My anxiety comes and goes

Mental health

Hi

I've had GAD for 4 months now, I'm basically wondering wether anyone else finds there anxiety comes and goes? For example right now I feel fine but then all of a sudden it comes on full force without any warning?

I now argue with myself wether I actually have anxiety or not because right now I feel ok.

Hiya Rory

Yeah I'm exactly the same I can be absolutely fine then all of a sudden I come over all dizzy like I'm going to pass out and can't get my breath, everytime it happens I think something bad will happen to me but I'm still here lol

Hey!

Thank you kirsty.

Now as I'm writing this I have butterflies and my heartbeat is getting faster haha.

I don't worry something really wrong with me? I'm sorry you do!

I get like this when I know I have to do something like go out to the shops or meet with friends

Yeah I had a fast rapid heart beat and palpitations I'm on tablets now which have really helped it as I went to hospital four times cos of it but everything was normal, it's hard to get your head round that anxiety can cause all these symptoms, I started with it about a month ago just came out of blue, what other symptoms do you get

5

I go all shakey and start sweating or I'm really figity and can't stay still. right now I can feel my heart thumping through my chest. But some days it's there but manageable and some days I just can't manage it at all

6

Also some situations I can do but some I can't. For example I could go get a coffee and I'm fine but the next day I could do exactly the same and be a mess and panic

7

Yeah I'm exactly the same and I also get pain in my chest, are you not on any medication for it, Cos your heart is beating so fast you will go dizzy it's awful

8

No some how I manage it. But are you the same? Some situations are easy and some are just a no go?

I couldn't manage been like that I was a lot worse than I am now I'm so glad the beta blockers calmed. My heart down as it was racing more or less all time, yeah Im exactly same

I have to go get some food now and knowing I have to do that my heart beat has got faster. I just don't get anxiety. I don't get how some situations are fine and some arent

I know it's weird isn't it, like I get nervous going to doctors and things I don't feel comfortable with, how did it all start for you?
