Breaks my heart there's someone in my life who needs to hear this video, but they're in denial of the situation and won't consider meds anymore at the moment due to fear. But not very many things in their life, if any, are in my control as a family member, and the stoic in me finds comfort in that. Thanks Kimberly, your book has been useful in our life even if it's collecting dust at the moment. Why can't we clone therapists such as yourself so more people would get quality help!
I have almost all these fears... I'm supposed to take meds to help me sleep at night because I suffer from nocturnal panic attacks... I'm up late tonight because taking my meds has made me so nervous I can't sleep 😢
i got put on antibiotics. my only fear was that they would be large. they are huge. i have to take two for 10 days and im only on day 6 and today i almost choked. i always end up shaking and not being able to even swallow plain water. sometimes i even choke on food. i dread having to take my medications. i’m just happy they aren’t capsules so i can at least cut them
Hi Kimberly, your presence on the internet is soothing. I've been a long-time listener of your podcast, and I am so grateful for you. I want to contribute to "I did a hard thing". Where can I send my story?
You have really helped me refrain my thoughts. I took new meds after watching this , it was hard and I’m having a few side effects but I’m not pushing them away I’m monitoring them and will talk to my GP if I need to.
I was addicted to my anti depressant & anxiety meds for years..that when I quit I actually developed a fear of taking medication..even as simple as Ibuprofen. I have a fear that it will cause me to have a panic attack..
I did a gene test through my primary doctor. Turns out I have a variant that impacts 75% of all prescription drugs. Good to finally have my experience with medication validated! The test indicated 2 medications I could take and 20+ I shouldn't! Now I have ammunition for my anxiety about anxiety meds!!!
Thanks for this video & emotional help. I always try to remind myself the reason I'm taking them in the first place, then I ask myself does the good outweigh the bad? Then I try to find some gratitude & acceptance.
I am afraid of an anaphylactic reaction to antibiotics. I am a nurse and know it is real. I need to take the antibiotic for a dental procedure. My fear is of dying from a reaction. Living so far away from the hospital is worse fear of dying from a reaction is a lot to overcome. Like going to the dentist lol
A few years back i had a bad allergic reaction to an antidepressant that i was put on.. thats was ok i got off it its on my allergy list drs know thats a big no no... my problem is i now am afraid of all medications. I recently had an abscess tooth with an emergency root canal done and i have been a ball of anxiety all week due to having to take these antibiotics and ibuprofen... how can i calm this anxiety.. i know i have to take them so i do but im mentally struggling everyday
She has an Australian accent but then sounds a little american as well. Anyone struggling geert love panic attacks helped me alot and I hope everyone checks that course out
I am literally scared to take my asthma inhaler. Whenever i have breathing issues I just sit thru it and breathe it out because i refuse to touch it. I dont know why
I’m not afraid but I fear the side effects and I always get dizziness when I take a new medication or supplement even if dizziness isn’t listed as a side effect. Could that be from anxiety induced dizziness?
yes, when i get overwhelmed from my anxiety i get dizzy and disoriented very easily. My anxiety is very physical for me and medication side affects scare me like crazy. I hope that helps and i want you to know that you aren’t alone
