I Feel Like a Fool

Hi Gina and Lulu, I am very glad my tests were good, just frustrated that these headaches and eye problems will not go away it scares me, I was almost hoping the Doctor would say I needed prescription glasses, it would of explained so much. I never knew anxiety could effect your vision, I am flabbergasted about what it has done to my body, I have asked God if it can not be taken away just to ease it so I can function and be a normal Mother I have faith one day he will help me and all of us. I hate to go off the Paxil and start all over I hope the side effects ease and the relief comes that is what I am praying for. God bless you, Debbie.

Hi Debbie i truly believe its a combination of anxiety and some side effects from the paxil im glad your head scan gave you some peace of mind you need to find some things that you enjoy doing and practice relaxation techniques because i know with me the more i focus on a 'symptom' the worse it feels when your not focusing on it it dosnt have the power to feed your anxiety so it gradually disappears(hope that makes sense)You have been through difficult times before with your anxiety and made it out ok you will be ok this time too.We all know just how scary it can be but your giving your anxiety to much power give the power back to Debbie stand up and say im not going to let this anxiety take another day from me its not worth it.Its just a fear a scary fear yes but its still just a fear.You can beat it Debbie.Take care. Lulu..

I feel very stupid. I spent 5 hours in an emergency room and went to the eye Doctor today to find out what is causing these horrible headaches and blurred vision, and noone can tell me, I hope its not the Paxil after 3 weeks I do not want to start another new med and start all over again with new side effects, I feel the Paxil is slightly lifting the depression, I am not crying as much and feel not as sad unfortunalty it is not helping the panic, I hope its not making it worse, the nurse said hopefully these side effects will go away I hope so, I so much want to be better, my friend told me I am going to lose everyone and everything if I do not get better and shape up and that puts so much pressure on me, can anxiety be causing all this? I do not want to "doctor-hop" its so frustrating to have these scary symptoms for days and days and not be told whats wrong or how to treat it. THis disorder has robbed me of my life and I so want it back, I am missing out on my sons life and thats killing me. I guess I just needed to vent, I do not know where to go or what to do to get better, do I have to live like this the rest of my life? I do not think I can do that that would be unbearable because I feel half dead anyway. Thank you for listening while I vent please pray for me that I at least recover half way. Thank you, Debbie.
