I made a huge step and called a Dr today

Rebekah1021

for my anxiety. I haven't really posted about it, but my anxiety is just insane. I have always had a nervous stomach, but it's getting to be so much more. I get physically sick in social settings.

I was surprised that I was able to get in so quickly (Wed). My Dr's office is awful and I fuly expected to wait until Feb. to get in.

I can't believe it has taken my this long to get some help.

You'll be so glad you made the call.  Good for you for taking the step!

I have horrible anxiety and the medicine that I am on helps so much.  I honestly have turned into a hypochondriac since my friend died and I second guess every ache and pain and think that I am going to die too.  Sounds nuts huh?  I know that it's crazy but I cannot help the way I feel.  You are taking a huge step and will feel so much better once you get the help you need.  Page me if you need to chat.

I don't often post but wanted to send hugs. I too battle anxiety (moreso like the pp where I worry about myself and dh and dd getting sick and dying) and it can take over your life. I'm much better now that I'm on zoloft. I wish you all the best, you deserve to feel better.

That's awesome! I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.

Good for you!

I waited until dd was 7 months old to get treated for my PPD. Why did I wait that LONG? Dunno.

That is awesome!  I did the same a year ago for my depression and anxiety and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself.  My Mom had passed away and I was having anxiety over my special needs child (PDD on Autism spectrum).  It was starting to affect my marriage and my parenting skills.  I went on medicine and talked to a therapist and it helped so much.  Best of luck to you!

I struggled with PPD/anxiety this time around and it took me a good 4 months after Jack was born before I called and went to the doctor.  Some days are better than others, but talking to a therapist really helped me.  It's hard to face it and accept it, so good for you for calling your doctor.  Good luck!

Good for you!  I have extreme anxiety too.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I actually cancelled a dinner party we were going to have because of it over the weekend and I had a huge blown panic attack right before DD's birthday

Taking care of yourself is most important.  I hope you feel better soon.
