Hi so glad I found this thread. I am feeling really anxious and miserable. I unfortunately got surgically induced pneumonia and I think that is what triggered my anxious state. I can’t seem to feel ok. I’m exhausted permanently. Is anyone else feeling like this ?

Hi there I am 6 weeks post op and severely suffering. I am an anxious person anyway, own and run my own business and able to get my child to and from school and everyday needs. Before surgery I was running about 50-60kms per week. I got diagnosed the day after surgery with surgically induced pneumonia which hasn’t been fun but at least it was something ‘real’ causing me concern. I have also had a uti since. I have been off work and have had temperatures, lots of dizzy spells and exhaustion. This week enough was enough and I asked my dr for a full blood workup, everything is normal. I have realised I am just having anxiety that is presenting in a way I’m not used to. I am having heart palpitations, yesterday I was kneeling talking to a friend’s baby and all of a sudden just saw black - none of these things have happened to me before but I understand are common for anxiety. I am so regretful for having the surgery I am literally just existing. I am too exhausted to do more than what I am , walking my dogs daily is the most exercise I’m getting. 20 kilos ago I was running , didn’t have massive bags under my eyes or any of the other things above. I feel so so lost
