I don't want to be a nuisance...and the last thing I want to do is upset someone for my constant posting here...but idk what else to do.
The last month as been really bad with my anxiety...and I think that's all this is for the most part (which I think is most upsetting.) But I still, every day wake up and feel a twitch, pain, numbness/tingling, cramping or shaking muscles when I use them and I automatically think you know what...and I spend most mornings on these forums looking up post after post just trying to calm myself down. At work we talk about "quality of life" for our patients. Well I can wholeheartedly say that this isn't a quality of life that I want or desire. It's been 2 years of this constant anxiety and strange symptoms. As far as I can remember I have worried about my health...but this is getting extreme. Please reassure me this is nothing to worry about...I'm a wreck right now.
I have an appointment with my family doc and I'm going to ask him about anti-anxiety meds. Nothing I have tried has worked but I think they were more for depression. I'm depressed because I think I'm dying! So I figure if I stop the negative thoughts I can stop the depression? Who knows. Something has to work...does anyone have any experience with Xanax? I know it's a personal question...but we talk about a lot of personal things here. I've heard it can be addicting...which that's the last thing I need...
As always any thoughts/comments/suggestions are appreciated.
