Depression/Anxiety

[nicole123x]

I have suffered with pannick attacks 4 times, and after they started I've been feeling very scared about my health... I am certain I have health anxiety, for example: any little pain in my chest I suddenly feel like my hearts going to stop and I'm going to die! I am so worried about my heart and health even though I am a teenager and healthy! Lately I have been bursting out in random tears feeling sorry for myself and feeling like nobody cares about me, I'm starting to think I'm suffering with a bit of depression.. I feel like I can't so it anymore and very fed up any little thing gets me so upset! Isot and cry on my own at night too

Hi - so sorry you're suffering :( I've suffered from anxiety for a long time. It really helps to talk to someone maybe your parents or teacher? There are a lot of techniques that you can learn to handle anxiety and panic. Therapy is a great place to start.

Thanks for your reply! I'm under a councillor, and a therapy I haven't been yet I'm still waiting for it all to to through, in 15 years old had a lot of tests done including 5 ECGs and everyday I just feel like I'm goin to die! Even when I'm not having a pannick attack, the pains are always there! Chest pains, back pains left arm pains, really bad muscle ache I'm just so scared ! With me being so young it's awful :(

Thanks for that! I really aprichiate it !! Do you get the physical symptoms like me too ?

[vonnhelsing]

for me it's pretty much all about the physical symptoms. every possible symptom of anxiety, i've had it. at the moment i've got back pain, chest pain, left arm pain, stomach ache, headache.. the whole shabang! i've kinda learnt just to ignore it. it hurts yeah but when you just don't panic you will find that the pains pass. they always pass. and as long as you're not on the floor writhing around in pain then it's all good. just the adrenaline taking it's toll on your body. embrace the pain and learn not to fear it. understand it. and it'll get less scary. but those chest pain are just the worst. they're always scary no matter what.
stay strong!!!!

[nicole123x]

That's how I am, I am very bad with it it's awful I just want it to go away! Personal message me if you need anything :)

[vonnhelsing]

the pain are always with me.. they've become a part of me. but i just brush them off because i've had this for 4 years and it aint killed me yet so i just ignore those scary-ass chest pains. i go for a check-up at the hospital every 4-5 months just to keep my mind at ease. i go for regular massages and i use tonss, wayyy too much, menthol products. menthol oil for inhaling (it helps me breathe properly), all kinds of muscle rubs which really help me. also hypnotherapy for meditation.

My back pain is scaring me now! It's like a heavy squeezing pain it's horrible :( doesn't happen 24/7 though x

I have had back problems for 10+ years (im 25). My anxiety makes my muscles so incredibly tense, my back muscles seize up. Last time I went to the ER for it (i got at least 2x year) the xray showed the spine in my neck curved the wrong way, due to the muscles in my back seizing up.
Anxiety has a huge effect on your physical body as well as your mind. You are like stuck in "fight or flight" all the time.

I hate narcotics and pain killers, so i just suck it up. Pain means im still alive and I havent gone crazy yet! lol.
