Anxiety

My symptoms have been progressively worsening this week. I told my doctor and all I got was a few head nods. Is this a normal response? Is this what I should expect? I am not sure to be upset or just accepting the idea of this is my new normal. I hate talking about it because the last visit I had I ...

I feel like my anxiety is through the roof. Everything just feels a bit too much right now. Trying to find the balance with work is hard.

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...
