Hello, I've come here to seek advice on how to manage my anxiety.
I started having anxiety attacks and in general being an anxious person around a year ago, I didn't tell nobody until last week. At first I presumed it was a health condition, and because of my hypochondria this only made it worse, I went to the doctors, they said it nothing was wrong......My symptoms I feel on a day to day basis at the moment are:
Vertigo
Rapid heart beat
sweating- profuse
tight pressure around my forehead and sometimes the back of my head.
fidgeting, worse than it sounds.
Cold hands often coupled with pins and needles.
High blood pressure.
Brain fog.
Worry- debilitating
Loss of concentration
My vertigo is originally caused by a problem with my ear, my doctor says ( I worry it's A BRAIN TUMOUR), but is aggravated immensely by my anxiety, as soon as I drift into a anxiety attack my field of vision narrows and I feel like I am on a rollercoaster......
From the mental side of things: I am a constant worrier; the most minor of symptoms will send me into a horrible panic. I worry in a particular way which is irrational on reflection when I am calm ( extremely rare, even now my heart is racing etc), but when I'm not I devise a problem solving mechanism which seems to be SELF defeating.
Anxiety runs in my family; my mum and my brother suffer from it so, I have been exposed to it from a very early age, I am now 16. My brother has controlled his anxiety with Yoga and meditation no tablets! HOW? HAHA. My mum unfortunately has been scared quite badly from her most severe times of anxiety.
I am quite introverted and enjoy philosophy and snooker!
I hope everyone is doing well with their anxiety and hope you all are happy!
