Anxiety — 1 year out

Im okay and will be just wonder if anyone else has experienced this. Im one year post op! Super grateful. 139lbs! God is good! However, im concerned. I know hormonal changes are inevitable. I use to have anxiety 12 years ago. My grandma passed 7 months ago and some life happend and it is back with a vegenance. From may-june ive been having insomnia and anxiety, and its been intense. It has calmed down but its been hard. I never considered that the intense change in my body could be a factor until tonight. Even the way my body responds to an attack is intense. Its different from when i was 217. Now at 139? Its alot. But im pressing through has it levels out everyday. Hoping im not alone

I'm wondering if the way you handle your anxiety now opposed to how you might have handled it before is what is actually different and why you're noticing it as more extreme, did you use food to self sooth? Perhaps this is why you're noticing it more is because you can't/don't have that option anymore and the lack of soothing with food ramps up the anxiety?

I don't know if that's what you used to do in anxious situations which is why I'm asking.. But if so its my guess opposed to it being something else. Plus, you've gone through a lot with surgery and your grandmother passing (sorry for your loss). Life can be riddled with anxiety inducing situations unfortunately.

From reading your posts, you're a strong woman and I have no doubts that you will tackle this head on and come out on top! Perhaps talking to a mental heath professional may help, I've never personally been a huge fan and haven't found them worthwhile, but for a lot of ppl it does help!

You've got this, just continue on being your strong self!
