Hi @Lythe,
I’m sorry to hear you are struggling and also about your son. I hope you received some good news today re your test results.
At my first yearly check up I had what they called a change in my breast tissue. They did a biopsy and thankfully i didn’t have to wait too long for the results and that it came back clear.
I have also struggled with Anxiety for quite some time. I was seeing a therapist for a few years. My anxiety kept manifesting in all different ways. Not least of all I would wake up first thing in the morning and feel it wash straight over me. It wasn’t until I was at work one day and my heart was beating strangely that I freaked out (was worried I might end up having a heart attack or something) and went to see a GP just to be safe. They ended up telling me that I should go on Effexor (which I wasn’t taking at the time). The added benefit being that it would also help with my hot flushes.
I have to say, for me, the Effexor has been a life saver. But probably not something you want prescribed for your son given how young he is. Perhaps he might benefit from seeing a psychologist?
Sending lots of positive thoughts your way xo
