u/She-wayout

My world is getting smaller and smaller..I was doing really well for a year or so, and now its all coming back. A 3 minute car ride is too much. Everything feels like too much. My heart races, I get short of breath, sweaty, feels like im dying...and now im scared it's something other than agoraphobia and its triggering my hypochondria. Im feeling so depressed. Missing out on a concert tomorrow for Noah Kahan, my favorite artist, because I just simply cant do it....

8 days out from my period and im doing what I always do...the whole "is it anxiety and pmdd or is something really wrong with me?" Feeling like im letting everyone down by being too anxious to go anywhere...anxiety is sky high and always think I need to go to the ER...Short of breath per usual. Just...sad.

Tw??

Is anyone else terrified that their snxiety is a symptom of an undiagnosed health issue?

My symptoms are air hunger, heat intolerance, panic attacks, night sweats, OCD... the air hunger really scares me. :(

27, female, non smoker.

I figured this may help some of you with anxiety, like myself.. I had all 4 wisdom teeth very decayed and falling apart. I let it go for years until I got an abcess 3 weeks ago. I was in SEVERE pain..When I made the appointment to get my wisdom teeth out, It was a week out and my mental health started to decline. A lot.

I called a crisis team to come assess me because to me, the dentist felt like a death sentence...either I was going to have some anaphalactic reaction and die on the spot or a panic attack that would make my heart race and kill me. I looked into crisis residential programs and did everything I could to try and go inpatient somewhere because my depression and anxiety were so severe over my teeth...

Once the day came to get them out, I almost walked right out. My MIL held me down and they explained what they were going to do, and I fought it up until the anesthesia knocked me out. (Which i was so certain I would never wake up from.)

I woke up 20 minutes later and was numb, and high. Not scary high, just goofy. But I remember the goofy part.

No more than an hour after getting to the oral surgeon I was home with my dogs and my depressive episode subsided...im now cleared to eat what I want, the pain was VERY manageable, and its over...

I wish I had gotten it done sooner!!!! Dont let your anxiety win!!! 🥰
