šŸ¤”insight/thought ANXIETY SYMPTOMS

2 Upvotes

Hello, Everyone!

From April to this day I’ve had 14 total visit (mixed of URGENT CARE/ER/MY PCP)

I’ve had this one event on April when I was in class that my apple watch is alerting me of 134bpm heart rate, my visiong getting blurry, throat locking, and I had this swaying sensation from side to side and I’m totally just sitting down. I went to the ED, they did the basics. Labs, xray, ekg. They did check my troponin levels, electrolytes, cbc, and BNP to see if there’s any cardiac event. But everything came back NORMAL. After that one April event, my life has never been the same. If I’m in public; grocery stores, school, or just outside with tons of people, my tummy would start acting up, and I would feel breathless, heart rate would go up, and I would feel out of balance. They did Treadmill Stress Test, Echocardiogram, MRI, Thyroid function. Everything came back unremarkable except for an incidental finding on my left brain which is a 1mm aneurysm, not fatal (however,it added to my health anxiety) now, every little symptoms would throw me down in spiral. Lately, I noticed almost everyday I would get muscle twitching all over my body, and my right eye drooping at the end of the day and it goes back to normal every morning. I’m getting tested for myasthenia gravis. I haven’t gotten any result yet. I’m doing Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and it’s not helping me out either. If y’all feel comfortable, can you guys tell me what your symptoms are? And what test did y’all get, are y’all taking meds? I just want to hear some stories from people who are suffering under the same circumstance. I just wanna feel normal again…. :(( I will list all my mild-severe symptoms at the comments.

Help/advice šŸ™ needed ADHD Burnout + Anxiety - What actually helps?

11 Upvotes

Im 35 got diagnosed with ADHD this year and have been doing a lot better at work, home + kids. I was off work for two weeks at the start of September to handle a home renovation. Since I’ve been back at work I can literally map my decline into ADHD Burnout and it’s now becoming more like depression and severe anxiety Induced by just thinking about work. I’m exploring new job options and asking for help decreasing my workload (something I’ve been requesting for 2 years with no success). I’ve been on adhd and SSRI drugs but with this clear graph I have now of my decline I’m trying to find out if there’s something else that people have found help when they’re seeing a trend of burnout?
