I was a newlywed when this started happening. I would almost jump out of my seat when people came into my office at work! I was always on edge, waiting for something bad to happen. I resisted sharing my thoughts and opinions with colleagues and those in my personal life… because I feared I would be judged and ridiculed. I was in a constant state of overwhelm, and I doubted myself.Ī lifelong social butterfly, I suddenly found myself feeling socially awkward and uncomfortable in groups of strangers (and even friends). I had always been an outspoken, level-headed and calm person, but sometime in 2005, something called “new-onset anxiety” rocked my world. It changed my life dramatically and made me feel like a shell of my former self. Anxiety was one of the most challenging and disempowering symptoms I experienced when I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto’s.
