This is VERY long SORRY!!!!




Hello, I am a 19 year old female. I have a 2 1/2 year old son, I work full time and I go to school full time, I am very busy. I used to be able to do everything right after my son was born I went to school for 12 hours a day worked and still was no strssed by the situation. Before I got pregnant, one of my boyfriend's frienRAB was killed in a drunk driving accident, after that all I could tink of was that i was going to happen tohim. I could not sleep until I knew hewas hom and I woke up early in the morning to talk to him the whole way to work, I really thought nothing of it at the time, though my boyfriend did and never knew and still does not know that the reasonI want to talk to him the whole time he is away from me is because I think he is going to die. Last year the step daughter of one of my coworker's who at the time was 7 years old was diagnosed with a tumor in her colon, at the time I was having issues with hemrrhoiRAB and thought the same thing was going on with me, I called my doctor and they reassured me it was nothing to worry about, but I could not get the thought out of my mind so I researched colon cancer day in and day out. Everyday I would look for a symptom in myself, changes in bowel movements,pain in my left side etc. And as luck would have it I started to develop these same symptoms, totally freaked out I finally went back to the doctor and found out the pain in my side had to do with a menstural thing and everything else was probably just stress from thinking I was sick. That takes me to now, a little over a month ago a client who used to go to my work passed away from a brain aneurysm, and ever since then I cannot stop thinking that I am going to be next. All I do is look at what the symptoms are and keep thinking about what is going on. Sometimes I feel different pains in my head and frek out that I am getting ready to have a brain aneurysm. I actually have broken down in tears 2 or 3 times. Sometimes I get jittery hot and feel like I want to throw up. I am so tired lately but I cannot sleep. I want to go to the dr but I have no insurance and am scared to go for nothing. I am not sure if this sounRAB like anxiety or if I am just plain crazy. I just want to get my life back and stop feeling the way I do. Any feedback would be appreciated!!! Sorry It is so long.
 
You are a hypochondriac. Every little thing you feel you think you're gonna die or catch it. What you need to do first is stop looking into every disease/symptom that someone else gets, stop reading the side effects and symptoms because then your mind is going to take control over you. You are giving yourself panic attacks and anxiety for no reason. If there was really something wrong with you your doctors would know, but they havent found anything. You need to relax and stop worrying about everything. If someone has a tumor that doesnt mean youre going to get one. Dont be afraid to go to the doctor because you dont have insurance. There is such a thing called Indigent Care that is available to people without insurance. Plus, if it makes you feel better to go to the doctor then go, even though theres nothing wrong. :) Just relax.
 
ank you so muc for the reply! i am ging to the doctor friay about the new symptoms....everyone else is telling me the same thing but I just wanna find out for myself for the sake of it, and plus the doctor can tell me things to do to stop feeling the way i do, hopefully that will help, it really is putting a strain on me, everyone thinks im crazy, including my b/f and im beginning to wonder.....but thanks it does help to hear it is nothing to worry about
 
No prob, dont worry if other people think youre nuts, do whats gonna make feel better. If you need a doctor to repeatedly tell you that youre ok, then let him. People can not possibly understand this disease and what it does to you unless they experience it for themselves. I had anxiety so bad that I stayed in my pjs and didnt leave my couch for 3 months and gained 50lbs, so I know what its like.
 
I dont know what my anxiety is from, which actually makes it worse. I woke up in the middle of the night one night to my heart racing so bad that I couldnt even stand up. My father rushed me to the hospital cause I was almost passing out. I had every test done on the planet and found nothing. For 2 weeks my heart raced, my body shook, I was dizzy, I couldnt stand and I just felt scared like I was gonna die. I made my way to my doctor who said I had anxiety. I also went to a cardiologist and he gave me a beta blocker to slow my heart down. I never got an actual diagnosis for anything except anxiety. I started taking Effexor XR and it took about a month to work. For that whole time period I didnt get off my couch or even get dressed. It was so bad that I was making myself throw up from being so scared for no reason. I would take myself to the emergency room about once a week cause it was so bad. Sometimes I would go just to feel better, I guess being around doctors comforted me. I took the meRAB for 5 years and felt great. Then I got pregnant last year and had to stop taking all of my meRAB. The withdrawl was horrible. I was fine throughout the pregnancy. Then the first night home with the baby, my body freaked out again and the anxiety came back. Now Im on my 5th day of taking Effexor XR again and it hasnt really kicked in yet. So now I have a 2 week old baby who I cant even take care of because Im all whacked out.
 
omg that is crazy...mine is not that bd but it jsut seems like for me my symptoms are just slowly getting worse. today i went to the dr and hetold me my neck pain was just a strained muscle and there was no problem with pain in your head unless it makes your arms and hanRAB nurab, it doesnt go away with pain mdicine, etc. all of which i do not have. then he said that it is very common for people my age to fear what is happening to them so he gave me a medicine to help when i get the anxiety attacks and to tell them if it helps or if i have to take it more that 2 times a week. so we will see....i mean that is what i thought was going on with me so i can at least rest easy that i have o symptoms to be alarmed of.....you know. i hope that your medicine kicks in soon so you can enjoy your baby!!! im sure it is just a matter of time but hopefully it doesnt take a whole nother month
