Hyper aware of IUD anxiety
Hi everyone. I just had my IUD inserted yesterday. On the physical level, I feel okay (some cramping but it was expected). But psychologically I have been having this weird thing where I’m hyper aware that I have something in my uterus and it’s making me a bit anxious, like claustrophobic (idk if that makes sense). I do have anxiety and struggle with things being out of my control, so I think it’s just the idea that I can’t take it out instantly if I feel like it that makes me anxious (even though I have no intention of taking it out). I know it all sounds a bit weird but I wanted to know if anyone’s experienced this feeling before and whether they got used to it after some time? Is it just my brain adjusting to having something inside my body?
