I think my I have hypo thyriodisim. The reason is because I have never felt like this. Only in the past 5 years. And the past week has been just awful. I found out that one of my cousin's has hypo thyriod. It runs in my family. And i feel like I am losing my mind. i am so scared. I cannot explain the way I feel to no one. But it's feels like my anxiety, ocd and depression has went into over drive. Am I losing my mind? Does hypo thyroid make you lose your mind? I know it causes mental problems but I can barely eat because of the anxiety inside of me. I am very scared right now. I tend to over dramatize things and I don't want this to be one of them. I am going to make an appt. with my family doc. And hopefully he can see me tomarrow. And help me. I am freaking out so bad. I have heard of older women who have lost their minds due to this. And I have two sons and a husband that I love so much and I am scared that my problems will tear us apart because I am so scared and nervous all the time. Whenever I don't let my son's do things they want because they are grounded or I don't have the time, I feel so bad. I can't hardley leave the house these past few weeks. Today I thought was gonna be a half way decent day I felt good and got up early aand went out to probate my mom's will but i had'nt slept very good and I avoid caffinne cause it seems to make my syptoms worse so I am very tired. So mabye thats why I am scared so bad right now but I feel sick to my stomach. Has anyone ever took Synthroid for this? Did it have any adverse side affects like worsening depression and anxiety and ocd? I heard it does some people that way. Zoloft did me that way and now I am scared to take anything what so ever. So I am really apprehensive about Synthyroid. My grandmother and cousin takes it and they swear by it. They say it does'nt have any bad side affects, but the way I think is that it adjusts your hormones and that has to mess with you somehow. I think i am worrying myself litterally sick over all this stuff goin on with me right now. I am scared I hope some one replies to this tonight so I can get a little peace of mind. Sorry I am just rambiling but I don't know what else to do. I don't have anyone to talk to and I am scared.
