I've had troubles with anxiety and depression before 3 years ago but it seemed that with medications i overcomed the problem but at the past but this 5-6 months im a total mess...I constantly think that im gonna die , that i have cancer or tumor and im just affraid of happines as black thoughts are always on my mind...I've had blood test , EKG , EHO everything was negative and last time i went to neurosurgeon about headeachess and strange feelings he said that everything is ok with me but he booked me up TR fo 22.09...Im also having troubles with swallowing lately so u can just imagine what is going through my thoughts as my uncle died from chowing (but he was sick - he could take care of himself)...Im really messed up right now as i am in constant fear...Was anyone at this situation and what can help....Thanks
I've been reading down through all the forums and can relate to must but your message just describes my symptoms to a T.
I've suffered with anxiety/panic attacks for years and recently I've had to go back on meds. The panic attacks have came down buy it's the thoughts that are a killer I find I'm battling them all the time. Every pain, twinge and shake I have I assume the worst.
I have used 'head space ' the app and I find it good with helping you change your relationship with your thoughts although you have to be in a place to apply it and when I'm bad I can't.
I exercise too I run and to yoga which helps to tire me out so I'll sleep I'm not a great sleeper.
At the moment I've pains in my neck, shooting pains in my head and the find it hard to swallow it's like a weird pain in my throat. I also worry about random pains that I think are clots and are going to go to my head and kill me Of course I am also thinking the worst so don't feel alone reading your post tonight has helped me a bit. I'm not the only one 🤗
I try to remember that my thoughts are only thoughts that's all they are they are not facts. I tell them to 'F*#K OFF' when they start! God I sound crazy!!
Hi
Sorry to hear your having a rough time. Anxiety also makes me feel as though I am dying. I suffer badly with health anxiety mainly focused on my heart due to the palpitations but I also look for other illness such as cancer. Its a vicious circle. Anxiety can make you have a choking feeling or to feel that you cant swallow properly. I get this all the time when feeling anxious. I also feel like I have thick mucus in my throat sometimes. If doctor has given you the all clear physically maybe you should ask for some therapy or anxiety medication. Anxiety can present with a trillion symptoms and they will all have you believe your dying or going crazy. When we are anxious we become hypersensitive to everything, pain, heartbeat, thoughts, feelings...it all makes us feel rubbish and as though there is something physically wrong when there isnt.
