sometimes i am existing between the fear of living and the fear of death. Too many symptoms and too many issues all wrapped in one. I have learned drs do not have cures for a lot of stuff. They can label it and say what it is but cant always cure stuff. This past year for me has been rough. Had eye issues then Ear issues, auto immune issues diagnosed and of course the old reliable anxiety issues. Too much for one year for me. I do think the constant state of worrying, anxiety and the whole cycle of it eventually does weaken your immune sytem. I cant even use the meds. Grrr. They conflict with what i have otherwise. And i tell you..i can meditate to kingdom com i still have the diagnosed stuff and ear noises and vibrations and weird ear stuff and eye issues. So just sucks. Im venting. Im sure i cant be the only one in this boat, suffering sucks, anxiety sucks and i just want to feel good and id love for my body to just recover itself in every area. Sorry for the complaining it is just..Im so tired already.
I understand and feel your pain. I am exhausted. I am so scared of death, yet I want this constant worry and physical pain in my body to end and feel like giving up. It's a horrible thought process and for me it is constant at the moment.
I have major health anxiety and I feel that I have suffered every physical symptom under the sun. I am going to call the doc this morning because I have convinced myself that I have some sort of cervcal or uterine cancer with my symptoms.
It's a vicious circle. I hate it. It must her better. Can't possibly be like this my whole life. I won't allow it but it's so hard to get out of this rut.
You're not alone. I hope you've got a good support system around you and people are always on here to talk. Take care.
yes it does suck. i'll have a symptom at any given moment and i just shake my head out of disgust. it's so damn frustrating. only in retrospect do you realize the signs and symptoms progressing ever so slowly were there all along...from the beginning. now i'm caught in this loop. i currently suffer for GAD & OCD with the latter typically occuring with anxiety disorder. i've had every anxiety symptom just about...and i mean every to the point of being convinced and still being convinced suffering from a neurological disorder...down to the worst. i've noticed as time goes by i just don't care anymore, which might be blessing in disguise instead of panic throughout the day. anyway, i can empathize wih you. good luck. oh also, despite the nightmare of it all...i still have things i enjoy in life so don't give up. good luck!
My stuff is diagnosed. I co exist with anxiety. Double smack. I dont know how people exist in a decent way at times.

I suffer from health anxiety it's just awful
Hi glad you got so many replies, I mean I hate to see so many people suffering with this horrible illness,but for me not thinking I was alone was awful, thought I was mad , that nobody was like me or as bad. Anxiety really does drive you crazy, I should have got help sooner but tried to hide it as I thought people would say pull yourself together. Nobody can understand unless you've suffered anxiety. The awful head racing, negative thoughts, heart racing, panic, and the muscle tension and tightness all over as I never relax. I have been there we're you just think you can't take anymore,, you have s good patch them the bad sets you back. After so many years I can still get down but know my doctor is helping, my family are helping, I have to push myself through the bad anxiety , it's such an awful feeling but I always get through , I know it won't kill me but can't describe to people how crappy it feels . So glad people are talking on here,reasurance helps so much, we're always here to support each other. ❤️
I am totally with you Heather. I have had those exact same symptoms. Back when I suffered my first panic attacks about 8 years ago. You literally feel like you are having a heart attack and because you realise you're not, you think, it must be something! I am honestly convinced I have something wrong with my cervical or ovary area! It could be my kidney stones playing up, causing the pains but I had vaginal bleeding randomly yesterday so of course, all my other symptoms are to do with that. I hate self diagnosing and worrying all the time.
I know what you mean, that feeling of existing but not living. That hits the nail on the head. Exactly!
Yeah it's such a horrible thing to suffer from... today I've been up and down it's like I'll keep buzy so a don't think to much but then I'll catch myself and over think and bring it back on it's like why does my Brain want to keep torturing me..well a suffer from inflammation from stomach lining but I had few months of relief am thinking it's that coming back as it radiates To my back and sometimes chest If the acid isn't under control.. a hope you feel
Better tho are they not able to help with the kidney stones
