[QUOTE="IronLioness, post: 2283812, member: 492004"] Hi all, I've been a little on the quiet side as I've been just focusing on managing my T2, I'm still in remission, 2 years since diagnosis now, but this Coronavirus pandemic is now REALLY starting to trigger me, a LOT..... I was OK at the start, I've been focusing on lockdown and keeping myself healthy, but having read about various evidence of the deaths and long term damage being caused by or related to blood clots - I find myself (anxiety) rising again.... I had a DVT - a big one (femoral artery in my mid thigh to ankle) in 2015 which then broke off and turned in bilateral Pulmonary Embolisms, both lungs were FULL of clots. It was an horrific experience, it took its toll on my mental health and almost caused me a **** near meltdown, until I flipped it on its head and turned into 'fight' mode. I smashed the clots within 9 months but the whole thing was a trauma on my mind from start to finish. I'm finding the anxiety rising because I know first hand what it's like to [I]not[/I] be able to breathe, the clots were in my lungs.... It's the worst feeling in the world, and 2nd is taking blood thinner, which adds a whole new trigger to the mind, because I was so afraid of cutting myself and bleeding out, which actually DID happen. I broke a mirror on my foot 2 weeks after being on warfarin, the mirror cut right through my foot, and ended in 2 months off of my feet as it damaged tendons/nerves etc. I'm trying to stay focused on being healthy,and managing my T2, but the more news I see/read which mentions blood clots and T2 are prevalent in provoking the severe symptoms occurring, well, it's on my mind a lot and I find myself being brought back into the mindset when I was diagnosed with the blood clots. I've tried reducing my access to news alerts and general C19 info, but it's there, simmering away in my mind.. I just wondered if anyone else has been through similar and feeling triggered (as heck!) - if you are, how are you coping with being triggered? [/QUOTE]
