Hi , nice to meet you all

Hi all
So I signed up here originally some years ago to try and find a help group , but alas never found one . Since then I have been living , coping with my anxiety but recently it seems to be flaring up in a big way .

So heres my symptoms , some of which I know are connected to anxiety and some Im not so sure . Its got to a point where its interfering with my life so much , my job , and relationships , it so hard to cope .

A feeling of something being wrong , sure Im worrying about several things but I seem to live with this feeling of dread all the time .
Not breathing properly , often I feel short of breath
Overwhelming emotions of not being able to cope with the simplest of things
Lack of drive , I used to have so much , I am a creative person but while going through this feel like its hard to motivate myself .
Often just find myself on pause like a rabbit in the headlights ..... its hard to describe , just like I can't get on with the things I need to get on with as Im stuck in this moment of confusion .
Feeling of isolation , when you try and talk to people about this and they just think you are moaning , when you're truly not , there is nothing more you would like than to not have this and be able to get on with your life like normal people .

I just thought I would list a few of the things here to see if others felt / experience the same .

Thanks for your time .

My internal medicine physician told me that when you are anxious, you
may not breath properly. Most people don't understand health anxiety,
so I would only tell people you can trust.
