[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2454681, member: 85785"] Hi and don't worry too much. Ok, I know all too well about being a control freak and having illogical anxiety about having a trauma that is worse than it should be. I would say that it is very similar to grieving, but because in your mind, it's you, that has lost probably your way of life and this has a more drastic changes in your brain, it's personal and that makes it worse. Part of the process, as you say to be positive about what you, and only you can do to alleviate the symptoms, you are doing well, but it is confusing, you are learning new skills to adapt to eating things that you have been eating all your life, your body is experiencing a big changes, and it does not like changes, you have to have the will and get through this. Writing and talking does relieve you. Is there someone you can talk to, a friend who will keep your feelings to themselves or a family member, so that you can voice your fears. I was lucky to get counselling because my GP who was Brilliant, recognised I was really struggling. Talk to your surgery, get an appointment. Talk, take positive action, be proactive and most importantly it is not too late and you can without feeling guilt, take it easy and be nice to you. Give orders to your family to let you have space and time to do whatever will give you solace. THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT. This sort of thing happens. Do not take it out on yourself or anybody else. Anxiety, it's like second guessing yourself, why, why, why? Am I doing this all wrong? That can't be right? Ill make sure. What do I have to do, should I do a list or write things down, whose birthday is it next, have I got shopping in? Do I need my mask? Are the family okay? Can I still go out to eat, can I drink, how low carb do I go, how much, do I have to give up? Am I doing enough exercise and so on and so on. There is a future, there will be times when you don't feel right, ups and downs, good days and the bad days. Baby steps, one day at a time. In the end it is you, with help, can do, what needs to be done, to get your life back on track. Keep asking, keep getting advice from here, there are plenty of success stories, you have to keep going and get your health issues sorted. One day, hopefully, this will be like a bad dream. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
