I'm tired and I want to give up.

A year ago I quit my warehouse job because I physically couldn't keep up. My heart would beat too fast, I would get dizzy and have sharp pains. Fast forward to today and I still get the same symptoms. I'm now a nanny for a 1 year old baby girl but I struggle to keep up. I can't eat anything with lots of carbs, can't have caffeine or lots of sugar, and I can't over do it with exercise. I'm good for walking and light swimming but that's about it. I meet my 3rd new doctor in a week. My 1st doctor caught random episodes of racing heart but brushed me off and my 2nd I lost due to moving so I haven't been officially diagnosed with anything.

I'm beyond tired. I'm frustrated. I'm becoming bitter. My whole life is so different than from before my illness. I miss out on events if they are too physical. I can't enjoy the foods and drinks I once did. I don't drink anymore. I know my next appointment is close but I've been so disappointed and on days like today I want to be done with everything. I don't even know if I'd consider this living or just surviving.

Surviving sometimes has to be good enough to get us to where we can live again. You can do it!

Have you done something for the anxiety?

@DownTheStreet I haven't. I've been on anxiety meds 2 different times though and it helps me so I may look into it again.

@AnxietyGirl yeah, should prob get on them stay on them and get some stability back in your life :)
