i can't do this anymore, I'm suffering badly now. I'm physically ill and I don't believe my anxiety is causing this. The nausea and the head pressure is too real. They changed my meds yesterday from 60mg fluoxetine as if wasn't agreeing with me to my fluoxetine and 15 mg mirtazapine.
I geel eel like this is never going to get better! Like there's a dark cloud over me. All I want to do is sleep! I'm scared I'm going crazy! I'm also scared of losing people who matter to me and my job
i I know ive been through this before but it's never been like this. Pleas, if someone has been as desperate as me but has gotten better please reply? I'm so so so scared of life and I just don't feel real anymore! Will this get better?
Also so has anyone ever experienced like chills/goosebumps over a side of their head?!
I can promise you it does get better, remain strong. I have been where you are, every headache petrified me, I was convinced I was dying and had a tumour and GP's had missed it.
You are unfortunately in the strong grips of anxiety at the moment, but I promise you if you remain strong you will beat this.
Xx
How do we know Its anxiety though and not something more? Every single sensation in my body sends me into panic mode xxx
Yes, keep strong, try to do normal things even if they are boring, go out for a walk, try to do "small talk" with anyone out there, you will come out of it, i just hope and wish your doctor could give you something suitable, talking also to a counsellor as soon as you can will really help, dont suffer this alone. Be strong, as much as you can, tell yourself ouloud, i will not allow this to rule me!!! .xx
Quite simply if it was anything more your gp would have picked it up. I know it doesn't feel like it now, but it does ease and you will be able to see that anxiety are the triggers for all these symptoms you are experiencing at the moment.
It does get better xx
The doctor told me to put sticky notes up saying 'I will get better' etc
so I can wake up to them every morning! Thinking about doing that.xxx
its just hard to understand that anxiety can cause actual real physical symptoms
like sickness and pain
how is that even possible xxxx
Yes!! Brilliant idea!, im going to do that too. I live alone so ive got no one each morning to tell me that, so def do that. X
I never thought that possible, but the brain is a powerful thing and it does happen, so train your brain to go along the right track x
Aww it's ok if you need someone I'll give you a message! There's nothing better than knowing that other people have been in the same situation as you xx
Yes, it is comforting!, you,re not alone, try to chill this evening. X
irs crazy! Thank you so much
xxxx
Take care of YOURSELF. !!!! Xxxxx
Hi Rhianna, my daughter gets chills goosebumps and tingly over the side of her head and the back of her head too. She's overcoming her anxiety by changing the way she thinks.
There is hope. Today is our second day fighting the anxiety and its working so far. We pray now and im so happy to say that today is our second day without medicine.
I did have several panic attacks today and I had to pray. It worked but it keeps trying to creep up because I have too much time with my mind andI start thinking or over thinking everything i feel and that's also the main cause of these attacks but I'm training my brain to calm down and think differently.
Have faith, and try to be strong. God bless you. Im here for you.
Thank you very much. I'm trying today to not let it beat me by just going to bed, instead I'm going to make sure I stay awake and fight it rather than just taking the easy option xxxx
Hi Rhianna,
Sorry to hear your in a really low place... I promise you it does get better!!! I've been suffering from anxiety/depression for years! And recently have started antidepressants to help ease this.
I've convinced myself I have every illness in the world and its not anxiety...it's your mind playing tricks on you! Don't let it sweetie.
Every time I have a down day I listen to my favourite songs or watch my fave film...so if takes my mind of anxiety.
You will get there...and you will be so strong when your better lovely.
Keep going. Big hugs xxxxx
Aww thank you! I was on fluoxetine 40mg but I thinki had like a breakthrough depression cos they stopped working so they put me on 60 which made me terrible.. I started a new one 3 days ago with 20mg of my other one and I already feel better
hopefully this will continue !!! Thank you for your advice! It's just hard to believe that anxiety can cause all these physical symptoms xxxxxx
It feels like you'll never feel better at the momnent - but this will pass when you get the right dose of your meds. And then you can start to battle the main issues a bit easier.
You say you have been through this in the past - so you are at an advantage to others, as you have got through this before, so you know that you can get through it again.
Try and be honest with your friends and loved ones, so that they can help support you and (if you feel that you can) your work. You don't need the added stress that worrying about all these people and things is causing you.
You will get better - it just takes time. Take every day as it comes. You can do it. I know you can and more importantly deep down, you know you can, as you've done it before.
