My depression and anxiety has madee hit rock bottom.?!
Question: My depression and anxiety has madee hit rock bottom!.!?
I have hit rock bottom, and I don't know what to do!. I am a stay at home mom, so I have all day and most of the night to think of these negative thoughts!. A few months ago, I was so sure I had lymphoma (a friend died of it), then a lump in my neck (which I had taken out, it was nothing) now, after two of my online friends (I don't know them personally) have been diagnosed with a brain tumor (one cancer, one is not), I am SO convinced that I have a tumor too!. It's gotten so bad, I have every symptom that are on every google list of brain tumor symptoms - I have the "cancerous" symptoms, of course!. I've had depression, anxiety and ocd most of my life, but after being diagnosed with PPD, it's sprung out of control, for fear of dying and leaving my children w/o a mother!. It's gotten so out of control right now that my husband and I don't know what to do or how to handle this!. I'm seeing a therapist and am on meds, but the thoughts are still there, I can't stay away from google searching for symptoms of everything I feel!. I don't know if they're normal or abnormal!. In the past week, I've been to the eye doctor and had a tooth extracted, and I'm still "feeling" pain that relate to a "brain tumor" that nobody says I have!. I don't know how to live happy!. I feel like I don't deserve to live happy!. I want a happy life!. I don't want to live like this anymore!. I love my kids and husband more than anything in this world and I want them to have the old "me" back!. HELP! Is there anything anyone can suggest!? I have heard of Lucinda Basset's program really working, but we don't have the $60/mo for 8 monts to pay for it!. I don't know how to fix myself!.

Awww, the million dollar work-up!. I know I did and a lot of people spend a tremendous amount of money going to different Dr!.'s not wanting but almost hoping that they will find just something so it can be cured and they will have an answer and everything can be back to normal!. PLEASE do not waste your money on the Lucinda Basset program!. I tried it years back and she gives you the same information you can get out of books but also you hear all these testimonials at the end and if you are not feeling better yet!.!.!.well, I know it just made me more upset!. I am still in therapy and have done much healing and work on my anxiety and I tend to say I want to be like the old "me"!. My therapist is great but at first when I would say that I would get so frustrated with her reply!. You will never be your old self!. Of course, I got confused, but I now know and realize that what she was/is saying is that you have to get to the root of what's causing your anxiety and while doing that you will make positive changes!. Your anxiety was an underlying problem something just happened to set it off!. Maybe you can talk to your Dr!. about different meds!. or even talk to your therapist about seeing her more often if possible!. Does your therapist do EMDR or EFT (tapping) (you should be able to look under Gary Craig to get information on it)!. They work great for anxiety and you can google or yahoo them!. Unfortunately, it takes time but you can and will get better!. I wish you the best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
