Hi Everyone...
Im Jenn and my anxiety has gotten the best of me lately.. I was diagnosed with some heart issues, SVT, and from there things went downhill. I have always been a somewhat anxious person but it is moving towards extreme. I constantly am obsessing over my physical condition by Googling everything I can on the subject which leads me to diagnose myself with new disorders. Every little move inmake, I think it is going to cause a heart attack.. a little heartburn, yep that's a heart attack in my mind.. I cant function at work effectively and find myself sitting in my office in the dark just waiting for something negative to happen .. I am by trade a psych nurse, so you would think I could apply my 10+ years of mental health experience to myself but forget about it... I can't eat because I'm afraid what I eat will cause something to go wrong in my body... I am going through multiple test now, had a stress test and echo yesterday and stress test didn't show anything significant but that didn't ease my fears.. I'm always in panic mode.. I have been taking ativan .5, usually 1 and that isn't even taking the edge off.. I'm so at a loss as to what I should do.. my fear and anxiety is holding me hostage.. :(
