Hey guys, me again. So just now at work it happened again.. I was cashing out a customer and all of a sudden I started panicking and couldn’t think.. my upper back is always hurting from sitting at a desk all day and all of a sudden felt like I couldn’t breathe. Now I’m just sitting here trying so hard to act normal but inside my heart is pounding and feels like I can’t get a deep breath.. I was doing good for a week and now it’s all coming back.. My coworker asked me a question and I felt like I was underwater.. Like I couldn’t even think to respond because I am so consumed in my thoughts and my anxiety..I hate feeling this way because it’s so hard to convince myself this isn’t anxiety.. right now I feel shaky, dizzy, short of breath, heart pounding, and exhausted..Trying to tell myself nothing is psychically wrong with me.. (I’ve had every test in the books, but convince myself something has just popped up) how do you guys function at work like this?? I’m so tired of this happening and can’t take Xanax everyday because it makes me too tired!!😭
Hi Miranda
On Monday I experience the somethin similar and I do suffer from ansiety but Monday I was at the front desk w a customer and my right eye was blurr and I keep together and when I sat down on my desk working on the computer i couldn’t think of the document like for 20 minutes i got up and my right hand was tingly and my face . I called 911. And I talk just fine . I went to the ER and they did all heart test , Ct scan, all normal they told me that I maight have a TIA and my ansiety is bad worrying.
Ansiety is no fun. Take deep breaths like I do
Are you taking any meds?
Hi Miranda, it is anxiety so nothing else to worry about ok?
I work but it is with great difficulty so I know exactly how you feel, and if you’re like me you’ll feel trapped and unable to escape, this is torture..there are two reasons I push myself to work one is the money, the second is equally important and that’s facing my fears in the hope of overcoming them...I’ve just come across this book ‘Self help for your nerves’ by Dr Claire Weekes I got the kindle edition for a few £’s. It explains how we are frightened of the physical symptoms, how this is keeping anxiety going and how with practice and time anxiety can be managed. I think it could help you and recommend you get a copy...PS I HOPE YOU ARE FEELING MUCH BETTER NOW
