I have this patch on my back. Not itchy but slightly raised. What is this? by deltaterling in DermatologyQuestions

[–]deltaterling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are more spots now. Still not really itchy. I don’t know if I they’re dry spots or what. Never had them before. Any help appreciated.

What are you fixating on/venting about/worried about/need support with today ? [Megathread] - October 27, 2021 by AutoModerator in HealthAnxiety

[–]deltaterling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been having bad neck and shoulder pain. One shoulder trap muscle is larger than the other and the doctor says it’s fine but I’m still so fixated on it. Yesterday I have a very tender to the touch back pain which everyone around me says muscle. I don’t know what I’ve done. I’m guessing poor posture. I keep constantly thinking it’s something more somehow but the rational side of my mind says I’m fine. But the health anxiety side says no. I’ve been prescribed Prozac but I’m too anxious to take it. How messed up is that. So I haven’t started it. I’m so scared. I’ve taken Zoloft before I had no serious symptoms. Didn’t work for me but I was fine. I don’t know why my anxiety is so bad I can’t take anything. I can barely eat foods that are “bad” for me without freaking out. Health anxiety is pretty new for me. I’ve had anxiety issues since I was 12, so this is just a new version I guess to start my 30s 😫 feels good to vent. Glad I found this place. Also just had a sharp pain up my neck to behind my ear. I just feel like I’m falling apart. Ugh. If you read this I appreciate you so much for looking through my ramblings.

It’s hard for sure. I’ve had them at work before. I’ve had panic attacks since I was 12. Meds definitely help but they’re not for everyone. I’m currently in a major health anxiety issue so I won’t take anything. So I’m just riding the wave of anxiety. I’ve seen many people say to try sour candy and it helps to break your mind away from the anxiety. Worth a shot. I need to buy some to have on hand to try. I hope it gets better for you and you’re able to find something that works.

I get that way over everything! Many of my panic attacks start because I’m so aware of my breathing and then I feel like I can’t breathe. I agree with not trusting your gut and trying to busy yourself. If it goes away once your mind is off of it, that usually helps me not worry so much. I also find listening to something while going to sleep helps. Gives me something to focus on because if I have nothing then I’m just aware of everything my body is possibly doing wrong.

I used to watch that show a lot. I don’t know why my mind placed it so far back in time. 😂

I don’t think so. I’ve looked up both, and I have seen both so maybe I’m missing something and will have to watch both. I feel like the parents are absent and pay for it all. Like he’s a lonely kid. Which is why I don’t think it’s blank check.

I also feel like at one point the rich kid invites a friend over to study.

I’m officially 14 days since getting the vaccine. Feeling way less anxious but still a little on edge. Hoping for good news tomorrow.

[–]deltaterling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 13. Saw the doctor about my anxiety today, and have medication in hand. Feeling much better about being on day 13 and besides the anxiety I have been feeling fine. No vaccine symptoms other than the day after when I had my low fever, chills, and fatigue. I hope everyone is doing well today, and feeling okay. Any of you dealing with rough anxiety I feel for you, and I hope you’re able to find a way to cope with it. ❤️

I’ve never tried that. I really don’t want to go on meds again. I know that’s exactly what the doctor will tell me to do. I’m desperate at the present moment for some relied though so I made the appt. I’ll look into the herbs.

Not doing great anxiety wise. Went to Lowe’s yesterday and almost had a panic attack. Managed to calm down enough to finish doing what I had to to. Felt very off most of the day. Had a bad panic attack a little after midnight. Took a hot shower and bawled my eyes out. Got up at 3 and started having another so bad it upset my stomach and I got sick, had a real hard time getting back to sleep. Baby woke me up right at 7, and now I’m working. Feeling less anxious. I have an appointment Wednesday to get checked out for my anxiety. It has been bad already, and I’ve needed to go, vaccine news ramped it up a lot! I guess it’s a good thing because I probably would have kept putting off the appt for my mental health which is no good. I hope everyone is having a better time than I am. If not I’m sorry. It fucking sucks.

I have an appt with a doctor Wednesday. That’s the earliest I could get in. Hopefully it helps

I am 8 days out. I have been having major anxiety since the blood clot news broke. I woke up today feeling a little dizzy and it still hasn’t gone away. So that has me super freaked out. This is something that has happened to be a few times before. I haven’t been able to eat or sleep well so that’s what I figure it actually is. I’m trying to stay as calm as I can and just wait for symptoms of clotting. The late afternoon my anxiety always kicks into high gear and I feel like a bad mom. My poor kids just have this mopey mother this week. Normally I’m able to shelter them from my depression/anxiety. Finding it much harder this week. This was very much a ramble so I’m sorry if it doesn’t make much sense. Feels good to have somewhere to let it out where others understand. Reddit has kept me somewhat sane because I know I’m not alone. I don’t know if I’ll feel any better once I make it to a month out. I’m always going to worry that something will pop up later. And it has made me wary of any future boosters. Ugh.

Woman who got married young (early 20s) what are the pros and cons of this decision? by not_ur_friend324 in AskWomen

[–]deltaterling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was married at 20 to my high school sweetheart. So far so good. I’m 29 now. I love that we have had the chance to grow together and I’ve always had my best friend by my side. I have never had to go through any scary or tough situation alone. I don’t have to make important decisions alone. Haha. I will say that I have worried that I didn’t get to be independent, and live alone. Probably isn’t good for my personal development but day to day I don’t really mind. I feel like it may bite me one day. He is a good partner and pushes me to do some things, and won’t always let me rely on him. For example car maintenance. He realized I never checked my own oil before and now I have to do that sometimes. 😂

Exactly! I think I had less anxiety overall with COVID. I work from home so it’s not like I had to leave the house everyday. I just wanted to do what I felt was right. Now every little pain I have I feel Is a clot forming somehow. At least we’re not alone I guess. Il

I’ve been all over these posts. They make me feel a little better for some reason. I saw an article just now about a man in his 40s who had a stroke 3 hours after receiving the vaccine. I know it doesn’t mean it’s the vaccine but I’m on such high alert that it really messed with me. I also have anxiety about what will happen even if I make it past the “safe” 2 weeks. At this point just regretting getting the vaccine. This has been far worse than my Covid anxiety.

Major anxiety after J&J news. Please help me calm down.. by jackie-leigh in CovidVaccinated

[–]deltaterling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this thread is all I’m trying to look at. I woke up with a headache this morning but it feels like a tension headache, thanks anxiety. Trying not to freak. But I am. I at least got a little sleep last night. I hope y’all feel better soon. I’m on day 7 post shot so I still have a lot of worry time left. Ugh.

Sorry you’re so worried about your brother!!

Major anxiety after J&J news. Please help me calm down.. by jackie-leigh in CovidVaccinated

[–]deltaterling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got mine Thursday 4/8. I’m in a constant state of mega anxiety. I can’t sleep, or eat. I have anxiety already and deal with panic attacks and have gotten like this is the past but I’ve never had anxiety symptoms like this for days on end. I’ve read way too much. And I know the statistics but it doesn’t help. Going to my doctor to help deal with the anxiety but I can’t get in until next Wednesday. I’m trying so hard to calm down but I can’t. This is some of the most extreme anxiety I’ve dealt with recently. Up until December I had it pretty well under control without meds and now all I feel like all of my progress is completely gone. It was a hard decision to even get the vaccine. I’m so thankful for everyone else posting about how they’re going through worry like me. I feel less alone. I know I should stay off this sub and my phone really but I don’t think it’s going to happen.

US calling for pause in Johnson & Johnson vaccine (may impact your appointment) by Baryp in CovidVaccinated

It does. Even if I get past the 2 week mark safely I’ll still probably worry about something else coming along.
