Thanks breh. I’m fighting it off.

I was on medication but wanted to get off because I didn’t want to be dependent on it. I might have to get back on it :wow:

I can understand not wanting to be on a prescription. Especially if it takes away from other aspects of your liIf you find that your anxiety is adversely affecting your life E.I job, health, relationships etc it may be worth it.

I had a brief period in my life like this brehito, as long as you got checked out and everything looks clear you just gotta let things go. It sound crazy but just accepting that life is fleeting and it may be your time to go so there's no use stressing about will put you in a better spot. Stay active and do some type of cardio/walking, you'll sleep better and help control your anxiety level

Also understand that getting better isn't linear, you'll feel great for a day or two then be right in a panic and that's okay. Btw do you happen to take any type of nasal sprays?

Yes. Flonase for allergies.

True. It’s really bad this winter. I always get the seasonal depression.

Flonase can give some individuals anxiety, it does for me. Look it up online, you'll read countless stories of folks struggling with anxiety while on it. Switch to an oral allergy medication like Zyrtec or Claritin for a couple weeks and see how you feel. If you need some type of spray just use a saline mist

This is 100% real talk, stop that shyt tomorrow. When I made the connection I threw that shyt straight into the trashcan. It'll take a few days to flush out your system

I know an ER nurse and she said she’s sick and tired of muthafukkas going there because webmd or some other google search told them to go to there.

You should get out more and stay active. I had a similar situation during Covid where I was feeling sick but the doctors couldn't find anything. While what I experienced was real, I gave myself anxiety by attributing every symptom I got to every new disease that matched it. Eventually everything just went away with no diagnosis but what lingered was the anxiety. What got me out of that was going out and dealing with the real world. You'd think your feeling sick now until you actually go and something you have to do then realize you wasn't even feeling that sick.

Now if you did something that you shouldn't be doing and using Google as your lifeline, I don't know what to tell you breh.

Take a look back and realize how often you have been wrong about whatever you thought you had..

Prayer redacted,just in case.:respect:


Note to the peanut gallery,never threaten to pull up on a righteous black man. This could get bad for your physical/spiritual health.

Also we welcome health anxiety,this is possibly discernment at play.

If I had to guess I would say your eating like shyt,too much uric acid,,not enough water,need a liver reboot and possibly not getting enough sunlight.
