I'm trying to look at it from a rational point of view, but my fears overpower that and makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible. I keep thinking "what if something is wrong with my liver, or something equally serious?" I've been constantly checking my skin and eyes for yellowness. Ugh. I hate my brain. And now I've written too much. Just wanted to vent that. Thanks for reading, if you did.
I'm sorry, I hope you both feel better soon.
What's wrong?
I'm sorry, I hope there's nothing serious though.Anxious, as usual. *Rolls eyes.* I was diagnosed with mild acid reflux at the beginning of the year. I would have a sour stomach or sour/acidic burps and Tums would take care of it. It had been like that for the most part. Up until recently, anyway. I have been getting a gnawing/burning sensation in my stomach, along with an occasional acidic burp. I saw my nurse practitioner about it last week and she prescribed me Omeprazole, but I found out that it interacts with my Lexapro and Clonazepam. I called her yesterday and told her. She checked her medical thing and said that it just popped up with a "caution" and it should be fine to take. I also talked to Shirley the nurse at the Counseling Center (where I go for therapy) and explained what was going on. She also recommended taking the medication if my acid reflux is making me miserable. I'm supposed to go pick up the Omeprazole from the pharmacy today. Needless to say, I'm scared to take it (I always am with new medications). I fear adverse reactions and such. I'm also afraid that it won't help my acidic stomach and that will indicate that it's something more serious, which terrifies me.

Why is that? :
*hugs* I hope you feel better soon
I'm sorry you feel that way, I hope you manage to do what you want so you can feel better again. Knowing the problem is an important step! I deal with black and white thinking sometimes too, deep inside I know it doesn't make sense, but at the moment there's nothing you can do.

You mustn't bottle it up, try to find some place you feel comfortable it. If not irl, you can always talk about it in here, or if you can't in public, you can send me a PM or message me on FB.
Whatever you do, I hope you feel better asap
