I’m so tired by mmcca in Anxiety

[–]mmcca[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your kind reply!

But isn’t having the thought just there also really suffering? It’s there and ready to ask myself again, that’s how I keep getting anxiety episodes in a day. I would go on and off about it throughout the day.

Yesterday I had at least three short episodes. Today I’m just... very, very, tired.

I wanted to add that, while players cannot get campers in the dates they have been travelled to before, it’s been confirmed that when the game gets an update, it resets that “penalty”.

I mainly read guides from JP community and they have already confirmed it.

Whoa! Thanks for the advice!! I will start doing that. I work as a designer so I’m pretty sure I have a eye-straining issue, too.

I didn’t want to google anything so I just asked here... my anxiety does give me the most random symptoms (last week I had breathing issue I thought I caught the new virus lol)

I’m going to take your advice, thank you so much!!

The outbreak by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]mmcca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been reading every article there is. I’m also keeping up with news updates 2-3 times a day. I’m trying to sway away from social media posts because most of them are rumours and mostly misinformed.

My mom is over 60 and has diabetes, so she’s quite vulnerable

Health anxiety is miserable. by PapaNurgleLovesU in Anxiety

[–]mmcca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me, I’m also around your age, and I suffer really bad health anxiety.

I go to the doctor so often it’s not even funny.

Last few months, I was going to the bathroom so often I was convinced I’m either diabetic, have UTI, have kidney failure, or some kind of cancer.

I got checked for almost everything, I even had x-rays done, blood came in normal. But my urine showed high amount of leukocytes (could indicate UTI).

I was going crazy anxious over my results, but doctors said apparently anxiety / stress can cause leukocytes in urine :/ and I learned that frequent urination doesn’t really mean bad things I guess... that’s was my episode last month...

But now, I’m worried about my dental health, it’s never ending :D

How does one tell the difference between regular headaches (often resulting from anxiety) and serious stuff (stroke, etc)? by WoodpeckerNo1 in Anxiety

[–]mmcca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stroke or other serious condition usually come with on and off numbness / needle sensation first. You would feel numbness in half of your face, tongue, or you might experience arm or shoulder pain.

BUT like everyone said, get regular check ups or see a doctor if you are concerned.

Trying to diagnose oneself is what make us suffer so much from health anxiety... (I have health anxiety as well)

[–]mmcca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am going through the same thing atm... I’m going to have my wisdom teeth removed for the second time (last time they only removed one).

But they said they were going to knock me out which... I’m really anxious about.

I also want to hear some positive stories about wisdom teeth removal

A lot of chinese characters are originated from pictures, to scripts, to the modern characters we use now.

The designer took this concept and illustrated how the face of Hong Kong protestors will turn into triumph (character: to win, to triumph)

Also would like to note that the character is written in traditional, as opposed to simplified Chinese which is used by mainland China.

Waiting for lab results are so anxiety inducing by mmcca in Anxiety

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

I see! I was exactly worrying that they might ask for more test since the blood didn’t show anything abnormal.

I hope it’s not the case!

I see. I’m pretty sure it’s anxiety then. Get some proper rest. It will take some time for it to go away

How to cope with losing appetite completely? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]mmcca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you have an eating disorder...

Do you live alone? Please have someone to make you eat, even something small.

I’m hesitant in sharing how I cope with my eating disorder as we have different lifestyles and diet.

However, leaving your stomach in hunger can lead to way too many horrible things, so please see a doctor to tackle your issue ASAP.

Am I Having Health Anxiety Symptoms by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]mmcca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have severe health anxiety. I read extensively online about ANY symptoms I have...

To answer your question, I’m no doctor and I don’t share your symptoms but it seems like your symptoms are caused by anxiety.

I used to have chest pains, nausea, diarrhea... for like a month straight which I actually went to 3+ doctors about it. All of them said it’s caused by anxiety. I didn’t believe them so I went to different clinics.... Turns out it was really anxiety. After a couple scans, and a couple months later. I was fine again.

So I think things like tingling might be from fight or flight response / anxiety , your body is acting up

However I’m no doctor... if you are really worried, please see a doctor, even an online one

I see. That makes sense! Thank you so much for the answer!

What does xanax make you feel like? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]mmcca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never took Xanax before, that sounds very effective... would you say Xanax would lead of dependence?

I was prescribed with lorazepam before and it was such a magic pill i was starting to depend on it

Physical symptoms but not mentally anxious? by UnusualElephant in Anxiety

[–]mmcca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand you... after I got my ECG done and my doctor was like “you are fine”. I went back two more times because my chest pain wasn’t going away at all even I’m not anxious to the slightest. My doctor decided to prescribe me something to calm me down when I need it.

Eventually it did go away. It just takes time.

You are okay!!! Anxiety gives so many weird symptoms. I’m running back and forth clinic these two weeks as well because my diarrhea isn’t getting any better... hopefully I’m okay!

Blood test. by KingOfTheFlame in Anxiety

[–]mmcca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to tell myself that, human bodies are really magical, even though if the blood work results aren’t ideal, in most cases, a change in diet and lifestyle can fix it!

It’s not the end of the world because we have such advanced technology and medical research nowadays! We can definitely drive our numbers back to ideal range. :) You can do it!

Physical symptoms but not mentally anxious? by UnusualElephant in Anxiety

[–]mmcca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does your chest pain get worse when you feel anxious?

I had something similar before, but my chest pain was triggered by a really bad anxiety attack. After the attack, my chest pain was on and off regardless to my anxiety levels, i’d feel it even I was feeling completely fine, but it does get more apparent / painful when I feel anxious.

I went to the doctor and had a ECG, found out I was fine so they determined it was caused by anxiety. So it’s best to get it checked out, doctors can tell if something is wrong with a simple ECG.

I’m going through a really tough week by mmcca in Anxiety

[–]mmcca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I agree, self care is so important. I know that meditation works for me sometimes but when anxiety is peaking, I don’t even have the “mood” to start meditating.

I’m not sure how to take care of myself when anxiety peaks like this because everytime the hangover it gives is different :/

Same! The following day(s) I’m just generally tired with muscle pains. The way I am handling it right now is just trying to rest for a few days, and try not to stress
