Anxiety ?

Hi Everyone I'm seeing my GP tomorrow as I have finally plucked up the courage to talk about my anxiety and see what help and support is available. What are your experiences, what treatment/medication works for you?? Any advice very much welcomed ? Rebecca xx

Does anyone have heightened anxiety that’s different to normal anxiety. Like your system is working overtime and you have zero control over your emotional state . And your heart feels electric

My anxiety is off the charts since covid. I don’t think I can live alone anymore, really wish I could live with one of my kids. But I don’t think they want that, I need a solution

Anxiety?

I have had MS for 30+ years. I have SPMS. I'm very independent, and emotionally strong (or was). I 'feel' like I am having increased difficulty coping, not so much with my symptoms (because I think i'm doing really well, and I feel incredibly well), but with life in general. If I go anywhere (even w...

My appointment with the neurologist is 3 weeks away. It seemed when it was scheduled (back in July) that it was so far away. I'm so afraid that the neurologist won't listen to me or take me seriously. My doctor specifically told me at my last appointment with her "Do not let them dismiss you, you ne...

So when your scolding yourself say something li...

Anxiety

Hi All, A number of my posts have highlighted my continual weight loss. After many tests it appears that it is due to anxiety. I guess I’d overlooked this, but now I tend to wake up at 4am, the MS nurse feels it is anxiety. Having grown up with two alcoholics, albeit very loving, I’ve possibly al...

Are you a worrier ? Anxiety, depression

Hi and good evening ! I have read an article that says inflammation in the brain is caused by anxiety / depression . I can honestly say I have suffered with both of these before MS . How many of you are the same? Is their a link ?
