Anxiety when I am ill

[lollyann1]

I have other chronic health issues that really make me anxious when they occur as at present, The more I worry about my blood sugar levels, obviously the higher they rise.

Any help to reduce this awful pressure would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
Have you had any treatment for your anxiety, like CBT or counselling.
You will get control, try positive thinking etc
Sorry you have other chronic diseases
Do you have family/friends support?
Take care

Thanks for your reply. I am on a waiting list for cbt. I am finding it hard to cope with every day life; getting around, chores etc. So have been given a buggy which will help me get out without leg pain. I nearly crashed the buggy into a wall! I do not have any family and a few friends who have their own problems. I just hope the cbt will help me cope with the anxiety I feel. Normally I am very lively and happy go lucky. That is probably why I am finding it harder to cope. Had my Pancreas removed in 2009 and the Splenic Artery was accidentally cut during surgery so I have to take Penicillin for life due to an infarcted Spleen. At least I have passed my 7 year mortality so that is good!

Have you looked into CBD oil or GABA supplementation to help with the anxiety? Have you tried yoga breathing or meditation?
