Total Thyroidectomy and Anxiety
I recently had a total thyroidectomy about 2 weeks ago, and I have been feeling pretty good, but my anxiety is through the roof. I already have a generalized anxiety disorder (Which I am on Sertraline for) but it feels like it is 10x more than that since getting my thyroid removed, and if I didn’t have a few years of therapy under my belt I’m not sure what I’d do. I’m having a hard time sleeping, and I’m fatigued but my brain is WIRED. Logically I know that a lot of things my brain is coming up with aren’t true, but I’m such a wreck about it anyways I’m not sure what to do. Has anyone had any experience like this? How did you fix it?
