Hello and welcome. I am not completely sure if you are in the right place, but the mental health forum may help you. You can go to that forum and there are many of us who experience similar feelings such as you.
When are the results available to you? Are you receiving therapy for the anxiety?

Please come back and let us know what the test results say. I will keep you in my prayers, and also sending healing thoughts to you...

Peace and Prayers,

Hi,

There are lots of us here, similar illnesses, different illnesses, but support and friendship for all.

I am treated for major depression and anxiety. Both of which are very cruel conditions in my experience. Fortunately my pdoc and the right med cocktail have me as normal as I can be, and that is a very big deal to me, I appreciate it beyond measure. Even tho' you will often hear me griping and moaning.

I hate the way they leave people in limbo waiting for test results. It is cruel.

When things get really tough for me, I go by the Just for Today thought that just for today I can endure something that would apall me to put up with for the rest of my life.

One day at a time.

You might want to check out the mental health forum for depression, it has tons of "stickies" information and coping techniques.
I am less familiar with this forum even tho' I also have PTSD.

hugs,

I often felt too raw to expose myself to others and to interact, I met a young woman today whom we discovered we both had found comfort in taking late night strolls, not being seen, but enjoying the peace and calm of the night stars and fresh air. I do hope you get out, in my experience the longer you wait the harder it gets.
