Hello everyone,
I have been dealing with thyroid issues since 2014. Ever since the first time I had a panic attack, it's like my thyroid went off and I haven't been the same since. Since Winter 2025 I have been feeling completely off. I wake up in the morning and feel like I'm in a state of almost derealization. It doesn't feel like morning. I'm awake, doing work at my job and going along with the motions but it feels like something isn't turned on completely. Add in the random anxiety, stomach nervousness after eating meals, etc. It's hard for me to even get out of the house as I'm worried about dealing with these symptoms in social settings as it makes me extremely uncomfortable.
I do take medicine for my mental health, but I truly believe it stems from my thyroid not being right. Can anyone relate? What steps did you take with your Dr to help things get in the right direction of feeling better or finding some relief? Are there specific tests you ask for when getting blood work?
I would sincerely appreciate any feedback. I'm a father and a husband, and I feel this has been taking me downhill to where I'm not fully myself in these roles and it weighs on me heavily.
Thanks for reading.
