I’ve had such a big flare up of symptoms, affecting my motor skills, symptoms of pots and just depressed and want to stay in bed. At times I feel like I am going crazy. I’ve dealt with anxiety since I was 12 now 21 but I don’t know if it’s anxiety or anxiety caused by my chiari. I try really hard to stay positive but sometimes it’s so freaking hard! 
can chiari make you go “crazy”?! Or can it just be my anxiety? I’m currently on new anxiety meds (lexapro) since nothing seems to be helping. (& xanax). I feel afraid that this condition could make me lose my mind if that’s even possible 
how long ago where you diagnosed?
3 months ago. Although when I got my MRI the hospital I went to had records of an MRI done on me 4 years ago which showed chiari but the doctor who read them never mentioned anything. They said between that MRI and the most recent one there was no change.
we all know so well that depressing feeling of dread that takes over when you keep getting worst yet doctors say you are ok or lack the knowledge and understanding to treat us. Im really sorry that u been feeling like this. I was diagnosed 6 years ago and I still get like that at times. I never has anxiety before till I got sick. Now 6 years late its really bad and im now thinking of meds to help with it. im very stubborn and have gone 3 years now without any meds but that’s just a personal choice. im here whenever u want to talk
