Anxious

Anyone else deal with health anxiety? I find it so hard for people to understand/relate.

Yes. I'm on meds for it

@Theresa has it helped?

@Kristin yes. I couldn't cope before. Now it's bearable, I still have some days that are more difficult but there are less than before

@Theresa are you on it for health anxiety? I feel like I’ll never be okay.

My sister does. She calls me when she’s going down that spiral. We talk or text until she can convince herself she’s ok and her babies are ok. It’s annoying sometimes but that anxiety is so real. I’ve tried telling her to go on meds for it but she won’t cause she’s still breastfeeding. I actually looked up ways to handle it and talk her down. Now that I have a baby and the anxiety is there but nothing like hers, we will ask each other to google stuff so we don’t go down a spiral. 🌀 if you need someone to talk you down from stuff you can dm me.

I do, its so hard to not spiral sometimes! I'm on meds which has helped and also got onto a postnatal therapy class through talking therapies

@Kristin I am.

@Toni I was also in a dbt post natal class. I forgot about that

I had my doctor's support to stay on my meds through pregnancy and breast-feeding.

Yeeeees

For me it’s more like death anxiety. Being so worried about all of our health because I don’t want anyone to get left behind

I have been so baf with anxiety lately and i cant get the reason why. Hormones dont help!

@Collin I just did, thank you so much!

@Toni do you still spiral like you did before?

@Kristin sometimes but I have a great support system with family and friends. I know when I'm having a bad day and will message to put them on 'stand by' so if something happens or it gets to much I know I can reach out. This has definitely helped and find knowing I have that support on the day eases the anxiety.

@Toni so lucky, I don’t really have that.

Yes I have medical issues that aren't able to be figured out and it is affected by eating. I'm in therapy for it and on anxiety meds
