Thanks for reading my post! I have had anxiety for as long as I can remember, and has gotten so much worse over the last 5 years and a LOT worse over the last 4-5 months. I left a job I didn't love and now working towards something I enjoy, so really why should I have this anxiety? There have been a lot of recent health problems within my community (friends of friends, associates' family members, but no immediate family or friends.) I started having some strange symptoms a few months ago that doctors aren't really able to confirm what exacty it is (costochondritis, back pain, stomach inflammation, shakiness) and all blood work and tests have come back normal, theyre just pushing anxiety medication. but I have now developed this intense fear of getting really sick. To the point to where I think abt it all the time. Still having random symptoms which don't help my anxiety, and I am on a low dose of celexa and even klonopin daily, which the klonopin helps immensely. I am starting to see a therapist, first appt was a few weeks ago, I go back in a week. I want to feel healthy again, no pain from the costo or back pain and I want to be happy and driven and motivated. Isn't that what we all want? I just have this terrible feeling of impending doom and I don't know why or how to get through this. I'm not suicidal or anything, I just feel like I need a shoulder to lean on and someone to tell me it gets better, and maybe some advice. I try positive thinking and talking abt it with family, but it doesn't seem to help.
