Just an update for those of you interested. Last week I saw an endo for my over-medicated thyroid problem. I am hypo-thyroid, and started on natural meds 8 months ago. The endo concluded that the natural meds were too strong for my system and were really affecting me with anxiety, jitters, shaking, ...

HI Mrs. T Bones,

Thanks for the beautiful post on trust. Just what I needed to hear today.

My biggest challenge with anxiety is upon waking up in the AM. It seems like within seconds of opening my eyes my brain has already sent a signal to my body that I am going to be anxious for the day. I am also dealing with having a wide open schedule - with not much on my plate each day,a s I have r...

Wondering if anyone has thyroid problems that aggravate anx/dep? I am hypo thyroid, but recently found out that I am over medicated to the point I have hyper thyroid symptoms - which include anxiety, panic, shaking, jitters, sweating, loss if appetite, insomnia - al of which i am experiencing. I als...

Hello, I haven't been here for awhile either. But I am experiencing anxiety and some depression again. Have decided to go through the program again. Also started back onto Lexapro, this time it seems to be taking longer to be as effective as it was the last time. At my doctor's request, I have taken...

Rosaslie1, I understand how you feel - I have experienced anxiety- shakiness - uneasiness that would last for hours if not all day.

I hear you on wondering if the sensation are in your head or not. I know as a person prone to anxiety, I tend to over-react to many sensations I feel. That is something I really have to work on. As long as the tests are clear and your doctor doesn't feel anything abnormal, all you can do is trust in...

Thanks for the encouragement. I am feeling much better - I guess I didn't realize that anesthesia can cause you to feel a bit depressed after surgery. I have had low thyroid for about 5 years and have been taking levothyroxine for it. About 7 months ago I started feeling very fatigued and was findin...

I am just 4 days out from having a thyroid nodule removed. The great news is that there was no cancer! I am feeling pretty lethargic - which is pretty normal after undergoing surgery, but I must admit it is harder to keep positive thoughts flowing right now. I am really trying hard not to be too har...

Lookingfor'Me", You do have a lot on your plate, but there is hope! Congrats for coming back to this program and desiring to find your peace. Remember to take this healing process one day at a time - maybe even one moment at a time if that is what it takes. Take responsibility for your actions and r...
