Hi

First of a big welcome to the forum you have come to the right place to find support.  Sorry to read you are having problems with anxiety it can be a real tough thing to deal with what I would suggest is you ask your doctor for some information regarding any kind of talking therapies you could do such as CBT or Mindfulness as these have great results in sourceing the issue and then teaching you copeing stratigies to deal with the anxiety so it does not rule your life as much.  

Try and stay in the moment the best you can and take small steps each day and keep posting here we are a good support group and you will meet others who will be able to relate to what you are going through.

Hello and welcome!

I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with so many health issues at the moment.

Physical issues can certainly exacerbate the anxiety/mental health, so you are wise to see this connection...and you will want to treat them together, so that you can be well in mind and body!

Have you been able to see your doctor? Are you being treated for the anemia with B12 suppliments/shots/sublingual treatments? Some of the physical probelms that you describe could certainly be caused by anemia.

Your doctor can also help you to deal with the IBS with advice on diet and stress management. IBS and anxiety are of course related, so if you lower the stress, your digestive symptoms should improve.

As Hibee said, you may also want to talk to your doctor about therapy as a possible option for the treatment of your anxiety issues. This is a great long term help in managing this problem.

I hope that you can get the help that you need very soon. Keep posting here with us as well if you find it helpful. We are here to listen and support.:)

Boy am I in your shoes right now, I also am having this super tired feeling day and night, I get plenty of sleep and have been to the dr. 3 times now to check blood work, my hematocrit is a bit low as well, taking vitamins to help improve it but I'm constantly tired, starting to think it has something to do with allergies, either breathed or eaten.

I'm also going in today for a ultra sound of a nodule they found on my thyriod >< scared to death especially with being so sleepy and a nice round of irritable bowel syndrome to go with it.

Hope all turns out well for you, keep talking with your doctors to help figure this out and keep us updated please, I had to go through a few doctors before finding this one now that seems to understand, listen and want to help me.
