Change in anxiety symptoms

Posted by lma84 @lma84, Jan 12 5:21am

I suffer from anxiety, mainly around my own health. Curious to know if others notice a change in the physical symptoms that anxiety produces, over time? Current flare up seems to have produced different symptoms again.

So here are a few thoughts and I am just throwing these out there. These might have no relative value in the situation you are facing. It’s been over two years since husband died. Did this illness come all of a sudden? Did he have the time to get treatment? How did he do if he did get treatment? Was there closure or a process of saying goodbye? Death affects everyone differently. Especially spouses. They become one in life but lost when alone. Maybe you have to redefine who you are. A grandmother. A widow. A person it seems still in mourning. When you wake up to face a new day what takes you back in missing your husband. Of feeling that loss all over again. Early morning depression does go away as the day wears on. Again this may have no relevance to what your going thru. But for me in the morning. That too would hit me hardest if my wife died. There is no substitute no matter how hard I may try to say I love you and miss you when I am by myself. A new day unfolds but little to look forward to.

In reply to @barb6060 "I understand and you are correct. After my husband passed in December of 2022 I moved..." + (show)

@barb6060 you are very new to your current change, but I think you will do just fine, once you settle into your new life. You seem to be doing all the right things to get to your “happy place” - and I believe you will, in (short) time!
