I’ve been trying to stay off this site as per my therapist’s advice but I’m just going crazy. My dr. says I have catastrophic thinking and Somatization but my problems are real! All caused by anxiety and depression. Constant palpitations are just one of my issues and every test comes back normal yet I’m on Metoprolol 50 for high blood pressure among others which I’m not pleased about. All this time I’m believing the medical conditions are causing my anxiety yet it seems it’s the opposite that’s true and the cure is therapy, meditation and medication. So why am I still suffering?

I talk to my therapist about it. Deferentiating between anxiety induced ailments vs, those that aren’t can be tricky. I have conversations with myself a lot to keep it in check. Also, I believe it when a test says I’m ok. If my heart sounds good, I believe it. When my labs are good. I believe it. I feel very healthy, strong and energetic. So, that means I’m very healthy. I can’t be certain that I don’t have something, but I will log the symptoms and discuss it with my doctor, if they persist. I have the adrenaline rushes, but not nearly as often as I used to.

Post covid syndrome does cause me distress, but I won’t let it ruin my life. I will put my wellness ahead of post covid. I’ve worked on tapping, self soothing and exercise to help adjust. It’s a daily thing for me. Most of my LC symptoms have subsided. And, what I thought was neuropathy is dissipating too. So, I have a lot to be grateful for. I try to do multiple affirmations during the day that I am healthy, strong and focused. It’s a struggle when I have symptoms, but it usually helps. I see my doctor regularly and that helps. Routine screenings are prudent and help ease my anxiety. I hope that by next year at this time, I will be free.
