Anxious....

CeeCee...my VA dr. Was a stunning woman in her 40s. She dressed to the nines. I didn't mind telling her anything or show and tell if necessary. I always figured anything I might show her she has already seen. Bigger and better probably.:cool:
 

Cee Cee, When I was seven, I had a brain trauma, and the Dr.'s put me on anxiety meds. I've had to take them most of my life in one form or another. I fought taking them because I thought the Dr.'s were saying I had a mental problem. Recently I was made to see that it was a physical thing, and I quit fighting the need to take the meds. I feel much better now. I now look at it much like I do my bad thyroid. So use them as needed, and don't worry what other think. BUT,please follow your Dr.'s advice.
 
I have thyroid problems too and that can cause many other problems in the body such as depression anxiety and a whole list of others.

I don't take anti anxiety meds now, my panic attack problem was many years ago but I will occasionally have some anxiety for one reason or another and I do have a stash of Xanax if I need it.

When I had my panic attacks I lived in Indiana and my dr was a very handsome Greek man. I was going every week, although I was married I had a big crush on him....beside being a sexy Greek God he was also a very good dr.

I think I know what is causing my anxiety...the blood test, although a routine I'm imagining getting a call from the dr that something isn't right.

Probably because that's what happened to my husband. Plus I start thinking if something is wrong, I'm all alone here; how will I handle bad news like that, etc.

It's a horrible feeling, CeeCee. Going through the same thing, here, but I've got to get busy and take my mind off of it. Wish I had a Xanax! I know you shouldn't borrow trouble, but it's a very worrisome thing.
 
I'll probably feel like this til I get the results of my blood test...and if something is wrong I will have a full blown panic attack.

Well if something major is wrong. I can deal with my thyroid being off because that is just a med adjustment.

You do realize that you've just sentenced yourself to those very symptoms, don't you? By looking into the future and foreseeing bad results you're calling Karma's name, and she's nothing if not accommodating.

Take it one minute at a time and don't sweat the future, because there's nothing we can do to change it anyway. We're just along for the ride.

That is way expensive, Phil.

Ive always been like that...looking into the future; not easy to change.
 
I focus on my body when I'm in panic mode. All of a sudden my I start noticing things that I didn't before. Like my stomach making noises...it usually doesn't. Things like that.

Ceecee, every time I get stressed, my stomach gets out of order. Very common, at least it is for me. My neighbor just gave me a Xanax and I broke it in half.....works like a charm.

I haven't had a panic attack in decades, but I remember all too well how horrible they are. But before I took the Xanax, I was literally pacing the floor like a crazy lady. I'm so hoping my dr's appt tomorrow will relieve my worries.
 
I hope so too Katie! Yes a little Xanax goes a long way in relieving anxiety...some say it's a crutch and you need to deal with anxiety other ways but it helped me that horrible year of my life.

After that I didn't need them at all for 20 yrs..then when my husband died, dr prescribed some and I've always had a stash since then...don't take daily but use in those times like yesterday....it saved me from getting a full blown attack.
 
Thanks Gary, so far today I'm okay. If the drs office calls though it means something is wrong with the blood test, if they don't call that means she'll tell me the results on my next visit.

For me at that time it was the opposite..I couldn't be home alone...I put my poor husband thru hell then. He would take me to my grandmothers house and pick me up on the weekend.

Im embarrassed in writing this.

No need to be at all, CeeCee. I often have to remind myself that whatever it is I'm going/have been through, no matter how bad it seems to me, many, many others have traveled the same or similar roads.
 
That is true and we do have to remind ourselves that we really are no different than anybody else, but some people don't talk about what tney are feeling etc...I do which might or might not be a good thing, but it helps me at the time.
