Aibu to still have issues relating to emergency

[Sunshinerainbows123]

So I am really struggling with panic attacks and general anxiety dating back to Last November. I out of know where had crippling pain and passed out I then woke up briefly in an ambulance and then remember nothing until I woke up in intensive care. I suffered ovarian torsion that caused sepsis. I had to have my left ovary and Fallopian tube removed and a blood transfusion. I was in hospital for quite a long time with iv antibiotics due to the sepsis.
So that's the background! I still can't get over what happened I know I should feel lucky that I'm ok and I have been lucky enough to have children already. I just can't seem to get back to my normal self at all since this happened. I went back to work in January and realise this was now months ago so should not be thinking about this anymore. I went to my gp and they said I sounded like I had a bit of anxiety but nothing to be concerned about my family think that I should have gotten over it and I do agree. So aibu to be still getting in a panic about what happened to me?

Yanbu. Sorry to hear this. It's sounds very much like you could have ptsd. Have you looked into counselling?

It is not uncommon to have psychological effects following an itu admission. I would contact the unit you were in and see if they offer any psychological service for previous patients. If not, please contact your gp and say you have symptoms of ptsd. Counselling can help, and in some cases visiting the unit you were on, to try and make sense of what happened to you.
I'm sorry you are experiencing this x

That's a big thing to go through, I'd think ptsd too.

Take care of yourself and definitely seek support.

Thank you I will look at those sites now. Feel silly going back to drs as they said all seemed ok. Just sick of fussing nightmares and panicy and not myself.

The dr may have said all seemed ok, but you are obviously not ok! Don't be afraid to return and ask for help.
