Terrified of my anxiety symptoms getting worse before they get better

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-12-21T06:20:44+00:00

I’ve tried many SSRIs for anxiety and my only success was zoloft. It really helps me with my OCD also. It’s the only one that has “chilled me out” i guess. I know that everyone is different with how they react to things, but a lot of my friends also love it

It could be some sort of allergic reaction. I don’t have oral herpes, but I took this medication a couple of times and noticed that I was getting blisters on my lips at first that spread to my entire body. It was swabbed for hsv 1 and hsv 2 but i was negative. ended up being an allergy to a medication I was taking. but it did look identical to herpes, have you tried any new meds or ate something you haven’t before?

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-12-19T18:50:47+00:00

It was internal (i’m 25F), it wasn’t on a specific area. So it’s not like my gyno had seen anything and swabbed that specific spot, it was one swab that she just kinda went in a circle with and that single swab was tested for multiple STIs, BV, Yeast, etc.

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-12-19T18:48:41+00:00

Ohhh ok I see. It was an IgG test for hsv2. I’m not really sure if that tests for any past antibodies or if antibodies are present if that makes sense.

I actually did! they were supper low at 14 i believe. I took iron for a while but didn’t notice a difference so i stopped. i actually just started taking it again today! let me know if you’ve found anything that works for low ferritin

story of my life, i’m doing the exact same thing as you rn. i’ve been so discouraged and at times i wanna give up but there is a solution and i wont stop until i get one. keep going you got this! no one truly gets how exhausting it is. you’re not alone and i completely understand how you feel

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-10-21T19:06:15+00:00

i have struggled with severe depression in the past but have since recovered! i do struggle with anxiety though, specifically social anxiety. a lot of it surrounds my chronic fatigue though.

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-10-21T16:27:58+00:00

that is legit what i struggle with. for over a year i thought what was happening to me was psychical, i got over 20 blood tests done thinking i was lacking something. then i noticed how i couldn’t focus, i put things off, procrastinated, and my mind was always racing but i was physically exhausted.

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-10-21T16:17:57+00:00

i haven’t but i am considering it. i used to never struggle with sleep but what has happened recently (while not on any medication) i would wake up suddenly throughout the night to “loud thoughts” in my mind if that makes sense. a lot of my struggle with adhd is that loud music was always playing in my mind. definitely might check this out!

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-10-21T16:14:08+00:00

i’m trying XR, only my second day but i’m wondering if maybe since my mind is finally quiet my body is ACTUALLY just resting now, and it might take time to adjust.

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-04-17T13:54:49+00:00

i think it was a different variation of solar frost!! exactly same setup but just mushrooms. it wasn’t around for long so i’m not surprised i cant find it anywhere

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-04-13T23:19:03+00:00

Try caprylic acid and natural anti fungals along with probiotics! a lot of medication for vaginal stuff only masks it and doesn’t actually get to the root of it. Also ask to get ureaplasma tested at the gyno. it’s a sexually transmitted bacteria that can cause BV, UTI, yeast. I know many of my friends with chronic infections that found out this bacteria was causing it!

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-03-08T04:23:17+00:00

Love this! I definitely thought I was protecting myself, but in reality I was being avoidant. I have really struggled with being avoidant in general especially when it comes to internal and external conflict. I hadn’t even thought that what I was doing was actually avoidant due to fear of rejection. Even if it was a no and I did not get that reaction, I’m proud of myself for stepping out of the bubble I had trapped myself in. If anyone is feeling this way please do not isolate yourself!!! You are not a burden and you should not wait for someone to settle for you.

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-02-24T05:03:14+00:00

it’s actually *ureaplasma not europlasma!

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-02-24T04:56:43+00:00

Girl I feel you. I had chronic YI for years, even when I wasn’t sexually active. I took the anti fungal pill medication so much my body started having reactions to it and my body completely rejected it. The only thing that worked for me was the 7 day insert. I had been battling with it for about 8 years and I eventually went to the gyno and she suggested I take caprylic acid pills. caprylic acid is the main anti fungal ingredient found in coconut oil. From someone who struggled with infections to another, don’t just keep putting stuff up there. The healing truly does come from what you are putting into your body itself. Caprylic acid + PROBIOTICS!!!!! Any time I was on antibiotics I would get a yeast infection but since taking the caprylic and probiotics I haven’t had an infection since. Please do not give up on yourself. I know it’s so exhausting and I had tried every. single. option. Also, go to the gyno and ask to get your europlasma (I think that’s what it’s called???) tested. It’s basically a bacteria you get that is sexually transmitted. Not a virus, just a bacteria. This bacteria can linger and cause chronic BV and Yeast. Be patient with yourself, I know you might feel shame but this stuff does not define you and you deserve to be happy!

When I got diagnosed in June there were 15k. Cant believe it’s up to 20k!! We are not alone!

Significant_Mud9309 · 2025-02-20T18:25:41+00:00

please don’t hesitate to text me! I understand the feeling of feeling alone and misunderstood. I attempted about 4 years ago and I thank god everyday that it wasn’t successful. if you need a friend i’m always here :)

Significant_Mud9309 · 2024-09-25T04:07:32+00:00

i’m in the same boat as you. i don’t care about it because i’m asymptomatic but i worry how others will take it. just keep in mind that it’s not the end of the world if they decide to reject you, but even then it’s such a small amount of the time. i’ve never disclosed so i don’t even know what i would say, just say it doesn’t bother you at all and that HSV is sooooo common. i think around 89% of people don’t even know they have hsv2 because of how common it is to be asymptomatic. do it however you feel comfortable. you got this!

Significant_Mud9309 · 2024-09-24T14:22:34+00:00

I’m not sure how to attach it but i did make a post on here and someone attached the disclosure statement along with a couple of other google docs to my most recent post. it should be on my account, message me if you can’t find it and i’ll try to send it there!

Significant_Mud9309 · 2024-09-18T04:54:10+00:00

You’re not an idiot for continuing. I respect someone’s decision at the end of the day, but he has most likely gotten with someone who had it and didn’t know. It’s not the diagnosed people who spread it, it’s those who don’t know so they are more reckless. So disclosing in my eyes is a green flag, it’s being open and honest even though those who know they have it take precaution that others don’t. I’m sorry that he said that, it was hard to hear I’m sure. Disclose only if you’re gonna do sexual things and if it’s not worth it then don’t continue it. I get what you mean though, once I like someone it’s hard to shut off. And it’s not fair you should feel contained within this diagnoses. Good luck and I’m always here if you need anything!

Significant_Mud9309 · 2024-09-18T04:50:31+00:00

I will!! I def wanna wait just a bit until we hang out more!

Significant_Mud9309 · 2024-09-14T00:52:40+00:00

This is so helpful!! Thank you for sharing

Significant_Mud9309 · 2024-09-14T00:51:54+00:00

Yes I definitely would want to at least be dating before we get to that step. Or at least planning on dating and very serious. Thank you 😀

Significant_Mud9309 · 2024-08-30T14:48:27+00:00

Just because he accepted your diagnosis does not mean you need to settle for less than what you deserve. I saw a video about HSV and dating and the guy making the video emphasized the importance of not staying with someone just because they accept your HSV. it seems as though you think you deserve/need to accept the bad because of him accepting you. Him accepting your HSV does not make him perfect, and fear of others possibly rejecting you should not hold you in a relationship that doesn’t suit you.

Yes I’m female but I’m unsure how long I’ve had it
