Help meee plz this anxiety is making me go mad..

[shelley15]

I hate google, I didn't google for a few weeks and i felt a lot more better then had a bad spell and am googleing every pain which is such a bad idea, now what I do is I type in google for example 'is head pressure a symptom of anxiety' rather than just typing head pressure that comes up with things I don't want to read. Yes thank you I managed to go to my local park for an hour with a friend, I was so off balance walking there and my friend was talking to me and I have no idea what she was saying my mind blanks it out and just concemtrates on trying not to fall over, I was pleased to be home tho but now I'm a bit sunburnt :( I'm so glad that I forced myself to go out and I so amazed I stayed out for that long! I hope you've had a good day today

[sadia]

Wow that's wicked a whole hour I'm glad you did that well done Hun.. Yh I'm the same when I get out I tend to focus on my walking and getting to the place I need to be and back home, I also feel of balance as wel, but I suppose that's our adrenaline.. I tend to google the way you do but sometimes can't help it.. Yeah day wasn't bad stayed home mostly or sat put in the garden for a while..my sis made me go to the shop with her in our local area which I was slightly apprehensive about because it wasn't planned

[shelley15]

Thank you, I didn't even realise I was out that long till I looked at the time and saw it had been an hour, but by chatting away I guess time flys by. I can't help my self either sometimes its like I need to no the worst possible outcome just incase but by doing that we make our selfs get them symptoms. I haven't googled since Monday I think, I put that my hands where hurting and it came up with blood poisening! I hate going out unexpected its like we need to no a week in advance to prepare our bodies to get ready, at least you went out though its the small things that make a big difference. I also managed to go to the chemist and pick up my anxiety meds which in so scared to take I've never been on tablets before

[sadia]

I got the same tablets as you but never took them because I just didn't want to go through the side effects, and my sister took them and kept throwing up so stopped taking them.. I'm trying to kick this without medication, that's why I talk a lot of this forum so I can get off what's on my mind..

[shelley15]

I proberly won't even take them, I can't take a paracetermol without thinking I'm hallucinating. It's the side affects what scare me my dr said it wil make me worse before I get better, I don't want to feel any worse than I already do! I think I'm going to stick to talking on here and my CBT and try and forse myself to go out, if I can't do it then I guess I will just take them as last resort. You've really helped me knowing that in not the only that feels like this

[sadia]

That's what scared me my doctor said the same thing and I was like no way can't go through anything worse then I already am.. I'm glad you feel better talking on here, that's why I chat n here knowing I'm not the old one going through this.. Because I use to think I was going mad

[Judie]

Hi Sadia, You and Shelley seem to be forming a good support system. I hope that includes you both pushing yourselves and your comfort zones a bit. I am so pleased that you walked home from the Drs, that's wonderful progress. Baby steps but just keep taking them , you'll get there. Queenlet is on her way ! Do you think she'll play with North when they visit the States ? Lol ...Good Job ! X

Yes me and smelly both try and support each other as much as we can... I know it felt good walking back on my own although nerve wracking.. I've missed our chats on here JUDIE you've been away from the forum for a few days, I hope everything is well with you? I know the Queenlet is sure taking her time lol I don't think her and North west will be forming a friendship lol x

[shelley15]

I am defo not smelly sadia, haha! Hope your well.

[sadia]

Omg lol sorry I just realised what I wrote lol... I'm not bad.. How are you? Hope your better

[shelley15]

Lol, I couldn't stop laughing when I read it. I'm good thank you I've been doing a lot these past few days and getting out my comfort zone and saying yes to doing things, although last night I was really anxious for a few hours but I feel like I'm taking steps forward. I just hate feeling anxious when I'm not at home.

[sadia]

Same here I feel really anxious when I'm not at home, and I tend to rush things to get back home.. I've just got this problem with my eyes lately my brows hurt, and my eyes can't seem to adjust to the lighting aorund me.. Makin me think I'm going blind

[shelley15]

That's what I do I try and rush things, like if I need something from a shop I will run in and get it quickly pay and run out then I get home and think I should of looked around. My eyes have been funny lately they feel like there not focusing properly I even went to the opticians, I keep getting pains in my eye that are making me think I'm going blind to, I hate bright lights to and certain lighting in shops gives me instant headache proberly another reason I hate shops. The opticians and doctors both said its anxiety. It's so hard to believe though

[sadia]

I swear I feel exactly the same as what you've just described.. Anxiety really does affect every part of your body

[shelley15]

It could be tension, I have lots of tension in my shoulders and neck and like a month ago my brows where aching and that's when my eyes started playing up, doctor said its a tension headache which can effect your eyes/vision. Also my eyes feel really dry aswell and ache all the time. Anxiety literally drives you insane. It's one thing after another.

[sadia]

Yh I get shoulder and neck tension a lot, I usually lay in the bath to relieve that tension.. I get the same feeling in browns and forehead, sometimes tingles aswel.. Yh its constantly one thing after another

[shelley15]

I hate it when it tingles I have to stop what I'm doing, any pains I get in my head I think its a blood clot or something. I do the same, a nice hot bath makes my muscles better for a bit. I've been using the radox muscle therapy bubble bath to help, not sure if it does anything tho but its defo relaxing.

[sadia]

Lol I use the same exact thing.. I've also brought the radox bath salts I've heard there really good for muscles aswel.. We just have to get use to all these symptoms I suppose

[shelley15]

Might have to give the bath salts a try. Yeah as my theripist says the more you pay attention to the pain/anxiety the more its there so by letting it be there and saying to yourself oh hi pain/anxiety your not hurting me type thing it will get bored of that response and give up causing you pain. When she told me this I was like that's not going to work but that's what I've been doing for a couple days and it has been helping.

[sadia]

Really, I might have to give that a go so I can take my focus away from constantly thinking about the same thing..

[Judie]

Omg lol sorry I just realised what I wrote lol... I'm not bad.. How are you? Hope your better

Lol I was wondering who Smelly was and giving them credit for giving themselves such a telling name, honesty at its best ! Where is Queenlet ??????? If it's a boy I am still going call it Queenlet as nowI am too attached lol. I am looking forward to seeing North West. Boston Celtics ( my home town growing up) has just signed Chris Humpries- Ex- Mr Kim Kadashian.

[Judie]

Yes it's called acceptance and recognition of the anxiety. By accepting it you take control of the anxiety and realize it's not going to hurt you. You see it as harmless and it backs down. Most people recognize anxiety as nerves and dismiss but Panic Attack Sufferers focus too much and cause the reactive phase of Panic to be set in motion.

This Queenlet is taking forever, l I know you've attached your self to Kate have a girl, I hope she does as wel as that's what prince William wants.. I know my mums always asking when is Kim going to show North, Kourtney never went into hiding lol

JUDIE your absolutely right, I recognise it is anxiety now, it's just when the pains get really intense it makes me worry again.. How are you doing? You had your Art show yet

[shelley15]

Ahhhh so anxious today! I feel so dizzy and I'm sweating and I can't breath its making me think I'm going to collapse and die any second, got burning pains in my head, I'm on my own with my son wish someone was with me! After a good weekend I feel so annoyed.

We all have set backs don't Punish yourself for this but Praise yourself what good weekend you had,I know it's scary but nothing is going to happen its just anxiety, Take deep breaths,it's not going to harm you,your not going to pass
Out or die

Hun I've been like that for a few days I get this hot flush feeling all over my body and then head pressure and tingling set it and makes me wobbly when I walk, I felt like i was about to fall last nyt in the house.. I think the hot feeling is because of the humidity and head pains because of anxiety, it's when you have a lot of tension in shoulders and neck.. Don't worry you are NOT going to die take some deep breaths, relax, and have some pain killer it should calm down with that

[sadia]

Lol JUDIE I've just read somewhere that Kate is in labour so Queenlet should be here very soon

[shelley15]

Thanks guys, I no it's just anxiety but when I'm on my own with my son I feel like if something bad happens he will be on his own, my heads telling me I have a serious illness so when I feel really bad I'm convinced I'm dying, and with my hands aching for a week I think its something really bad. Plus I can't ring anyone to sit with me everyone's at work :( wish we all lived closer together so we could all help each other.

[sadia]

When ever I get this immense pressure in my head I always think tumor, or aneurysm so I know exactly what you mean hun.. Don't worry it's anxiety playing those horrible games with us again.. Just relax and take it easy today.. What city you from?

[shelley15]

Maybe its because I ate loads of junk food yesterday, when I don't feel so anxious I eat loads of rubbish, I had a doughnut and sweets no breakfast or lunch then I cooked dinner and then had Pizza Hut. I usually hardly eat anything and eat fruit. I live in Reading where about are you from? I've also heard the Kate's in labour and I've also heard she's in the hospital 5 mins, not sure how true that is don't no why she would give birth there I had a rubbish experience giving birth there

I was just thinking that I've realised when I eat chocolate for a few days this head pressure starts but that never use to happen it could be my mind telling me that lol.. I'm from Nottingham.. She's in that hospital where prince William was born

[shelley15]

Yeah I don't eat a lot of chocolate anymore, I think it brings headaches on. I'm feeling less anxious now but still have pains in my head and hands :( oh yeah I just looked online it says she's in a hospital in London, a girl on my Facebook said she was in our local hospital, weird or maybe I'm just gullible ha!

[sadia]

I know back of my head has a tingling/burning sensation going on at the moment.. When I get my head pain my legs go really weak when I stand its like jelly.. I'm glad your feeling better, just relax today and don't push yourself too much

[shelley15]

I no exactly what you mean, when that happens to me I think my legs are just going to give way and I will fall over. I wish I could just walk normally. I take it you don't work?

[sadia]

I think exactly the same thing as you, it's crazy t think so many of us are going through exactly the same thing... I was working until I got really bad so on sick leave at the moment... What about you?

[shelley15]

Yeah it's weird how many people go though the same thing, when it first started I thought I was the only one and that I was going insane. I did work then had my little boy and was ment to go back January 2012 but anxiety took over and my manager said I could go back when I felt better but I never went back because I can't run away when I'm dealing with people plus it was in a hospital and I have a fear of hospitals now. I really want to work tho. How long are you on sick leave?

I know i use to think i was the only one until I found this forum.. I've been on sick leave for about 4 months now, it came to the point where I started to have panic attacks at the thought of leaving the house I could barely go to the front door I use to run back.. I really want to get back to work but still feel as if I can't

[shelley15]

Now I've spoke to you I do feel better that I'm not alone. Wow 4 months, you will never want to go back just like me. I'm dreading having to go back to work when I have to go I don't even think there is a benefit you can claim for anxiety

[sadia]

Yu can get a sick nose of your doctor and apply for ESA (EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT ALLOWANCE) and you tell the, what you are suffering from and you have to just keep getting sick notes from your GP and send them to the ESA people and claim your benefit

[shelley15]

Ahh really, I will have to look in to that! I no my friend was on ESA for headaches and anxiety but she kept having to go and get assessed to make sure she wasent lying, they make you go on day courses aswell then after a year they stopped her money and forced her to work, I couldn't even do any of that. I'm a person that likes to earn my own money I hate being on benefits so much :(

[sadia]

I know what you mean I love working.. One of my friends is on that benefit and she's been on one assessment that's all.. No harm looking into it

[shelley15]

I will defo look into it thank you

[mindtides]

sorry need 10 posts

[sadia]

sorry need 10 posts

Everything ok?

JUDIE it's a boy... Lol

I was off work for a year some years back as panic attacks got sooo bad I was having one after another all day long and was frightened to wake up every mornin... It was scariest time ov my life , But I got back into work ( I still struggle ) but things are better than they were ...
I was on sick pay but because its not a physical thing that can be seen they stopped my money , I had to go for a test ( stupid ) asking can I walk , talk ok , bend , pick things up etc etc , then bcz " obviously " I could do all this then app I was fit for work !

[shelley15]

Sry... Prob a bit late only just seeing this now but how are u ?

Yeah I'm better than I was this morning just been trying to relax all day, but I was abit stressed out earlier and then thought I was going to have a heart attack. But I'm okay now thank you for asking. Hope you've had a good day

[locksey]

Yu can get a sick nose of your doctor and apply for ESA (EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT ALLOWANCE) and you tell the, what you are suffering from and you have to just keep getting sick notes from your GP and send them to the ESA people and claim your benefit

Doesn't last forever tho , I got taken off it after been sent for a medical at the benefit office and bcz I could talk , bend down , pick things up , walk etc etc then app I was fit for wrk so they stopped my money .... They don't recognise panic disorder as a problem

[locksey]

It makes me so angry that mental illnesses aren't seen as an illness, no way I could work feeling dizzy all the time. It was bad enough when I used to get panic attacks at work but back then I could control it. I can't even walk out my front door without feeling really anxious. I would do anything to go back to work.

Oh nice, make the most of your 6week holiday and relax :)

[sadia]

Hiya just need a bit of reassurance from someone plz... I've been having this one sides head pressure for months now which I have alread discussed on her... But sometimes now I get a sharp pressure pain on the same side and it actually hurts around my right eye as wel... I just don't understand what it could be, I've hardly ever had a headache before.. Always thinking of what it could be.. I've had a sharp pressure sort of pain on the front right side of my head for an hour and occasionally it's giving a slight pain in my right eye as wel.. And every time I type in a symptom brain aneurysm comes up as an option...

I've been getting pressure on the right side of my head/eye/nose I hardly ever have headaches but recently i have.I try not to get scared even tho I am but I just say to myself its tension and stress. Have you looked at the anxiety symptoms list on the forum, they are really reassuring. I no how you feel, my eye keeps getting shoting pain today it's really annoying me. Also when I stand up I get a lot of pressure in my head.

[sadia]

Same here, had like a sharp poking sort of feeling in the side of my head that radiated to the eye I thought something was going to pop.. My head almost always has pressure in it and goes all tingly.. Especially when I try and go out it gets worse.. I always think something's wrong.. I've not had a look on the forum I will do though.. Hope your feeling better

Yeah same, I feel like my eye is going to pop aswell, I got so worried a few weeks ago that I went to the opticians and doctors and they said it was eye strain and tension. But it still scares me. It's on the general anxiety but then at the top it says stickies then it has a list that says anxiety symptoms, its weird how many of the symptoms I have, it put my mind at rest every time I have a pain I look at the list. Yes thank you I've been okay, hope you have been okay

[sadia]

I've made an opticians appointment coming up in a few weeks.. I swear me and u have practically all the same symptoms lol.. I've been ok apart from the head pressure.. Glad your doing better, and I will defo look into the forum thanks x

[shelley15]

I no it's weird how alike our symptoms are defo reassures me. Aww that's good, you might just find you need glasses. I get so scared going to the opticians I felt so faint when I was there but a soon as she looked in the back of my eye and said its fine I felt so much better. Also my eyes are so dry aswell. It's defo most properly stress though. Let me no how the opticians go, no doubt you will fine :) x

Sadia, Brain Aneurysm " always" comes up as an option for headaches. Brain Aneurysm is NOT what you have,Aneurysms are excruciatingly painful. How do I know this ? I lost two very dear friends to Aneurysms. What you most probably do have are Migraines, if they are one sided, it can also be the Anxiety Band or a Muscle Contraction Headache ( as we have talked about before, anxiety makes muscles tense, tense muscles hurt and amuse lots of aches, pains and tingling. I went to an eye surgeon and he told me he had never seen a person with nystagmus ( eye shakes back and forth) that didn't have. Brain Tumor, well after the Brain Scan Iwas left with one explanation...Not Brain Tumor...Panic Disorder. This is a Disorder of the Nervous System, the Nervous System is responsible for countless bodily functions and sensations...so when something ( Panic Disorder) messes around with it we get lots of sensations, thankfully all harmless. We all need to try really hard on focusing our thoughts away from the symptoms and toward the solution. Don't be afraid to go to the eye Doctor, you may have eye strain ( which does cause a headache and pain in eye and so does Glaucoma, which is very easily treated. You do NOT have a brain tumor or an Aneurysm...you have a Panic Disorder...and perhaps Migraines from stress...but I think Anxiety Band ( tension headache) Don't feel bad , I still haven't gone to the Dentist :((((((

[sadia]

Thanks JUDIE that's made me feel a little better.. I just got nervous about the eye doctor because its like 30mims away from my house and I haven't been that far for a while so just got nervous so re arranged it.. JUDIE you need to get to the dentist, better late then never with the dentist, once I avoided the dentist for a few years and when I began to get pain I went and they removed few of my teeth lol so I try and make a regular 6 month visit.. How is your art show coming along?

[shelley15]

I was supposed to go opticians yesterday but I rand up and re arranged it as I got nervous

I did the same, but I was ment to go to specsavers which is in the middle of the town Center and its always busy and they take ages, so I booked to go to another smaller and quiter opticians which my mum goes to, its never busy and you get seen straight away and they checked my hearing aswell as I said I felt off balance. Which came back fine, I cancelled twice and ended up going because I kept feeling so anxious that something was wrong with my eye or head and they can see right to the back of your eye and any tumours in your head so was a huge relief when she said its all fine. I was so anxious sitting having my eyes tested was shaking, felt so faint and sick but it defo put my mind at rest that my head and eyes where fine. You will be okay I no you can do it :)

I will defo let u know how it goes.. I had to make it sooner I would have gone mad thinking what's wrong with me.. I'm ok it's just this constant head pressure that's got me anxious always thinking about it sometimes it the pressure radiates round my face.. I knw how u feel I always get anxious if I have to go somewhere try not to think about it and don't push yourself too much

I've been thinking about the head pressure today do you think it could be where are blood pressure is high cos we worry so it makes pressure in our head, if that makes sence. I always need an answer to every pain tho. I really don't want to go but I promised my little boy I would take him to see Thomas the tank so I've got to do it for him.

[sadia]

Yh just take that day easy dont plan too much keep it simple just don't put extra pressure on ur self.. I don't know what it is my neck and shoulders tense up too.. I was telling my cousin today that I get head pressure and tingling and she said its all psychological because she use to get it alot

[shelley15]

It's just being out of my comfort zone and not being able to run from the situation that I'm scared of but I no once the day is done I will be happy I done it (hopefully lol) oh yeah it is proberley the tension from your neck and shoulders, I kind of forgot about the tension so the past couple days my brains been thinking its do do with blood pressure. I'm glad you remained me its the tension. I think it is psychological aswell actually because I kept getting the head/face/nose pressure till I woke up one day last week thinking I had cancer I kind of forgot about the pressure I didn't feel it till ages days ago I stopped thinking I had cancer and can notice the head pressure again. If its not one thing its another drives me mad!

Hopefully your day with your son will be fun and you both will enjoy it.. I just can't get it out of my head as the pressure is always there.. Like I went to the supermarket yesterday with. U mum and I have been out with her in 4 months and on the way home the pressure was getting intense, I don't know ifI'm subconsciously anxious or what

I no what you mean, when the pain/pressure is always there you can't focus on anything else. I was focusing on head pressure then forgot about it then focused on my eye then back to head pressure, now I'm focusing on pain in my blader and head pressure and eye pain ahh it's really annoying! Aww I'm glad you went out with your mum, I can't go in supermarkets I tried about 2 weeks ago with my mum and was in there for 5mins and ran out. It could of been worse when you was on your way home because of the tention where you was moving around more. Hope your having a good day :)

[sadia]

I did that same a few weeks ago, went to a shop a few weeks ago and she went into the changing room and I started to feel anxious and I thought I was going to faint so I ran back to the car.. No pressure to thank god but got really bad ear ache its just one thing after another.. How are you doing? :)

[shelley15]

I hate the feeling when you feel like your just about to faint especially in big crowded areas! Oh no I hope your ear gets better, you said you don't have head pressure do you think it's because your focusing on your ear now? I'm good thanks, I think I have a bladder infection I keep needing a wee, but its annoying cos when I went to the doctors 2 months ago about it she said its anxiety, but now I'm getting burning pains and tummy pains maybe the dr was wrong, so now I'm thinking that the infection might spread to my kidneys or get in to my blood. I hate it when anxiety mimics illnesses so now I don't no if its just anxiety or I actually should go to the drs again!

It probably is that I'm focusing on my ear today.. I've just spoke to the doctor on the phone just to reassure my self as I had heavy air pressure about two weeks ago and pain this week, she said it doesn't sound serious and just to take pain killers and see how my weekend goes.. Yh anxiety makes some people go to the toilet a lot, when I have a panic attack I usually need to wee straight away lol... Your like mr your probably over thinking it.. Just drink plenty of water and like me see how your weekend goes.. Like this morning I woke up and throat and ear was burning and googled it and larynx cancer (throat cancer) came up as an option and I thought great lol

It's really weird how our bodies focus on parts of your body and then makes them painful. At least your doctor doesn't think its serious that's good, I was actually thinking to see how I go over the weekend then see if I should book an appointment, I've been really on edge for the past couple of hours I just keep telling myself its anxiety as I was fine this morning. I used to suffer tonsillitis as a child and I remember I was in so much pain my mum took me to see the dr and he didn't even look down my throat or give me any pain relief! That's one of the reasons I hate drs so much! Like me I google things and it comes up with cancer, I haven't googled in just over a week that's one of my things I'm not allowed to do till I next see my therapist lol. I hope you get better over the weekend. Is it okay to private mail you sometimes?

[onebreathatatime]

I've been thinking about the head pressure today do you think it could be where are blood pressure is high cos we worry so it makes pressure in our head, if that makes sence. I always need an answer to every pain tho. I really don't want to go but I promised my little boy I would take him to see Thomas the tank so I've got to do it for him.

I used to think it was my blood pressure that caused head pressure but I just had mine done Tuesday and it was 130/70 which is perfect!(For me anyways... normally it's higher, I get so worked up) I would go more with eye strain, tension headaches, all caused by anxiety.. Also if you are on computer, cell phones, read a lot etc.. I find that gives me a ton more pressure, but not quite a headache.

Everytime I go to the doctors I always have high blood pressure where I hate doctors so much so they sent a nurse to my house to take it and it was fine. That was a couple of years ago tho. Yes I am always siting at my computer, looking at my phone and the tv and that brings on like a headache but not quite a headache as you said. I think where I stare at stuff for so long it hurts my eyes and give me tension in my shoulders and neck I think that's the reason I feel off balance and dizzy a lot but I never think its the simple answer I get in a panic and think its something really bad!

I hope we both feel better over the weekend, I have calmed down a lot with google but still can resist now and then lol.. Yeah mail me whenever you want hun x

[Judie]

Thanks JUDIE that's made me feel a little better.. I just got nervous about the eye doctor because its like 30mims away from my house and I haven't been that far for a while so just got nervous so re arranged it.. JUDIE you need to get to the dentist, better late then never with the dentist, once I avoided the dentist for a few years and when I began to get pain I went and they removed few of my teeth lol so I try and make a regular 6 month visit.. How is your art show coming along?
Hi Sadia,, Ok so I went to my Dr and requested an antibiotic because my tooth was cracked in half and I needed to wait til after the Art Show...so he gave me one to prevent infection....so all's good right ?.. WRONG, I brushed my teeth this morning before the Art Show and BOOM felt like a sledge hammer hitting my jaw...so ? Emergency Root Canal tomorrow DURING the Art Show !!! I will work from 9 til 11:30 and then leave for Dentist and hopefully come back by 2:30....I am allergic to epinephrine and because of that had a Panic Attack in the chair....so :( My Dentist doesn't use Epinephrine in the novacaine BUT that means ....shots every two minutes....ugh :(((((( So...ugh.....How's George ?

[Judie]

Why do teeth wait to the most inopportune time to go NUTS and take you down ??????!?

[Judie]

Googling is sooooooo bad .... U would think they first would show u what it could be " not serious " before goin in at the deep end with serious things .. So not good
You need to read backwards, they always list the not serious stuff at the end LOL...you can count on me to give you the NOT SERIOUS STUFF !

[brookie93]

I think we all need a divorce from google!! Lol I have a habit of googling every symptom then it always comes up something horrible like cancer ugh

[epollock]

I think we all need a divorce from google!! Lol I have a habit of googling every symptom then it always comes up something horrible like cancer ugh

I agree - Google is NOT the place to go and like most, I am guilty of going there myself. Infact, thats what lead me to this site. Its the only GOOD THING google has given me. I have learned in here about different symptoms that I have been having are also the same symptoms a lot of others have been having.
Honestly - the first night I came in here, I finally got some sleep! I slept through the night - its nice to not feel alone.

[Lin]

Judie - i hope your tooth getting better. Your PM box full so sent Sadia a message and asked her pass on to you.

Locksey so right about Google - not a good idea unless want to make anxiety and panic much worse!

Ooo JUDIE I hope your not in to much pain with your tooth.. Shots every 2 minutes I would pass out seriously these are the reasons I hate the dentist lol.. Not heard nothing of George since he got named, it's already like old news.. I do hope your Art show goes well even though you have to miss some of it.. Lins sent me a message to pass on to you so let me know when you have some free space in your inbox and I will forward it to you.. X

[sadia]

I know your all right about staying away from google, I never even use to really use it until my anxiety started,, I have calmed down a lot but sometimes just cannot help it..

Hi Sadia, Lin, Locksey and all, Well that good Old Panic Disorder and the allergy to Epinephrine caused me to have 7 shots and then as she ( My Dentist) refers to as the " Last Resort" ordered another special needle which she injected directly into the Inflamed Dying Nerve...so that's it...it is what it is...I guess LOL...hurt like anything but I'm halfway done with the Root Canal, will finish other half Friday and then crown for third visits. She sent me home with narcotics for the pain, but I am not a fan ( they knock me out). I was telling Locksey this Root Canal cost me almost 3,000 dollars, 2, 831 to be exact...that hurts more then the tooth LOL...apparently you guys have it a lot more affordable Dental over there :(. The Art Show was ok, I was able to meet and talk with someone about renting Gallery Space for next year and membership in different Art Guilds. I sold two small paintings, which is good for the Venue we had. In a bad economy Art is considered a Luxury Item....sales are tough..so not bad ! Hope everyone is doing ok. When you Google and YOU WILL all Google lol...try to focus on the less severe reasons for symptoms...and ask yourself truthfully " Isn't this more likely to be what it is considering I have been diagnosed with a Panic Disorder... and given otherwise you are young and healthy : ) Behave Peeps X

Oo gosh judie that sounds like an ordeal one tooth caused so much pain and money.. Hope you feeling better today..

[locksey]

Oo gosh judie that sounds like an ordeal one tooth caused so much pain and money.. Hope you feeling better today..

I can't believe how much they have to pay over there ... That's like nearly £2,000 in our money .. It's a huge diff !!
I do prefer to pay NI , tax etc mthly

I did tell her tho that she should come live over here and she would also save money :-) :-) :-)

[Lin]

Such a lot of money and horrible thing to have done. I hate going to the dentist.
Good you sold some paintings Judie, will help cheer you up after teeth trouble.
I googled new gynae meds and then realised not good idea, even good sites can worry you unnecessarily.

[sadia]

Hi hope everyone's well.. Just wanted to now to now can shoulder and neck muscles tense up even when you not anxious? Because mine have men like for a few day and causing pain n both arms

[locksey]

Hi hope everyone's well.. Just wanted to now to now can shoulder and neck muscles tense up even when you not anxious? Because mine have men like for a few day and causing pain n both arms

Yes.... You prob don't think you are anxious/stressed but u are .... I used to get lots of symptoms when I wasn't feelin stressed but dctr said it can be delayed ( eg... Something on yr mind but u don't get the worry symptoms till a week after )
Or like I just said , you think your not anxious but your body is telling you diff ....... Hope this makes sense

[sadia]

Hiya yeah that makes sense to me.. I don't know what it is maybe I am anxious and I just don't know it, they've been tense and hurting for around 5 days and I've been using deep heat since Saturday which is helping.. And my stomach gets this sharp pain for arund 30 seconds near my liver and then goes away... And my mind is telling my its going to be something wrong with my appendix or kidney...

My dctr would tell me sometimes you will get aches and pains just literally for no reason .... But I can't tell u " don't worry " as I know how I am wen I get a pain or something .....

[sadia]

Yeah I understand what your saying.. I'm constantly thinking

[Rrvanv]

I'm brand new to this forum and I happened to see your post. My sister was diagnosed with an over active thyroid years ago. Did you know that an over active thyroid which controls hormones can produce severe anxiety when it's over active? It sounds to me like your thyroid has kick started some anxiety. I'm not a doctor but thought you may want to look a little more closely at the thyroid situation.

Hi thank you, I totally agree with you most of my anxiety has come from the thyroid, but it's getting under control now and so should my anxiety, it's getting there but taking its time.. How are you

[sadia]

Hi everyone hope you all doing well.. I'm doing better then before which is good, but I still have my days where I feel I'll but I just try and get through them..

[sadia]

The past week or so I have my legs have been feeling weak from the minute I wake up, and both of my groins have had a slight ache and sort of burning sensation especially when I sit down its not too painful more dull and annoying.. Don't know what it could be making me think the worst again

[SleeplessInPA]

Hi Sadia, I get the weak feeling in my legs when I am anxious. Actually, there are times when I experience weakness in my entire body from anxiety. Try not to think the worse, I know it's hard but I think a lot of what you are feeling is anxiety related. Have you been doing anything strenuous lately, or walking a lot?

[sadia]

For the past 6 months I've hardly been out, and for the past few weeks I have been going to the supermarket once a week or some where else that's the only walking I've done, and everyone is saying its because I've started walking more then I have been, but I don't under past and this burning sensation in both groins it's making me think I've goth something wrong with my ovaries or something

[SleeplessInPA]

Are you ovulating or about to get your period?

[be u old self]

[sadia]

Hi sleeplessinPA I'm due my period today but this pain I have never really felt before so it's making me think I have something wrong with my ovaries or its cervical

[sadia]

Hi be u old self, I do take vitamins, and I am Pakistani.. How are you

[SleeplessInPA]

That could definitely be the problem! If you are that worried call your OBGYN and ask him/her. I notice that right before i get my period i get pain in my ovaries, at times that whole area of my body is sore.

[be u old self]

My mind does not shut off I'm constantly thinking about all the diseases I could have, even when I turn in my sleep I'm talking and thinking to myself, I think the cycle is starting again..

[sadia]

[Kmann1969]

One more say a No No to google

Don't google your symptoms it s very misleading
If you re concerned about something visit the doc
But never go near google it ll just make miserable and more miserable

Yep!!! Stay away from google!!

[farrah01]

Me and dr google have a love hate relationship.. I don't know why I keep going back?!

[sadia]

Same here I try and resist but if I don't google I can't seem to rest anymore.. Google is a bad habit, as I've been on it lately and because of back pain I think I have something wrong with my ovaries, and the shoulder and chest pain I think I have something wrong with my lungs.. (CANCER).. I need to distract myself from google

[brian_s_21]

What's happening.. I've had days like that where I wake up and can't sleep, just take deep breaths and tell yourself you are fine
I'm scare of going to sleep because I think I won't wake up is my problem

[sadia]

I'm scare of going to sleep because I think I won't wake up is my problem

[sadia]

[sadia]

I get the butterfly feeling in my stomach a lot which leads me to panic.. I'm from the UK

[sadia]

Is it normal to feel ok for days even a few weeks and then all of a sudden you wake up one morning feel ill again constant anxiety, butterfly feeling in stomach, weird thoughts crossing my mind

[brian_s_21]

Is it normal to feel ok for days even a few weeks and then all of a sudden you wake up one morning feel ill again constant anxiety, butterfly feeling in stomach, weird thoughts crossing my mind
Yep is normal just control your breathing and try to think positive

[sadia]

I can't think positive my mind does not stop thinking I'm constantly thinking that I'm dying

[Jcsmith0817]

It take a ton of time and practice too control our anxious and incredible minds, it won't happen overnight and trust me.. I have been there where anxiety was at it's worst. But this beast can be tamed with practice, acceptance and believing! I am slowly getting there but have felt better each and everyday I wake up! Life is a gift and not a torture, live that life that was given too you and don't let worry take over! you will overcome it!

Some great tips on overcoming the anxiety:
Exercise
Meditation
Music/Dance

some of the few things that helped me get over my severe anxiety

[sadia]

Thank u for the tips I will take them on board.. Just need to get use to feeling good for a while and all of a sudden it coming back

[sadia]

Having a really bad day today, woke up at 5:30am today feeling really anxious, had that anxious feeling in my chest and stomach for a few days now, and it was really intense this morning I had to run to the window and open to get some air.. Then finally fell back to sleep at 7:00am for a couple of hours.. And came downstairs and as soon as I sat in the living room the feeling came back and I had to run into the garden to get air again... Is this constant anxious feeling common? As soon as I wake up it's there till I sleep and even when I'm a sleep I'm not a sleep if that makes sense, my mind is constantly running

I no how you feel I went through that when my anxiety was really at its worst, I was like that 24/7 and you feel like you can't relax and your always in edge and concentrating on your breathing, my theripst told me to listen to calming music on YouTube type relaxation for anxiety. I no exactly how you feel though I can't stand it when your mind constantly runs with dread, you will be okay x

[sadia]

Thanks Shelly, having those really rough days again and don't even know why, I even managed to go to the pharmacy on my own last week.. How are you doing?

[shelley15]

Thanks Shelly, having those really rough days again and don't even know why, I even managed to go to the pharmacy on my own last week.. How are you doing?

Aww wow that's amazing well done! Your proberly feeling like this where your overwhelmed that you've done something happens to me. I'm doing okay I guess I have been having more good days than bad but I'm not constantly worrying about my health anymore and feel a lot more calmer, I feel like the only thing holding me back is all the tension in my neck/head making me feel off balance when I walk so I'm scared to walk anywhere now!

[sadia]

I had that feeling for a while, I've had neck tension, and at the moment I'm getting a tingling feeling around my head and forehead.. Is it normal to have pain in your forehead

[shelley15]

Yeah I've had neck tension for like over a year, yep its normal to get tingling in your forehead I get it a lot I'm trying to ignore it and you do get it more when your anxious, or you could have a tension headache I get them all the time

[sadia]

Yh I get headaches a lot when I'm at my worst, I don't like the tingling gives me weird sensations in my my head and makes me think I've got MS or brain tumor/ anurysem

[shelley15]

Same I keep thinking I've got ms cos of the off balance feeling I keep getting!

[sadia]

Oooo it's moving round my head weird sensation hate it

[sadia]

Can someone please describe what a migraine feels like, because I've took pain killers and they've not really helped or have I took then to late because the ache started a few hours ago.. My aches at the back of my head and then more on the right side at the front of my head, and I can slightly feel it on the left but not as much, it's also giving a tingling sensation I can feel it in my forehead aswel.. I'm scared about going sleep now

[sadia]

I woke up last night after being asleep for arpund an hour and the top of my feet, and back of thighs were tingling, and the middle of my back had a heavy feeling almost like it was getting pushed.. Does anyone have any ideas

[shelley15]

I woke up last night after being asleep for arpund an hour and the top of my feet, and back of thighs were tingling, and the middle of my back had a heavy feeling almost like it was getting pushed.. Does anyone have any ideas

That defo sounds like sleep paralysis to me, google it see what you think. Its when your asleep but your sub conscious brain is still active causing you to wake up feeling very anxious, I've had it a few times I get it when my anxiety is really bad, hope your okay now

[sadia]

My brain has been active while I'm asleep for the past week or so, I can feel myself turning in my sleep and my brain is thinking like I'm awake.. My legs feels weak and slightly tingly today

[shelley15]

I defo think you've got sleep paralysis, the tingling could just be from where your so tired and your focusing on it, it will pass it did when that happend to me. I've been getting tingling in my lips and face/head and legs think its due to lack of exercise and tension

[sadia]

Isn't sleep paralysis where you can't move in ur sleep, I can move I just woke up to thos tingling sensations and that weird feeling in my back but I cud move

[shelley15]

I thought that aswell till I told my doctor about mine and she explained your not always paralysed, anxiety affects how you sleep a lot your brain never shuts down so I no exactly how you feel talk to your doctor about it, but just remember no serious illnesses would do this to you when your asleep, try take loads of naps in the day to catch up.

[sadia]

Right I will speak to my doctor about its not not dangerous is it? I thought it was restlessness or something.. I dnt know why but I don't like lying down during the day I always think something is going to happen if my routine changes.. I guess its my mind

[sadia]

Ooo and now and then I've been getting these shivers in my back and legs, not all the time just now and then

[shelley15]

It's not dangerous at all just really scary to experience, defo talk to your doctor she can give you tips to help you, and try to make sure your relaxed before you go to sleep give your brain a chance to rest, I no its easy for me to say but I always watch a film to relax me while trying to fall asleep or listen to music :) I get shivers down my legs and arms and down my back but I haven't been focusing in it so I only get shivers in my legs now but I'm sure it's where I don't walk anywhere. I no what you mean how you don't want to change your routine in the day in the same but its amazing what sleep can do

[sadia]

I knw I'm the type of person who loves sleep, yes I will defo talk to my doctor about this... Just hope it's not my blood circulation cutting off.. Do your legs ever ache for no reason, you just wake up and the whole days your legs ache even when you walk? How have you been today

[shelley15]

I really think its where you've been anxious lately and it's effecting your sleep, I was the same a few weeks ago all I keep thinking was about my blood pressure and giving myself a heat attack that everytime I feel asleep after an hour my brain would tell me I'm not breathing so I would wake up with a racing heart and my body tingling, like what you said its like your brain can't shut down. Yeah I get some days where my legs are aching like I've been on a run and some days they tingle and my feet are always cold, I scare my self sometimes that I've got ms or a blood colt but I no its because I don't walk anywhere and when you don't use your legs they ache. I've had a good day till I was having dinner and had a massive panic attack felt so faint thought I was dying but I'm okay now, I managed to walk up to town yesterday and was 45mins and everytime I felt anxious I didn't have and thoughts that I was dying. How about you how's your day been?

How about you how's your day been?

Yh exactly my legs feel like I've been running they got that ache and tingling feeling, I'm just trying to ignore it.. Aww hope your ok what brought on your panic attack? I've just been relaxing today to be honest.. And my feet are almost always cold aswel.. Did you manage to get anything nice from town

[shelley15]

Not sure why I got a panic attack think it was because my bf wanted to go out for a meal so I was worrying about it but we didn't go in the end he ordered a take away instead but where I worry about something I will get a panic attack when I'm not expecting it. Just got a few birthday cards and to pay some bills only went in a couple of shops I didn't want to be out to long or go to far lol. Aww good just try to keep relaxing should calm your brain down :)

[sadia]

I get the same way where I think I have to go some where and I begin to panic, I had that once where I got ready to go super market and when the dab arrived and I couldn't get out the front door...

[sadia]

Don't want to sleep keep having weird dreams that bother me all day long.. Always thinking what they could mean.. Never 100% sleep half awake these days

[sadia]

Been having so many dream over the past week or so almost every night, none of them really makes sense, but most of them include people that I went to school with. Which does make sense to me.. And is making me think that I am seeing everyone in my dreams before I die.. My sister said its because I'm always thinking or go on Facebook a lot to distract myself from thinking or googling, and it's just things that stick in my head from Facebook that I see in my dreams.. But I'm not sure

[shelley15]

A few weeks ago I was having weird dreams about my neighbours getting ill and dreams about old friends, but your sister is right when you look at Facebook things store in your brain without you realising and that's why you have dreams about people you know. It's called the subconscious mind, things stay in that part of your brain without you realising just the same how a panic attack and anxiety work.

[sadia]

I had a panic attack few hours ago feeling so I'll now like I'm going to have another one.. Few days ago I had a dream of a dead relative and since then where ever I look I can see her standing there just looking at me.. I know that sounds weird but that's what happening, I don't know if it's my imagination telling me that's she's there or what.. So it's made me have a panic attack today

[shelley15]

I went out to the shop on my own earlier and had a massive panic attack in the shop ever since then I'm really on edge waiting for another panic attack, its horrible. That sounds scary, but try not to worry about it its just your mind playing tricks I always think I'm seeing flies flying in front of me, its prob where your over tired and where your concentrating on it you think your seeing someone, it's so scary what your brain can do and how mental it makes you feel I totally understand.

[sadia]

Thanks Shelly I really feel like I'm dying to be honest don't know what true or not minds really messed up.. Oo gosh what happened to set u off? Hope your ok

[shelley15]

I no I hate it when you don't no if its real or if its your mind tricking you. Think it was because I went on my own and I hate standing in the que I couldn't stop shaking my legs turn to jelly and my head goes all weird, so since I've been in I'm really anxious and headachy, and I get really annoyed how I can't do a simple thing like go into a shop without wanting to run away I really wanted to look around but I grabbed what I needed and ran to the que, but I did go back in a second time cause my little boy wanted some chocolate, it wasent so bad the second time but I couldn't wait to get home.

[sadia]

I knw that feeling so well I can't go any where with out wanting to run home.. I've only been out once a twice on my own and I panic for the first few minutes and think I should turn around and run home but I don't.. Yh the back of my head is hurting and my neck feels sore and tingly

[shelley15]

Same as me I got half way and was going to run home but I wanted to achieve something so I just carried on even though I thought I was going to fall over and die any second, hate it so much. I thought I would be okay on my own cos I managed to get the bus own my own a few weeks ago, I think I was so anxious because I haven't left my house since last week and I can't remember the last time I left before that. I keep telling myself I need to go for a walk everyday to get rid of all this tension but its easier said than done lol

[sadia]

I know what u mean I tell my self stuff like that and when it comes to the day I don't.. Sometimes I have to force my self to have a shower lol that's how bad it gets

[Sarah_1292]

Dont worry, this is exactly how my panic disorders started, every single thing you said I can relate to, I couldnt leave the house as I would freeze up, the first time I left the house I saw a herse and threw up round the corner thinking it was a sign...i wasnt even at the bottom of my street, I ran back home and stayed there, it started after my parents went on holiday for 2 weeks and left me home alone, I panicked they would find me dead, if the dogs barked at night I was confident it was because they could see the thing that was about to make its way upto me to take me away, I wasnt sleeping, when I ate I thought it was stuck so made myself sick constant trapped wind (does hurt your tummy) and I was kicked from college, my life was on hold, I started reading about the symptoms of panic attacks as each day I when I managed little sleep I would wake up having a panic attack and it lasted, all day, this was ongoing for a month till eventually I realized, nothing is coming for me, I read symptoms of a panic attack each time I had one and it confirmed for me it was a panic attack and calmed me down, I over come it this way! Dont give up l! Xx

[sadia]

My stomach hurts a lot and also gets the anxious butterfly feeling.. I've just got it in my head that my dead relative is standing there staring at me and I can't figure it out if it's my imagination because I can't see her she's not visible like I can't see her body but my mind is saying she's there just looking at me then I can picture her face.. This has happened to me a few times before and each time I think it's those signs of death like I'm going to die

[Sarah_1292]

Yeah, thats completely in your head, you think really she's there to "take you away" like I thought ect. My mum thought she saw a ghost and she told me and my aunt and I went upstairs and stayed there and waited. I thought that was it, it was my time.

Your mind can do incredible things like really make you believe your dying but think about it....How long has this been happening, how many times have you woke up and thought "today's my last day" and how many times have you been proven wrong! I can gaurentee (can't spell that word) that its all in your head, every bit of it. and its gribbed you like many others and took who you are away and turned you into this shell! when you wake up start thinking "well I was fine yesterday, I'l be fine today) I completely know its harder said than done but a little bit of positive thought about the fact you were prooven wrong might go a long way!

[sadia]

I know your right, my dads always said if you were dying, u really wouldn't be able to say you are, or talk about what you can vision.. Its like u said its easier said then done.. I think positve for a few moments and then the feeling comes, back and I get these chills in my body and I think oh no.. Have u ever got chills? I've almost woke up everyday thinking I'm dying at first it was really bad but calmed down.. Now past few days started again.. I was doing so good like feeling better.. Then it started again

[sadia]

You know when you have a bout of anxiety, does it feel different from the last one.. By this I mean the 1st time I had this I was always a wreck like completely frightened all the time.. And I was very vocal about it, this time I'm having a small bout but I'm trying to ignore most of it is that normal is it because my body is use to it, I know what to expect before it's going to happen.. I would really appreciate some insight..

[cls1033]

it may feel like you are going mad but you dont

[sadia]

Went to the doctors earlier on today, told her what I have been going through, and I started crying.. Feeling really low and anxious lately and seeing things as I mentioned the other day

[shelley15]

Went to the doctors earlier on today, told her what I have been going through, and I started crying.. Feeling really low and anxious lately and seeing things as I mentioned the other day

Aww I hope your okay, I've booked a doctors appointment for next week I'm feeling low again. I always burst in to tears everytime I go there. What did she say? I hope she understood and helped you. I've just made a claim to be put in ESA.

[sadia]

Aww I hope your okay, I've booked a doctors appointment for next week I'm feeling low again. I always burst in to tears everytime I go there. What did she say? I hope she understood and helped you. I've just made a claim to be put in ESA.

She was helpful and said she understands, I was telling her that my brains always switched on even when I'm asleep she said that's understandable.. Still feeling the same but glad that i told her in a way.. Aww hope everything's ok why you feeling low? It's good you've put a claim in its one less worry

[shelley15]

That's good in glad she understood, sometimes makes you feel better when you tell someone you don't really no, gets it off your shoulders. Just feeling really depressed that I can't go in a shop or out and do anything, feel like a zombie all the time and tension headaches everyday, really annoying I was going really well for the past couple weeks now I feel like I'm back to square one plus I don't want to live far from my friends and family anymore everything's just getting me down. Yeah in glad I've made a claim for that now hopefully it was the right thing to do as I was in job seekers allowance.

[sadia]

I feel exactly the same I was doing so good now going down hill again.. I've also been referred to thing scheme called let's talk.. Where you get to talk to counsel lords and stuff just waiting to here from them.. You should apply for a flat closer to your family if it would make you feel better..

[shelley15]

That's good, that's what I did but in are area it's called talking Theripes, might make you feel better talking to someone it did with me I just hated walking there and home. Yeah I've been trying to but there all to expensive nearer my family :(

[sadia]

Awww bless try somewhere close as u can.. I know will see how this therapy stuff will go.. Just need some help

[shelley15]

Yeah I defo am. Let me no how it goes, hopefully you will feel better and it will help

[sadia]

Thanks Shelly seriously would not know what to do without you and JUDIE on this forum.. At the moment my left arm is aching and that's worrying me now, I think it because my backs always tense and aching it's all connected I hope..

[shelley15]

Aww same, makes me feel like I'm not alone. I keep getting pains in my head making me think I've got a brain tumour but your right its proberly all the tension in our bodies, plus I'm so tired and my eyes keep going blurry and I keep feeling spaced out ahhh wish all this pain would go away!

[sadia]

I was thinking I had brain tumors last week.. Well I've just checked my blood pressure 3 times and it ranges from 100/60 to 103/65 and pulse ranges from 80/83 so that's normal can be heart problems.. Lol.. I've got in this thing where I have to check my bp few times a week..

[shelley15]

Its stupid I no I don't have a brain tumour though its just with a pain my brain tells me its deadly! Just think we had are eyes checked recently they would of seen something. Do you have a blood pressure machine? I wouldn't be able to have one if them I would scare myself even more!

[sadia]

Yh I have the machine it's my dad's but I think I use it the most.. I have to check it to make sure my heart is beating normal.. I know I asked the optician if I had a tumor would you be able to tell and he was yeh we check for swelling and stuff

[shelley15]

I defo wouldn't be able to have one if them, I would proberly get it wrong and think I'm dying! Lol! I asked that to and she said the same, wish our brains would stop thinking stupid things

[sadia]

I know we never programmed our brains to mess up like they have, just wish we knew how to get them back to normal

[sadia]

Is it normal to feel physically weak and a bit off balance after you've been crying

[shelley15]

Yep I used to sleep for hours after crying and when I got up I was really off balance and disorientated, you feel week as crying takes up loads if energy. Hope you okay now

[sadia]

Yeah my head just feels wobbly when I stand up, it's like it moves.. How are you doing

[shelley15]

My heads felt like that for a couple weeks now :( I think I've got derealization as nothing seems real I feel like a zombie and everything's a dream

[sadia]

Yeah I know that feeling... At the moment I'm getting this pressure feeling pushing done at the top of my head and I can feel it in my forehead aswel.. What day have you got your doctors appointment

[shelley15]

Ahh yeah I hate that feeling I get that sometimes, next Tuesday I think I might start taking my anxiety tablets but I'm so scared to

[sadia]

Yh if you think they are going to help you, try them hun.. I haven't yet it's the fear that the doctors always says that things get worse with the tablets. For a few week before they settle in your system and that what puts me off them lol

[shelley15]

Same I don't want to feel worse than what I already do, Im so scared of the symptoms and if they don't work I'm going to give it another week see what the dr says then give them ago

[sadia]

Yeah discuss it with you doctor.. Are you doing cbt

[shelley15]

I've already done CBT, I finished beginning of august I've got my review in October.

[sadia]

Well october starts tomrw not long to go till ur review.. Last monday I reffered myself to. This thing called let's talk its counselling and stuff, u can do it over fone or go there.. Just have to wait few weeks to hear from them

[shelley15]

Oh yeah wow this month has gone so quick! So that means my review will prob be in the next few weeks. Yeah that's what we have in my area but here it's called talking Theripes. I found that the CBT worked for me until my brother passed away and then I got really badly depressed and then CBT wasent really working for me but I must admit I don't think about my health all the time I just need to tackle leaving my house. I hope it works for you just stuck at it and try and do everything they teach you.

[sadia]

I only think about my health when my anxiety kicks in.. Before all this I never use to think about my health I probably only used to go doctors once a year.. And now few times a month.. Yh I'm going to try my hardest to do everything the counsellor a say

[Sarah W]

Yes, anxiety can leave your eyes to feel persistently unfocused or sensitive to light. Get well soon!

[sadia]

Does anyone get this weird feeling after the eat, after I have eaten I get a slightly sharp feeling around my chest especially the right side and in my stomach, and it is usually is relieved when I burp and then builds back up?

[AnxietyAmbz]

heartburn and indigestion (acid and gases) I get this all the time chestpain/tightchest/funny tummy....gaviscon helps me.

[sadia]

Yh that's what exactly I have and my back feels funny too.. I've got peptac liquid

[AnxietyAmbz]

Yh that's what exactly I have and my back feels funny too.. I've got peptac liquid

Irritable bowel symptoms and acid reflux problems are common with anxiety so ive read.

[sadia]

Yeah I've heard that as wel, it's really annoying

[sadia]

Does anyone feel like they are dying but don't know why

[shelley15]

Yes I feel like that right now

[sadia]

Same here.. My stomach has that really bad anxious feeling its in knots.. Always makes me think somethng bads going to happen

[shelley15]

Yep same as me my stomach keeps making really weird noises and I think something bad will happen to me any second, that's how I get when I go out so that's why I don't go out anymore

[sadia]

I hate it, I just feel like crying feel so low... Same here it feels like I'm waiting all day for something to happen to me.. My stomach makes all these gurgling sort of noises at night when I lay down..

[shelley15]

Hey sadia how are you feeling now?

[sadia]

Abit better thanks, I just keep getting really upset that I feel off balance when I go outside. I went for a walk earlier and came in and cried but I went back out again, just wish I could walk without looking like I'm drunk or needing to hold on to something x

Aww I knw the feeling I've been feeling off balance again lately.. And everything seems much brighter

Hi ! May I make a suggestion here, without sounding critical. By talking about your symptoms all the time and comparing notes you are actually concentrating on the anxiety and in turn " feeding it". I have been where you are and I have lived please trust me when I say you need to get to a place of " nonreactive" to symptoms. Work very hard at (when you feel lousy )saying to yourself and to one another " this is just anxiety and now change the subject. As long as you think about this you give it power and trust me it,s powerful enough, it doesn't need fuel. Think about it this way;when you fall in love everything seems good, brighter, sweeter, funnier that's because your whole being is responding to your positive mindset ..your thoughts. Anxiety is your body's response to negative thoughts.Please try to support each other with statements like " this is just anxiety and my own response to negative thought and with that thought..call it a day...push through and Fake It Til You Feel It. Have a good day. Sadia, everything seems much brighter because your senses are in high alert. It's ok to feel off balance...it's all part of it. ...and yes anxiety still scares me but not enough to give it my life. You have more courage then you give yourself credit for. Fear is just a mindset, it's only as big as you make it.

Shelley, You are doing well. Congrats on pushing through that fear of feeling unsteady and going back outdoors. The feeling off balance going out door is " Agoraphobia" , anxiety's ( your) attempt to avoid a Panic Attack. The mind works very hard at "avoidance" of attacks and that begins to include more and more places and things with Agoraphobia ( fear of open places ) being a common deterrent. Pushing through your symptoms and facing that wobbly feeling is the only way to extinguish anxiety. Your mind has been trained ( by response to anxiety ) to fear things ( outdoors) you simply need to retrain your mind to NOT FEAR the outdoors ( or any other circumstance) by exposure..you go out..you feel lousy...you push through...you survive...You give your mind a clear message " there is nothing to fear"...Negative obsessive thoughts begin to quiet replaced with a confidence that everyone was right...it's just anxiety...keep of the good work ! I have complete faith that you and Sadia will be just fine !..Now get back out there

Thank you, I always try and do something a second time if I don't do well the first time, if I go in a shop and panic and run out I will go in there again. Yep I hate going outside I have really bad agoraphobia always think something will happen to me but your right I no its just anxiety but the symptoms are so bad sometimes I just burst into tears. It gets me down so much that I can't go anywhere and even when I try to go to the shop I feel so unsteady I think everyone is staring at me. I really appreciate your advise your so right! Wish my brain would believe it.

Shelley, Your brain will believe it " eventually" , it truly is all about reconditioning your mind/ body and how they react to an imagined fear. I was really agoraphobic when my anxiety disorder surfaced and I deliberately went out all the time " it was hell " but I knew that's what I had to do..think of it as a little kid burying themselves under the covers because they're terrified of the monster under the bed..the thing is burying yourself under the covers doesn't solve the problem and there is No Monster under the bed...so lots of hiding for no reason. Here is the most interesting thing I know about anxiety...the whole idea that you think everyone can see the anxiety, the wobbly legs etc...they can't !!! I have been in the throws of anxiety and no one could see it. Seems crazy to us but it's the truth....this is an internalized illness, all going on inside of us, mostly our heads...and a few horrific bodily symptoms racing heart ( happens whenever someone gets scared or exercises) wobbly legs ( runners always have these) dizziness, lightheadedness ( allergies, standing up to quickly, a couple of drinks ) my point is this don't worry so much about what others are thinking ( this is VERY common with anxiety disorder, we tend to have low self esteem) Trust me the majority of people out there are too preoccupied with what's going on with them , their own insecurities,to take note of yours. I couldn't walk across a room at my bad points, so know that I believe you are doing just great, Sadia too ! It's ok to sit down and cry if you are overwhelmed and then stand up and push yourself a little further. Say to yourself " I did it " and I'll keep doing this until this gives up on me because I won't give up on me !
