I feel weak, like my skin is dripping off my bones, like I have no energy to even feel anything, like I can't fully feel stress or respond to it, and I fear parasympathetic rebound, like what if my parasympathetic nervous system just knocks me out and kills me by stopping my heart?
wow that really is a lot of symptoms!! ive had quite a few of them!
total number is scaring, it's hard to imagine that someone experiences everything at once
Has anybody ever experience mood swings between elation/relief (everything is going well) and extreme anxiety? I seem to function on these two extremes lately. Feelings may switch multiple times during the day.
I have had many of these symptoms over the years. I've suffered from bad anxiety. I read a book that has helped me almost eliminate my weird symptoms completely. It's called "Hello Happy & Goodbye Worries" and I think it's by the author Kate Love. You can find the book by searching Amazon for that title.
I've heard this book has helped many sufferers get rid of their weird anxiety symptoms & it definitely has helped me come a long way!
It's amazing how similar symptoms can be with people who suffer from anxiety. When I first went to my Doctor and had to explain to him how I was feeling, I didn't think I'd be able to describe it correctly and that what I was describing was unique and he might not understand it. After going through some tests to make sure that I wasn't dying from a heart attack he said that I was suffering from anxiety. I remember thinking..Anxiety?!?! but what about these physical feelings I'm having? How can anxiety cause me to feel like i'm about to have a heart attack. After doing some research and reading other peoples symptoms,I was extremely surprised on how similar everyone else's symptoms where to mine. It feels good to know I'm not alone because you do have thoughts of being crazy and alone when going through something like this, especially when people around you tell you "just don't worry".
Only sort of got on to the fact I was having anxiety problems recently, after I was just not feeling myself but was diagnosing myself with all kinds of serious conditions etc..
my symptoms have changed last couple of months, to begin with I was having a lot of trouble concentrating in work, and couldnt keep my legs still, I then had 2/3 weeks worth of being unable to get to sleep-, vision problems etc
Now more recently ive had bad back and neck pain and a sort of numbness feeling in my arms and legs, aswell as constantly being tired
My husband and I even call them "a marathon". I even have to take a nap from exhaustion from the racing heart and impending doom.
I just want to say Thank you for all the wonderful info and help I have gotten today from reading every post in this discussion. I have been to numerous doctors and off course nothing is wrong with me....now I am going to beat this with every ones help. :)
If there's too much anxiety going on in my head, I definitely get headaches and my muscles get sore. I think once I felt so anxious I literally fell ILL for one week. That was back when I was engaged to a woman with 3 toddlers, LOL.
hi ! i am new here...to the site...to all of this actually
i apologise if i am writing the wrong place, but can you guys answer me whether or not confusion , not being able to think strait is one of the simptoms of anxiety ?
i've been diagnosed with anxiety for a year now, it comes and goes, but i particularly find it hard cu think strait, or answer questions even though i am sure i know the answer to...to access information...
today my anxiety was triggerd by an incident...while talking with a friend, trying to make plans, i switched saturday for sunday(i realised my mistake eventualy)...i was so embarrassed...i seemed to be fine and all of a sudden...i felt like i was chocking and was going to die of dementia ... my concern is that i was fine BEFORE , i was not anxious to have triggered the panic i felt...
the other day, my husband said grandma was leaving town for the day. later on, i asked where she was, my husband reminded me she left....and anxiety again! i remembered exactly the place i was when he said she was leaving, what i was wearing, nuts right??? i remembered him telling me, but why did i ask about her if i knew the answer? i cannot seem to acces information when i need it ! does that happen to anyone else?
could anyone help me with answers? i had neuro consult, says i'm fine (said i was fatigued), i don't take medication , just trying methods to control everything, but sometimes i get confused , i try to remember everything...it cannot be normal to find my jeans in the sock drawer, could it? i don't remember putting them there, never have done that...please help ! do i need to get further testet? is it just lack of concentration ? or the fear of being wrong ? do i put too much pressure on myself ?
thanks for reading this , i await anxiously :p your thoughts
