Anxiously awaiting Blood Test Results...

Hi HW Family,

It’s been a while! I hope you all are doing well and are staying as anxiety free as possible. I think of you all so often, but life has been so busy for my wife and I that its hard to spare any time to come and write!

We recently traded life in Los Angeles for Central Oregon and what a miracle worker it’s been for my anxiety. Less people, less traffic, less reasons to stay anxious. I even found a wonderful PCP who is taking over my mental health needs as well and has such a refreshing, realistic and holistic approach to depression/anxiety. We even talked babies which...will be happening around this time next year!

She took blood for a full CBC, b12, thyroid, blood type, and some other thing that I forgot, and I was anxiety free up until a few minutes ago. Rationally, I know everything’s fine. Irrationally, I’m just waiting for bad news. Every time my phone rings, I jump and my heart rate sky rockets. She said she will call regardless of results because she likes to discuss it either way.

Glass half full, because I’ve had so many good days, but stuff like this does make my skin crawl.

Feels so nice to vent here, and I’ve missed this forum so much.

Hi Hibee,

Thank you for responding! You're totally right- better to know, than to not.
