Hello Cherrymom!
What you go through sounds a lot like what I go through. I’ve had anxiety and depression for many years. I also slip into Hypochondriasis when I have let things get out of control, which leads me to be quite obsessive about various things (health wise mind you). But I’ll be doing so great, and then BAM! All of a sudden things aren’t great and I feel like these things are taking over my life and I’m without any ability to control it. It’s frustrating because all I want is to feel amazing and happy (like when I’m doing great) everyday! Have you ever thought about going to a psychologist? They are a little different than a psychiatrist. I’ve found it very helpful. Some of the health issues we have can be helped by both medicines (if you’re taking some) and talking to someone. I’ve also found that just pushing myself to do things like working out, when I really don’t feel like, is a blessing in disguise. Once you get yourself doing at least one thing that you love, even if you have to push yourself, you might find it’ll start relieving some of the anxieties.
I hope you start feeling better soon!:)
