Hi,
I feel almost a fraud for writing on here because I'm actually feeling a lot better with my normal pvfs symptoms/glandular fever (feeling totally off my head, unable to read properly/ Unccordination) I think I'm finally coming out the other side of it. Although still have swollen glands/sore throat/headache.
However, I feel like the final hurdle is getting over my extreme anxiety (which I didn't have before the illness) and insomnia which has gotten worse in the past few weeks since taking chalrithromycin.
I feel sense of dread all the time as if something awful is going to happen to me/I'm going to go insane even though I know this can't happen. I think it's because I was totally off my head for 18months with the illness.
I just feel general anxiety about nothing, and can't sleep because of it. I also have a fear that I'm actually losing my mind. i feel like my brain can't get over the trauma of being ill (even though I wasn't seriously ill) but I did have extremely debilitating symptoms. And now I feel the insomnia and anxiety is stopping me making the most of my new found "health".
The weird thing is I'm not anxious about normal things like work/uni/relationships... I'm just anxious in myself and about sleeping.
What do you think the best solution would be?
I've tried herbal stuff with no success.
