Hi all
I have been dealing with anxiety for over 20 years and at times it is so unbearable that I don't know what to do. In the past 5 years I have had uterine cancer and breast cancer. Currently I am ok with those but the anxiety monster is here and won't go away lately. I am not on meds as they tried a few and I am allergic to alot of meds so my dr is being cautious. I wake up in the middle of a sound sleep at night with hands and feet dripping in sweat as I wake up the same each morning and every morning I feel like this is the day something drastic will happen to me. It has affected me that i am scared to go out and driving is such an ordeal for me. As I sit here writing this my anxiety is bad as the keyboard is covered in puddles as my hands are dripping wet. I decided three months ago to go on weight watchers and loose weight as to do something for myself and take care of me and my health. Having lost 20 pounds I felt great about it however my family, friends and dr were criticising and some seemed jealous. My blood pressure is high because of my anxiety and this even scares me worse. I am on a bp med have been for about 9 years. I don't know what to do or who to turn to. I was told go see a counselor but my husband won't let me go and really cant afford the bills. I ask for someone to relate to me and tell me afterthing is going to be ok as today I dont feel that way or know what to do about it.
Thanks for listening.
