I honestly need someone to talk to to tell my what I'm going through is fine as I can't deal with anything anymore I am literally feeling so defeated!!! Help me tell me all your symptoms so I feel normal
I've experienced hot and cold flashes, dizziness, nausea, chest pains, leg pain, shaking, facial and body tremors, vision problems, swallowing issues, breathing problem, headaches, muscle aches, and just feeling not right. It's was unbearable from February through June but now it's much better. Are you taking any medication?
Yes, ONE thing to remember is any symptoms related to anxiety cannot hurt you! They feel weird and scary but that is all they can do .
when I was in my twenties I had a zillion symptoms all of a sudden.and thought I had a terrible disease. I had tingling in arms and legs, floaters in eyes, muscle weakness and twitching, shortness of breath, ear ringing, blur vision, etc. anxiety can do all of this!
i was terrified and had NO internet support back then. My parents didn't know what to do. The doctor ran tests and all normal. I thought " how could they be normal "???
"Nobody understands!! "
What happened was that after many years of bottled up stress and anxiety, my body was telling me it couldn't take anymore. My nervous system was going crazy.
I literally felt like I was the only one in the world this way. Nobody could really help. I went on like this on and off for years and years.
I finally gotcounseling for stress I learned about something called mindfulness. It teaches you how to manage Anxiety and regain your peace of mind .
I read the book called mindfulness. It is only cover with a ball of string on the front cover.
I also started listening to YouTube meditations for anxiety, stress, depression, sleep. Many of these teach you how to separate negative thinking from yourself. I listen to a couple times a day in my symptoms either go away or greatly diminish!
there are so many to choose from and I think they can really help you! I like to use your times in laydown to listen. Just search for guided meditation for anxiety.
Also, listen to the guided meditations for breathing...It is very important to know how to breathe properly during anxiety. .
You see, anxiety begins in the brain and the key is to calm down the brain which will calm down the body . Don't ever react with anxiety when you get symptoms because that will make everything worse. When you get a symptom calmly acknowledge the symptoms and then just go about your day. The symptoms cannot hurt you.
I also started exercising eating healthy, staying active.
Another thing is be kind to yourself. This is not your fault.
remember to laugh and smile.
YOU are definitely not alone. You are going to be just fine. You have to work at this and if you can listen to the meditations possibly get the book, it would be a excellent start for you!
also if you can speak with a counselor It would be so beneficial. It truly helps to speak to somebody in person can help you manage the anxiety.
I want to tell you that I am now in my 50s and I am still here! I am living proof that the sometimes cannot hurt you and you can also get them under control. If I can do it so can you !!
Don't feel bad if one day you feel great in the next you feel terrible. This is all part of the healing process. You don't have to let anxiety and fear control you. You have a whole life ahead of you.
try not to take life too seriously because let me tell you, I've been through it all, and nothing, absolutely nothing is worth ruining your health over.
Feel better soon 🌸🌸🌸
I meant to say that book has a white cover with a ball of string on the cover.
The other thing was I meant to say I use earbuds and lay down to listen to the meditations. Lol talk texting is funny sometimes.

Hey Mariano
Me too I'm afraid to leave my house haven't done for 7years. Dont let it get that bad. Get therapy it will help you. It takes time it doesn't work right away. But you will start feeling better. Give it a year. "Life is short." Don't stay in your house and try to go out. You will live with regret. I hope you get better.🙌
I had nausea, blurry vision, headache. Tinnitus, backpain, stiff neck and shoulder, thirst, cold flashes, insomnia, fast heart beat. I have been taking stablon and rivotril for 4 months and recently quetiapine for 1 week. I m also taking vitamin B and omega 3 twice daily.
I feel better in the daytime without much anxiety now . But I still have many nightmares during sleep.
I really hope I can be normal again very soon.
I hope so too, Ashley. thank you for taking the time to reply..I am trually grateful..I have this for nearly 30 years..got talk therapy. hypnosis.and rieky ,all to no avail.. I have lost my motivation at this stage..Havant got the will or energy to fight this anymore ..Do you try to go out yourself ??
Hi
You mentioned nightmares amongst other things. I wondered if you have a sleepdisorder or if a sleep sudy test had beeen mntioned to you by your dr. It may be worthwhile looking into this.
Regards
No problem Mariano I had to reply I struggle with the same issue. I stay indoors all the time. I can't go outside or even less to public places.
I wish I could I feel I'm wasting my life away. I feel hopeless. I don't even go to the doctor or anywhere.
I've had hypnosis too lots of times it didn't work. At first I thought it was working but I guess it was my mind. Nothing works. I have given up too.
Its so hard..If I have to do something. like going to a family funeral or wedding,I go, and usualy get through it o.k. but I do take a couple of drinks, before hand..and it does help..we seem to have the same problems so please keep in touch..are you taking any meds..I take xanax as needed, but nothing else...xx
I was taking Xanax but since I haven't gone to the doctor they can't prescribe it again. I didn't attend my two grandma's funerals. I wasn't there for my dad or my mom. I don't drink beer or do drugs. But I have been on the brink to drink beer when I'm depressed.
They gave me mirtazapine. Now i have terrible invasive thoughts, fear inside my bodynaami wake,dreadful dreams of horrible things. I feel its going tomdrive me mad. I also have depression which just doesnt respond to the usual meds. Its as if i need to slow my brain down at night but thats when it goes into these mad thoughts. I also take diazepam to calm my nerves in day. Does anyone know if i need to come off these to get rid of the awful things in my brain. What are you taking?
