hey Lee I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks I also have PTSD and irritable bowel syndrome I get sick all the time and I hate it you’re not alone can we private message I would like to help you

I feel your pain bro.I’m 46 for me the symptoms are the worst and in my opinion the main cause of the anxiety.but how do we stop the symptoms…I have no idea.my just seem to get worse.for me maybe its because I feel better or at least I think I do.by not doing much.but I know that that’s not helping.but to damn afraid to do anything out of fear.its a fear of fear.so damn afraid that something is wrong with me that I have jacked up my whole life.20 + years of this carp.I just don’t understand.

I litrally just had an aniexty attack while I have just been shopping convinced I am about to have a heart attack and die!, Its my worst fear. My symptoms are .. pain in left arm(which is usually the arm for a heart attack) dizzyness, neck stiffness, breathlessness, not feeling real, blurred vison, sometimes seeing black dots, muscle spasms, heaviness on the chest and constantly thinking there is something medically wrong with me so I know exactly how your feeling!, Unfortunately I myself can not convince my brain is aniexty!, although I am on sertraline which helps a little apart from today! I have a naturally fast heart rate so I’m freaked out all the time, talking to someone really does help when there going through the same thing knowing your not alone

all of the above bro! i dont go any were ! i met a bird in rehab because i hit the drink really bad ! been sober well over 8 months ,i took her out one night (gay pride ) we had a great night and i took her back to mine ,i felt normal for about 24 hours and im mot going to lie i had some speed that some one gave me and i know it wont of helped things regarding my anxiaty issues but at the time it was great to be the old me for a bit and spend the night with a woman ! well we speek all the time and ive made plans with her a few times bow to meet up! and little does she know at one time i was actually in a mental health unit as i couldng cole and had a break down due to frustration over my ever worsening physical symtoms and constant morbid thaughts that im going to drop dead any minute ! im actually in the middle of an episode (wich is when things get to the point when im fighting the urge to go A&E or call 999 for crying out loud) i feel like a right fraggal mate! and im actually quite the oppasite

I totally agree with you guys it’s so very aggravating

Hello Lee,

If you google anxiety symptoms and find the most extensive list you can find with regard to symptoms, I’ve basically had everyone on the list and then some it feels. In reading your post here I empathized entirely. My anxiety stems from childhood…will still have the occasional nightmare, etc… Some days the physical symptoms are so bad it feels like I’ve been punched a thousand times. Likewise, I have the body wide muscle twitching, weak legs, ears ringing, blurry vision, imbalance…i could go on and on. It was really bad at one point, but I must admit…at some point, and this happened naturally, is that i was just too mentally drained to worry about all of it anymore. It’s as if my mind just stopped caring and panicking. I really didn’t care anymore about my symptoms. It’s at this point where I noticed them subsiding. It’s as if the constant worry fuels all of your symptoms. Once the worry went away somewhat, so did the symptoms. It’s nothing I consciously did or made an effort to do…it just seemed to come about naturally.
