I turned 25 yesterday.
In July 2021 I had a stroke the day after my induction started with my first baby. He was born a week and a half later by emergency c section- four days after they started the second induction.
I should've recovered from my stroke but symptoms persisted. They wanted another MRI. It's shown scarring on my brain which shouldn't be as bad as it is. And now the radiographer is querying multiple sclerosis.
I just don't understand how all of this has happened in 7 months!
I've always had anxiety but had got to a really good point with it. Today has made it come back the worst it's been in almost two years. I feel like I can't breathe and don't know what to do. Waiting for neurologists and new tests is awful. I really thought I would be done with the tests after the last MRI.
I can't tell my parents and partner how anxious I am with this on top of everything else so I've put on a brave face since the call this afternoon. But my chest and head hurt.
How can I get the anxiety to ease again? This feels like all new territory again and it sucks!
Sorry for the post but I just don't know where else to turn
