You sound just like me! I had a bad reaction to Zoloft in the past, thought I was going to be committed to a psych ward. Has me scared to this day to try other meds. But I do still suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, I take lexapro daily for years because I was desperate at one point but it has stopped working long ago. When I get a panic attack I use relaxation techniques or distraction til they pass. It sucks.

You may not even realize it but subconsciously you are suffering. It takes a toll on your body. It presents in so many ways: pain, fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, dizziness, trouble concentrating, etc. I have a new symptom every month and every month I am convinced that I'm dying until I see a specialist , get a shitload of tests, and eventually become reassured that I'm okay enough to ignore the Dr's advice. And then starts the next symptom. 😩 So you see what you may not realize is stress/anxiety, your body is seeing it differently. I get tension headaches and migraines too. Went to a neurologist, had a thorough work up and was told that I need to get more sleep, relax, and take hot showers. Also I was given several meds to take which I still have yet to try. If you don't need meds that's great. But if you're still feeling crappy and the docs can't find the reason why, 9/10 it's stress!!! So stop overthinking, start trying to relax and stop searching for new problems. You have plenty of time for that when you're old.

I completely agree with you..it started with a panic attack I've always been able to shake it off just taking longer to shake this off.. I've had so many tests done and it can only be anxiety stress related headaches..and i def think way too much about it lol. I appreciate your advice thank you
