Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum, just joined a few days ago. I've been reading other peoples posts and chiming in here and there. I'm glad to see something like this where people can get advice and help each other.
I've had anxiety bad for about 7 years, off and on. Mostly on when I get sick or sidelined by injury/illness. I own a business and used to work non stop. For about the last year, I've been sick here and there, a few times to the point where I've had to be on bed rest. I'm injured now from the gym and have been for about 19 weeks. I went from anxiety free at the gym daily to sitting at home everyday, crying, overly anxious, slightly depressed, paranoid and overall just terrible feeling.
I can't workout yet, and I feel terrible, like my life is wasting away. Any advice for me? How do I keep a positive mindset with all of this?
My injuries:
Pinched nerves in both shoulders causing numbness in both arms from bench pressing at gym
Pinched nerves in butt muscles causing sciatica in both legs due to gym exercises
Swollen trap muscles due to bursitis in both shoulders from gym exercises sometimes causing dizziness, heavy head, stiff back
Acid reflux(severe) and indigestion
Sinus pressure/pain
I don't have much family. My husband is all I have. Hoping to get advice on how to cope with all this...
