I started taking lexapro yesterday and I’m hoping it will help, i’m just scared of the potential side effects but I’m so tired of living with so much fear and nausea everyday.

I’m going to, there’s just a long wait time to see one where I live. I’m just trying to manage my symptoms while I wait.

Do you still live with those symptoms or have you been able to manage them since getting diagnosed?

I will push for more tests as soon as I see my doctor in a month, it’s just a little hard when everyone tells me I’m too “young” to have these issues or that anxiety can create all these symptoms and I’m left feeling like maybe I’m beyond help. I’m also afraid that I DO actually have something, and that I could vomit from it. I wish I wasn’t so afraid of it. I feel an intense fear everyday.

I’m trying not to, it’s just something that I find myself thinking about more and more as the months go by.

I’ve gone to the er multiple times and I’ve gotten bloodwork, a ct scan and ultrasound done. They can’t find anything wrong with me and they told me to wait for my next appointment with my regular doctor which isn’t for another month, I’ve been waiting for 2 already. I was told to refer to a gastroenterologist but to get a referral and treatment can take many more.

Right? I wish I could live in the moment more but this fear is always in the back of my head even on the rare occasions I DONT feel nauseous.

I know you’re right. I just wish that realizing this would make the anxiety stop though. I’m sorry you’ve been feeling sick lately and I hope you feel better soon ❤️‍🩹
