My anxiety/depression has finally gotten the better of me

I'm finally at breaking point.. It's gotten so bad that I've been left bed ridden, I have headaches and pressure in my eyes and face that the pain is unbearable, my eyes are so and puffy, I have a horrible cough horrible sore dry throat horrible ear pain and neck pain horrible chest pain I'm weak and tired haven't slept in 3 days my body aches I feel sick I'm constantly in pain I've been to the docs and it's all my anxiety that's causing this! ANXIETY IS A C*** I hate it so so much I've been started on meds so hopefully that will help, I just don't know how much longer I can cope with this pain

Sounds more like flu symptoms. If GP says anxiety I'd go with his diagnosis and take the meds. 

My doc said it's viral but my anxiety is a lot to do with it aswell😞 I'm starting my meds today 

it'll go away with time. the more you believe it will go, the faster it goes. just stick to what doc says.

Thanks dee means a lot😊

I'm sorry you feel so awful. Hopefully the meds will help. Try to get some rest. Sending you my best wishes xx

Thank you you too xxx

Hey rachel, could it be a sinus infection with the pressure around your face?

I have chronic sinustius and just started meds but before my whole face had so much pressure, pressure in my cheeks, eyes and forehead. Not sure about the other symptoms but i couldn't do anything when it got really bad, just had to shut my eyes all the time because the pressure was dreadful.

I started taking sudofed which helps but as soon as i stop it comes back so have to go to the doctors when i can manage it to be able to get tablets to make it go away x

Sorry you're feeling bad though, anxiety is dreadful xx sad

Can your meds make your tummy feel really sick and even get sick??

It does really suck to be honest I wish I had some one near by just to meet up and talk about everything you know? Yeah gave 4 weeks notice will try to work two weeks of it. 

Are the tablets for your anxiety? I am not taking any yet but i know until your body gets used to it you can feel sick and sometimes be sick aswell.

Wish you the best Rach, dont let this beat you xx
