im looking for a friended who can understand what I'm going through.
Ive been having the most severe anxiety of my life for over a year. My heart pounds and hurts, I fear that I'm dying daily. I'm constantly drained and tired but when I try to take a nap, my heart pounds so hard I can feel it in my teeth. My entire life is just a new day with new symptoms: aching limbs, tension headaches, blurry vision, ringing ears, dissociation, and the list goes on and on.
People around me couldn't care less, my parents have accused me of being lazy for years and it certainly hasn't changed now. I'm just very alone in this.
Im a 25 year old woman in the US, I don't care how old you are or what walk of life you come from, I just need a friend who can understand.
Hi AudreyH, I'm Karen I'm from the uk. I understand everything your going through, I've had this awful illness nearly 20 years on and off. Worse the past year. I'm 50 and going through menapause which makes my anxiety even worse x
Hi, I'm a 57 year old from the UK, I completely understand what you are going through.
I have suffered for over 30 years and it is horrendous! It impacts on every aspect of your life.

Hi crystal your not alone on this darl. It's a virtuous circle we all live in. I have been like this on and off 18 years. But you have to learn to control it and not let it control you, I know it's easier said than done. X
Hi, I'm Kay Kay from United States I'm 33 and I kno what your feeling . I have been through a series of tests and bloodwork and everything seems to come back fine. I am constantly in pain throughout my whole body muscle spasms it literally feels like my veins are vibrating. I struggle with the same thing you do people think that I'm nuts when I try to explain to them how I'm feeling. So I have learned how to not just say anything at all. That port is what makes me more anxious because the way I'm feeling I can't explain to anyone because they think I'm nuts LOL I would love to be your new friend
Audrey. Plenty of lovely people here who really understand you and glad to offer support. Totally relate to how desperate this makes you feel and all the symptoms etc. I too thought family just thought pull yourself together but over the years as I have learned to cope better they have showed support and said they didn't realise, and just didn't understand( I get it, they can't understand what it feels like unless they have it. Plenty of support here, I'm 40 , currently in Scotland, talk anytime, great to see so many replies , hope you feel reasured, you're not alone❤️
I hear you ! Am 29 from UK lots on here who would love to help you through.. must be tough when no one around understands my mum and sister have suffered so they can relate with me but my husband doesn't and so a can feel very alone sometimes to...
Hi Audrey. I'm May, 21 y/o from UK. I have been dealing with anxiety and moderate depression for almost 1 year now. If you ever need to talk about just hit me up.
