My anxietys been gone all day, it is slightly coming back right now though due to heart palpitations. Even though I'm pretty sure it's because I'm overly tired. Definitely going to go to my GP to get reassurance my heart is okay though. Maybe then I'll be able to sleep without worry. I have this weird phobia of the heart. It's strange, I think. I don't like hearing or feeling a heart beat. It freaks me out, I think because I'm afraid to hear or feel it stop.
My boyfriend (who doesnt struggle with anxiety at all) has a phobia of this too, he wont ever let me check his pulse.
im the opposite, im constantly checking my pulse is okay.
i struggle to sleep too though sometimes, i think its a fear of not being in control while you are sleeping, you should deffo go to your gp just for peace of mind, im sure you will be fine though as heart palpiltations are a common symptom of anxiety arent they.
Is your doctor nice to you? my doctors a bit of a dick, i think he feels that im a time waster, i dont think he thinks anxiety is a real illness.
Glad to know I'm not alone on the phobia thing, I had yet to find someone with it!
I know, palpitations are a normal thing from anxiety & I'm pretty sure I create them because I focus too much on it, but after getting it checked I'll be okay. And yes my GP is super nice.
Some doctors are super assholes. I'm sorry yours is a dick. Get a new one! You need a understanding one. Anxiety is an illness, everyone knows that your doctor must not care
i had a therapist awhile ago for my anxiety and he made fun of it. It was terrible. I don't understand how these professionals can do that.
I have an obsession with my heart.. I'm afraid of it but need to know my pulse at all times. It's weird! I can have two palpitations a day that last a second and have no other symptoms but still focus on those two and worry incessantly about dying suddenly because of them.
So you are not alone with this at all! I hate feeling my heart beat when I lay down too and so does my sister.
