Hello all!
So I've been dealing with anxiety for approximately 8 years now. I'm 27 years old and generally I'm probably pretty healthy.
Trouble is I have very mild symptoms which tend to be regular. like i have a mild pain that hits me in the left of my ribs feeling like it's on the inside. I used to get worse anxiety which felt like it was at the heart, again it's never very painful just mild but relatively constant in some area of my body. I regularly have a bad stomach. The big issue is that I live in China and it's extremely hard to communicate with doctors here, and to be perfectly honest I don't totally trust the doctors... you don't get real time with them, it's like in do a couple of tests and get you out as quickly as possible. They said I was fine and maybe I am... But I feel pain is there for a reason right?
I just, my anxiety keeps manifesting in different ways... I feel like I've beaten it, then it changes to a different pain... it's weird... I just don't know if my fears are justified.
I brought myself to post today because I suddenly woke up at 2am because I was dreaming that I couldn't breathe, woke up fine but it freaked me out...
compared to other people here I guess my symptoms are lame... but even though they're mild I can't stop being freaked out that I have various illnesses or problems
anyone else feel this way? Like it's just a niggling demon, rather than a full on pain panic?
