Hello,
im a newbie on here and just wanna share how my anxiety affects my life and how other people who also suffer cope!
my anxiety started from when I was in school and I used to blush at everything. I used to get myself worked up with anxiety and would break me out in cold sores. I dont get cold sores as often as I did now, but since I started this job in Sept 2010 I blush at sstupid moments. Usually when someone "higher" then me talks to me, usually the bigger the pay packet the more red I go! Wonder how other people control this as its ruining my confidence!!
secondly, I get 2 things. The first is I go through phases where my lungs constantly feel tight and I do a stupid cough thing where its dry and short but it feels like I cant fill my lungs but I still need to cough a litte bit of air out and its irritating. Sometimes ill focus on it and when I do I yawn to try get air in and panic cause I cant get enough air in my lungs.
another bad side effect ive been suffering from is stomach acid reflux. I feel like ive always got air trapped in the bottom of my throat and have to burp it up. I never used to be able to false burp but I can bring this air up constantly until I bring p acid in the back of my throat. Sometimes water hurts as its going down and I can hear air coming from my stomach p and getting trapped in the back of my ththroat. I know this is to do with my anxiety cause when I worry it gets worse. Im on meds for the stomach acid but I forgot to take one the other day and even though ive started taking them again its getting worse. I cut out milk but cause im vegetarian its hard to cut out dairy.
Ive also been really dizzy recently and feel myself getting agitated more. I take propranalol(?) for my anxiety but have stopped taking them cause they keep getting stuck on the way down and I can feel them all day!
any advice would be appreciated cause im going crazy and need to know its not going to be like this forever, I want to go into PA work but cant see myself getting there if anyone I talk to who is high up on the career scale is going to make me blush like an idiot, make me fall over from being dizzy and make stomach acid say hello.
thankyou,
ruby.
