Feeling scared and sad
Everyday I wake up and the first thing I say is, “God, please don’t let this be here with me today.” Each day it is. How much longer will I feel like this? I regret the day I ever discovered that I suffer with anxiety, something that happened after my husband died and how I ever regret telling my family that I suffer with it. When I am sick, everyone tells me it is all in my head.
Each morning I feel horrible. I feel dizzy, my eyes are blurred, (my eye exam came out great) I feel as though I am driving through a tunnel, that is how plugged my ears feel. My jaw cracks, my teeth hurt, my neck is in pain…
I have gone to the doctor’s over and over and over again…
only to be told I have severe drainage in my ear and post nasal drip. Can post nasal drip really cause all these symptoms? How long will I have to live with this? I feel so depressed and so alone. Once so healthy, now I dread getting up in the morning because I know when I get up, I will not be feeling well. I have to live with this pain because no one believes me that I feel this way.
I go to the doctor’s on Monday and I am going to insist that they send me to a Nose, Throat and Ear specialist. The medicine I was given for the ear problem and nasal drip problem is not helping.
Does anyone out there relate to any of my symptoms? I am scared. Sometimes I wonder if I have a tumor because it is so hard to believe that nasal problems could cause such severe pain, anxiety, etc. It feels like my head it totally clogged up or something.
