Does everyone going through this feel like they are losing their minds? I cant keep my crap together. I can't comfort myself. I feel insane, really. Is it herxing that makes you feel so much worse mentally or what??

Yes, anxiety is one of the most common symptoms. There are many treatments, which include treatments for the disease itself (such as antibiotics and herbals that fight the pathogens) as well as drugs/herbals/supplements that fight the side effect of anxiety itself (such as xanax, passion flower, magnesium, exercise, etc.)

Anxiety was and still is slightly the worst part of Lyme for me. Time and healing and abx are helping so much right now. I still get the feeling I'm being watched sometimes LOL. But I've learned to not care who's watching me. Kinda funny, I feel like I'm playing tricks on my mind to heal my body. Wow that sounds kooky! :-)

The anxiety makes everything physical seem so much worse. I cannot think straight and it freaks me out. I used to be organized and professional, and now I have a hard time making a pb&j.... I've never had an issue with trusting my own thoughts. This is truly a very scary, dark place to be :(
