Thank you for thinking of me. Things just feel like piling up when you suffer from anxiety. I had to have a tooth pulled last week. That was traumatic dealing with anxiety everyday. Then after long trip from that I started spotting. I was so stressed out. The next day my husband and I went to immediate care. Had ultrasound done. No masses. But was told a little thickening of lining. My age of 66 was always told if you bleed it’s not good. Then physician assistant said ultrasound doesn’t pick up cancer. So I have to follow up with my gyne. I just had my checkup in March. I was even told at my age you don’t have to go every year. On her way out she even said if you have problems or bleed come back. Can’t see her this week. I hardly know her anyway. Only seen her twice. I’ll be seeing someone I don’t know. OMG. All of this more stress. I’m suppose to go for a scope/colonoscopy in June. I have GERD and should have the other end checked. I don’t do well with anesthesia. Plus having this anxiety I know it will be bad before and afterwards. I get nauseous and restless when I wake up and scared. I’ve been trying breathing exercise. Can’t relax. Just too much for me to handle. Nothing helps. My husband is always trying to help. I’m having trouble coping. I worry about everything. Scared of everything. Pandemic ruined me plus being a worrier. Sorry for such a long reply. Again thank you for your concern. Flo
