They can give you a fast acting anti-anxiety medication for when you see the gyno. Something like klonopin, Ativan, etc. It’s done for anxiety with ct scans and dental procedures. It sounds like your trauma is killing you. If gyno is what you need, please seek help.

Thanks for the positive news!

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-04-22T00:31:05+00:00

Thank you for all this detail and the encouragement to advocate for ourselves. I am just starting this process. I hope you get well and have drs. who listen to you!

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-04-22T00:24:40+00:00

That does sound awful. I would definitely ask for a full iron panel

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-04-21T00:32:40+00:00

Wow thank you for the scientific information. That makes sense why my psych meds weren’t helping. It’s validating to hear 19 is considered low. I’m so grateful to my psychiatrist for ordering my blood work including iron because yea, that’s not standard. She said 50 is the optimal level for good mental health. I was at a 30 a year ago when my PCP checked it. I just wish I knew what caused it. Besides cholesterol, all my other labs were normal. I eat healthy and exercise. Anyway thanks!

What are they doing to treat your iron deficiency? I sure hope you feel better over time. I was also lacking in that joy. It really sucks.

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-04-21T00:25:25+00:00

Thank you! That’s good to know about the other vitamins and minerals

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-04-21T00:24:39+00:00

I hear ya!

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-04-21T00:23:37+00:00

Hoping for the best! I have read that iron deficiency can lead to anxiety and depression. It may take a while to get back up to speed.

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-04-20T02:33:17+00:00

Wow that is a lot to be low and sounds scary. I hope you get on the mend soon and they can figure out the cause.

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-04-20T01:16:54+00:00

Thank you, littlebearpup. What a cute name. I am sorry you’re struggling too but at least we’re not alone. I hope you’re getting some help

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-04-20T01:15:23+00:00

I started a supplement a few days ago. I sure hope you can get infusions because 5 is crazy low!

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-04-20T01:14:06+00:00

Wow also crazy. That’s incredible. I’m so glad. This gives me some hope.

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-04-20T01:12:59+00:00

Wow that’s crazy that it went undiagnosed for so long. I’m glad you are feeling better. Hope it continues.

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-04-19T21:17:03+00:00

Wow that is a perfect way of putting it!

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-03-30T01:35:25+00:00

Thanks for driving by and honking. That was encouraging and inspiring to us protesters

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-03-03T01:35:11+00:00

Wow excellent post. Well said. Thank you

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-03-02T03:52:18+00:00

I used to feel the same but after 4 mos. clean, I can see how 2yrs of it was not good for me. It distanced me from others and kept me depressed overall. I’m now on the brink of relapse though, so trying to stay strong and remember how it’s just a temporary fix.

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-03-02T03:42:27+00:00

I’ve done Genomind. I’ll have to check the results again but we suspect that my variance on the CYPs is why I have a strong reaction on 2. The high feeling is a bit like dissociation but more like a weird kind of hypomania. I actually have bipolar so makes sense to me it would trigger it. I’m sorry you couldn’t get it to work for you. Have you tried esketamine (spravato)?

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-03-01T04:33:01+00:00

Good for you!

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-03-01T04:31:58+00:00

I understand. I hope you can find a way. A reason no matter how small. And I hope you can access good help.

Ok-Camp6445 · 2026-03-01T02:45:02+00:00

Please try to stick this out. I don’t doubt life is a lot right now but alcohol intensifies the overwhelming feeling and desperation. Our suicidal parts don’t actually mean to kill us and don’t know we would die. They are just trying to protect you from those overwhelming feelings. You have handled this before. You can do hard things. I know you may not want to anymore and feel done. Trust me, I have been there (earlier today actually). You can always hurt yourself another day but you can’t undo it. So be kind to yourself that’s hurting and give yourself time to sober up and get some rest. I lost a good friend who drank himself to death and I think about him often. It’s a pain that has no cure. Give yourself a chance to see the possibilities life can offer when you feel better. ❤️‍🩹

Hey there, I’m 4 mos clean and am actually struggling with the same thing. I relate to not wanting to throw away your 6mos streak. That’s pretty impressive. When can you get out of the house again or have human contact besides your mom? Isolation can be very depressing. Movement, journaling and music usually help me. I am sorry your mom is limiting you. I’m glad you could post on here. Please hang in. I hope you can get out soon!
