes. Anxiety can cause this and a lot more! I've missed periods, sleep, lost weight and hair by the handful. I've lost the ability to walk ( my legs along with every muscle in my body would cramp and refuse to work). I've been literally sick to my stomach.
Sweetie, trust me, you don't have enough time for all the symptoms and havoc anxiety could produce. My advice? Go see your Dr. Run the tests. If he says you're OK? Please please believe him.
Hugs

hello everyone thanks for your reply's and i went to the gyn today and pretty much they said i have pcos ( i forgot to mention that i am over weight)

anyways i put myself in a situation where i was so scared that i was obsessing over having cancer that i feel like i was having the symptoms....i really hate that i do this to myself and its like making me miss classes and not being able to focus

i do go to a psychiatrist at my college and he has me on prozac one a day and i also see a therapist.

my anxiety gets so bad that i feel the doctors missed something in my tests and that they dont know what their doing to the point where i dont trust any test i dont know what else i can do help me know that i am okay ... uuuuuuugh

Mam I wish I had a dollar for every person on HW that thinks
their doctor missed something and its going to kill them, I am
very sincere, you or no one else is that different, if you had
something bad they would have found it, Peace
