Oh tell me about it,I was always the same,oh that pain in my head had to be something I bad etc etc,I've been like this for years and I now know that anxiety is a full of bull,yes the panic attacks scare me but I now have no fear of that pain as I know it's nothing it's just the lie of the anxiety up to its tricks again
It makes you so tired to battle with your own mind I know,one minute your ok and the next bam an off we go again

It usually lasts until the anxiety goes down a bit I'm afraid, which makes it hard, as you have anxiety about the pains, but need anxiety to go to get rid of them!

I felt ill for or a very very long time cos of anxiety, hopefully it'll be much sooner for you Meli!

Hi,

I had a tension headache for about 7 weeks through anxiety and it went away with 4 acupuncture sessions. Stress/anxiety can have such a powerful impact on the body ! I've had major appetite problems too and chronic nausea ( which is now getting better). I used to think I had brain tumour too, then stomach cancer - now it's cervical ! I have health anxiety and getting CBT for it and it's slowly getting better but it takes time.

I also remember saying not long ago "how come I feel this ill from anxiety, it can't be JUST anxiety" it's very common to think you are seriously ill when suffering from anxiety. I recommend a book; 'self help for your nerves' by Claire weekes. Explains a lot about the physical symptoms/mind/body

I've been battling through with one thing after another for a few months. I'm reading the book by Dr. Weekes right now. Hope you feel better soon. You're definitely not alone.
