Hi I’m new here
Post on another site for the bipolar and SAD and and GAD and obsessive tendencies that I deal with. But pleased to find this (ha) for the hypochondriasis that has worsened over about the last 1.5 years. Anything from thinking that I will just spontaneously stop breathing, to having a severe allergic reaction ( when I’ve never had one in my life and I’ve eaten the food a thousand times before). Get chest pains from the psych meds I’m on, checked w doctor, prolly just anxiety, but scares me to no end. My heart rate is regularly in the 80s and can be close to 100.
Lately been having tingling in my right foot and calf, now thigh and right hand and the odd throbbing too. Had AZ vaccine 3 weeks ago. Went to emerg on Wed aft cuz I was so freaked out (I’m a terrible Googler)
Didn’t find anything and md felt in her gut that it’s nothing (she was v thorough and v nice). Waiting on bloodwork to be done for GP and ultrasound of right leg. There’s no doubt that Covid has worsened all the mental health issues but I’m scared it’s really sthg serious this time.
Feeling kinda brain foggy too and tired overall. But it’s possible that all this anxiety is causing these.
it’s also ruining my new relationship, cuz I’m so pulled in on myself, worrying almost every minute about what’s going on.
I’m in a 12 Step program and when I remember, try to remember to pray to calm myself. But I’m also currently mad at any God if sthg is indeed happening, esp already after having to live a somewhat tough life til now. Sorry for the length of this. Looking for ppl who can relate and want to offer me positive thoughts and feedback.
thanks in advance
