Hi friends!
I hope this finds you all well and happy.
I'll try to keep this intro brief...
In short, I'm 36, had my first full on Panic Attack in my early 20's, though I believe I'd had them as a child too. It's been a long journey, ups and downs, but for the most part, I have a good handle and understanding of my Anxiety and Panic attacks (I've been mainly diagnosed as having GAD). Though having said that, I've felt that even at my best, there's always been a trigger, or symptoms lurking around the corner, ready to bite me on the butt.
Due to a stressful year, I've been experiencing high levels of anxiety and now panic again (nothing like it was in the early years still, but nonetheless so frustrating, and it crushes my spirit at times, despite my usually passionate and motivated mindset) This is why I joined the forums, I think it's really healthy to be involved in a community, and in large part.. I'm really wanting to compare notes.. My physical symptoms of anxiety is what nags me the most.. I have weird triggers.. such as exertion (lifting wweights, sudden runnning etc..).. I'm confident enough that these triggers are caused in large part by anxiety, because it's when anxiety is at it's worst, the symptoms are too.
Sorry to go on, but it's for the reason stated before I finally joined up here.. I'm so down and frustrated about this, I can't even begin to tell you guys :( Even just before, the simple act of crouching down, then getting up quickly, gives me that weird hot ice feeling through my lower abdomen and back, and my heart starts racing.. I feel that adrenaline surge. All the anxiety signs. It's frustrating because after scouring Google for the longest time.. I can't find anyone else with info on this. I believe that IBS, or some form of it may play a part.
Anyway, I apologise for putting all the in my intro! But if anyone at all can relate to this sort of weird physical symptom trigger, I can't even tell you how amazing and helpful that would be. Right now I just need to reach out to others, that is so healing unto itself.
Have a great day, and I hope you all receive the healing you deserve :)
Kindest,
John. Australia.
