I am a 28-year-old female who has been suffering with anxiety/ panic attacks since I was 21. I would say I have been in this situation 6 times, each time lasting 3 months. I started having panic attacks back when I was 21 and went to the emergency telling the doctors I was having a heart attack..lol. but somewhere the panic attacks stopped and anxiety stepped in. I notice that this happens to me every time I try to lose weight. I do not really understand why because I only drop my calories to about 1500, as soon as I lose 5 pounds I become extremely fatigue, nervous, dizzy, extremely nauseous, and worry about the stupidest things.
When the anxiety symptoms started, I went to every doctor telling them of my symptoms because I thought I was dying of everything. I lost about 30 pounds three years ago and had extreme anxiety that someone finally convinced me to go on an antidepressant. I went on Lexapro and with in days I was normal. The only thing is I gained my 30 pounds back. I got off the Lexapro and was fine for two years until I lost about 20 pounds and started getting anxiety about a year ago. I really didn't want to go back on meds so I tried taking B complex and Magnesium, which stopped all anxiety.
I just got married and lost weight and here again is my anxiety. I am so tired of it and need to vent. I am so tired of worrying about stupid things and worried about getting sick. I have a great job, family, and husband. Who all probably think I am nuts!!!! I need to try taking the vitamins again. I know this may sound stupid but I have to talk myself into taking the vitamins because I hate taking anything.
My husband was staining a piece of wood, which smelt really bad. I thought we were going to die of toxic poising. I got really bad headaches and just kept worrying. I had to talk myself into taking Tylenol. How stupid!! I finally went to the doctors and it was a sinus infection. I mean, I know how ridiculous I am but its like I can't control it. I wish this would stop. I have been having all the symptoms on the list.
Nice to meet everyone.
Anyway thanks for listening!!
