Hi
im new to this anxiety world and im really struggling to cope with it. In january this year I was going through a really stressful time with university and was working two jobs. After an interview and a really stressful day I nearly passed out, since then I have not been the same.
I have been constantly worrying something is wrong with me in my head. I have really bad panic attacks, I am getting to the point where I dont want to leave the house incase something happens to me and I am not seeing any of the people I care about.
I have alot of the symptome of anxiety but still worrying I have something more serious. I am waiting on my results from a brain scan which my doctor sent me for as he thinks I have labrynthitis (as im having dizzy spells) but whilst I am waiting for these results my anxiety has gone through the roof!!!!
I feel like I am going crazy and my life is on hold which is not like me in the slightest as I was a very bubbly and confidnet person before this happened.
does anybody have any advice to help me get through this I could really use some!!

Hello,

Glad to meet you. I completely understand what you are going through. Last year about this time (May, June), my world turned upside down with good and very bad things happening. I counted it after I went through everything and there were about 9 things that happened.

I will tell you that it is a year later and I am better but not the same as I use to be either. Some things that have helped me was some meds (if you are ok with that), therapy (which you can get all sorts of things off your chest) and only get advise and someone to listen to you.

I'm still feeling anxious a lot of the time but relaxing when you can and knowing that you can't put that much things on you again. I had to cut out some things and change some things in my life to feel better. So if you can cut out some things do what you can. I realized that one person can't do it all.

Hope this helps some. Have a good day.
