Kellie, I'm so sorry. Anxiety is very real and really messes with our bodies. I hope you find some answers soon that will help you navigate this. I also wish there were concrete solutions. I sure haven't found any.
I have suffered from anxiety since I was a small child. Some of the things that happened to me then still make me very anxious if I let myself think about them. Oddly, I've never been treated for anxiety. I have been treated for depression though.
This week my anxiety is through the roof. I'm so grumpy. I can't focus on anything, and I feel very antsy and 'blah'. It is hard to explain. I know exactly why I am feeling it though, so I am trying to ride it out. I return to work next week and I am starting a new position. I'm not anxious about the new position as much as letting go of the old one. That probably makes no sense, but I loved my job of the last 8 years and felt like part of my identity was rooted in my position. Now I will be doing something new and I feel a loss.
