Michaela83974 ... Anxiety is a total nightmare. When I lost my uncle 2 years ago to a heart attack I thought every time I had a pain that I was having a heart attack. Anxiety will control every part of your life if you let it. I have had really bad anxiety since middle school and I am now 35. I can control it somewhat better now so I totally understand how you feel. Its like doom all day every day. Having someone who has experienced it to talk to always made me feel better. Please feel free to message me anytime. I'm New to this site and I'm so glad I found it.
Michaela83975 I'm also a nurse and let me tell you it dosent make anxiety any easier to deal with.

Michaela83975 Idk how to private message either. I'm new to this. I tried to send you my personal email and it won't let me. Grrr
Ok I figured it out. I sent u a private message.
I am also new to this site and would love someone to chat with. I'm a stay-at-home mother and being at home alone all day with a baby leaves me terrified about her safety if anything were to happen to me. I have suffered through anxiety my whole life, but being responsible for another life has sent my hypochondria into maximum overdrive. Once you figure out the site, let me know and hopefully we can exchange info?
I just figured out how to private message. I was a stay at home mom for years myself and my anxiety made my taking care of my oldest so hard. Before I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder I was a really really really bad hypochondriac. I had my self diagnosed with so many different diseases it was ridiculous. By reading and learning about anxiety/depression it helped me become somewhat less of a hypochondriac but I still have my days where I'm a disaster. My oldest who is 16 has anxiety also and we help each other get through the panic attacks and scary moments. I'm a single parent who is just going back into the work force fulltime after being out for a few years with my youngest and let me tell you , it's hard. Some days I wanna lay down and cry but then I think I have to be strong for My kids cause without me there all alone. I find it very helpful to talk to ppl who suffer like I do. It reminds me that I'm not all alone. And with anxiety feeling like ur the only one who has these issues is very scary for me.
I need help too deal with my anxiety I really need someone to talk to if u could fine a way to message me I will be great ful. .....everyday I think I'm going to die of a hearth attack I can't live like this...
Hey,
Did you read my post to your previous thread? About the challenges investigating symptoms, types of symptoms, symptoms vs signs, non-specific and medically unexplained symptoms, good clinical diagnostic practice & good clinical laboratory practice (world health organisation), symptomatology, epidemiology and tests helped me understand my heart (british heart foundation) that should provide some counter balance and rationale to your health concerns but it's probable the sudden death of a relative is causing much distress and concern about your own health..
Shortness of breath is varied and non-specific symptom existing in many health conditons which needs investigating to rule out serious life threatining conditions
What sort of complaints can be 'unexplained'?
Medically unexplained symptoms tend to be quite general problems, such as:
fatigue
pain
headaches
heart palpitations
shortness of breath
dizziness and feeling sick
These are often experienced alongside depression and/or anxiety (see "What's the connection between mental and physical health?" below). (NHS Choices)
Read the full article as stress, anxiety, depression etc. etc. are symptoms which can be primary (producing somatic symptoms) or secondary (in response to ill health or prolong uncertainty),, also it'll prove benefical if you take proactive and preventive measures to improve your overall vascular and circulatory health - I've taken mine for granted for several years leading a physcially inactive sedentry lifestyle with an unbalanced diet solely consisting of comfort foods and binge eating contributing to my health concerns yet generalist physcians write me off as a somatiser / worried well patient dispite my very real risk factors of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and whole host of prevalent conditions I'm a sitting duck for disease which only I can make the necessary changes with or without the support of my generalist physcian and plan to utilize online health information services as well as techniques/tools to log, track, and monitor my progress.. you shouldn't be scared of online health information just keep on reading/searching as it's all out their
Sandra95923 I understand exactly what u mean and I hate it. It's absolutely miserable to be that way. Its like is this how im going to be all my life and I think back to when I didn't have anxiety and how happy and care free I was. I want to be that way again and it's like how can I do it. Nothing use to stand in my way and now anxiety stands in My way everyday of my life. I'm so greatful that I found this website cause hearing how other ppl are makes me feel less crazy. I hate to say it but I'm glad I'm not alone. I would love to go an hour and not feel anxiety. Having someone who can relate to how I feel is such a comfort.
I just want to be normal everybody looks at me like I'm crazy Im making everything up just for attention nobody understand and I fill tire of this I want to enjoy life like I use too
Sandra I completely understand. I say those same words everyday. I'm much better now than I use to be but I'm by far normal. Just when I think I'm getting a better grip on my anxiety .. Bam it hits me like a ton of bricks and I feel like I have been knocked down. Ur definitely not alone. What u and I feel with our anxiety a million other ppl feel it too. Having someone to relate to makes me feel so much better and not as crazy. I'm always here to chat. Keep ur head up and remember ur not alone.
