Hi Kevin, I thought that you came across as a lovely individual. You have very kind eyes and a nice smile. You came across as friendly and engaged. I’ll have conversations with coworkers while I’m...
Hi HW family, It has been a long time since I've posted. I have been doing really well up until the last week. Have any of you noticed that your anxiety presents itself in a twinging feeling in the...
I'm currently having the exact same fear. I'm sorry you're going through this, too....
I guess I just have to want to recover more than the urge to self check? I made a goal list with my counselor for this week. 3 goals. 1. Reduce checking 2. Don't call the kids after school to ask how...
Hi Beth, Wow! This felt like reading something I wrote. I am also 31 and have been having itching in my left breast since August 2016. Just last week I had a biopsy to rule out Pagets disease (my...
Thanks SC So appreciative for you guys....
Tim Tam, no. Maybe fighting is the wrong word. We have just been sort of tense with one another. He's working long hours and is tired and sounds irritated. We just aren't moving along as smoothly as...
Hi everyone ♥ I am feeling so overwhelmed right now. I have been having issues since August with my breast and saw a specialist yesterday to have a biopsy done. I had so much anxiety leading up to...
Hi Straydog, Thank you for reaching out and for the info. I had the biopsy done yesterday and wanted to come back and share in case anyone else happens to do a search and wants to know a little about...
Anyone? I'm quite nervous....
Hello BC forum, Since August 2016, I have been having an issue with my left nipple. It has pretty severe itching on and off (I'd say 4-5 out of 7 days a week it is very noticeable). My doctor gave me...
I am sorry you're having a hard time right now. You will be in my thoughts ♥...
Glad it went well, SC!...
Hi Mimi, welcome. I am sorry you're struggling with anxiety. I've had the numb tingling sensation, too. It is not fun! I hope your appointment goes well. Just be open and honest with your doctor...
It just feels so overwhelming. I have had anxiety for many years now and I feel like the last few months it has been extremely magnified. I don't understand the sudden increase. Today has probably...
I am not out of breath, per se.. but I just have sort of a tight discomfort. I suffer from health anxiety and have been really struggling over the last month-two months. The other night my anxiety...
Thanks Blu ♥...
Will do :) It was neat - while she and I were on the phone making the appointment, at the exact same time we both said "do you have any other questions for me?" LOL I hope it is a good fit....
I'm so sorry yesterday was tough. My BP is higher when I am worried. What a great husband you have for deep breathing with you! Praying things start improving daily! (((hugs)))...
Just discovered that I've met our family deductible which MEANS!!! I can start going to see someone! I took the plunge and made the phone call last night. I have my first appointment next Thursday at...
I completely agree with ScardeyCat. I think that it is just leftover junk from when you were sick. I know the feeling you're talking about....
Thanks for always being here for us, SC ♥...
Morning all. I have a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound scheduled for Monday morning. I have been having a lot of anxiety lately with an issue my left breast is experiencing. My maternal...
My husband is usually very understanding and comforts me when I am in a anxious cycle - but some days I can tell that it wears on him (which I totally understand). Is your family supportive?...
Struggling this week. Just took my first Xanax in about a year (they expired in October so I hope that won't cause any issues)...
My oldest son had a really bad health scare in 2009. He developed a rare disease that could have been fatal if not discovered in a week. We caught it at the very end of that time frame. My therapist...
My insurance has a very high deductible and every therapist I've looked into in my area is between 100-200 per session. I cannot afford that. We just moved back to San Diego over the summer and we...
I have pretty severe health anxiety. It comes in waves and I am always jumping from one terrible ailment to the next. Sometimes it is worrying about my own health.. and other times it is worrying...
I am so sorry for your loss, Larry. Praying for peace and comfort for those who loved him....
My son has horrible allergy symptoms - nasal swelling, congestion, itching, you name it.. We took him to be tested for allergies and the skin test came back negative for everything. The doctor was...
Hi SC, I am sorry :( Nothing is worse that that gripping fear that totally cripples you. Praying it turns out to be nothing. I recently had this and was reassured that if the node is sore, it is less...
Thanks! I don't know why I always forget to check there first....
I cannot afford a therapist right now but I've heard that CBT can be very helpful for health anxiety. I am in a horrible cycle right now and just want to find something that can help. Does anyone...
That is AWESOME!...
I'm very sorry you're going through this. I imagine it is really difficult. I'll keep you both in my prayers....
Omg saraKt!! I feel the same way. Lol!...
I'll keep you in my prayers, Larry....
I'm sorry :( You will be in my thoughts....
That is very interesting. Thanks for sharing!...
Hi B, Welcome. I'm sorry you're having a tough time right now. I agree that the feelings you're having are also due to the startup of the new medication. Glad you're finding therapy helpful. Take care...
I've had the same sensation. The jello leg feeling really bothered me. I got to the point where I was thinking about it nonstop and then feeling it non stop because I kept thinking about the...
I'm sorry you're having a hard time. Ditto that anxiety can raise your heart rate. Your sunburn could also be raising your HR. I hope today is better for you. Hang in there, friend....
I am very sorry for your loss....
But my anxiety doesn't seem to be related to the major move at all. In 6 days we will be moving from Houston to San Diego. Things I should be stressing over: Not knowing if DS2 will attend the school...
My dad has had a few MRI's and always asks for an open MRI. He has a brain aneurysm so I know they can do an open MRI for your head. Good luck. Praying all is well....
Hi! Sounds like you have many decisions to make. It is so hard being at a crossroad - trying to decide what to do next. I wish you the best. Pray over these decisions. I totally understand your pull...
Thank you both. SC, that does seem to fit! I didn't know there was a term for this. Larry, that is really good advice. Knowing this has passed before and it was nothing!...
I am in the exact same boat right now. We are about the same age, too. I'm sorry. It sucks. Big time. (((Hugs)))...
Blah. I'm back. My throat sort of feels like I may have something stuck in my throat. I know I don't. It just has that sensation. Along with this, I've been feeling a tight feeling in my chest. This...
May all be well....
