Hi everyone I suffer from GAD and depersonalisation for years now...I'm 36 and I've had a really bad anxiety feeling day, yesterday was a good day, I am so sick of these sensationsites and the way I am constantly stick in my thoughts! I feel like I need putting down lol this is no way to live, I live in fear everyday! I'm reading self help books at the moment and I'm told to accept these feelings and get on with things...I am mentally exhausted today after feeling anxiety and panic attacks all day till about 6 pm. ...I will get through this, I will, for my beautiful brilliant and clever 6 year old son...I'm fed up of fighting every bloody day, I don't feel depressed, I do suffer with depression, I just feel frustrated and exhausted because of my stupid body sensations! I've got nowt to be scared off, sorry I'm just having a good rant and getting things of my chest....I just want to feel normal again and not feel like im in a dream (I've had depersonalisation for 12 years and it won't bugger off!) Anyways, Take care everyone my rant is over lol 😊
I know how you feel.... it's hard just to change your thought process. What kind of pains are you having? I tend to get all over body pain. Hard to not think the worse, but I have had a slew of tests so just try to accept it's anxiety. Hang in there!

Are you having any treatment for your condition also has your GP arranged any treatment pathways to help. Talk to your GP and see how He may be able to help !!!
Have you tried MINDFULNESS Relaxation Technique, that may help you relax.

Rants always welcome.
Great rant. Sound like me. Have good days then I feel so tense , shaky , heart racing, and sh...y racing mind that won't stop worrying about irrational rubbish. No wonder we need a good rant now and then. Been like this for years and always passes, just frustrating, glad we can all share our rants , I like many didn't tell anyone for years I felt like this as we didn't have forums like this and to be honest I felt I was just mad or strange. So glad people can talk here and not feel alone. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you and all out there😊❤️
I endorse everything you have written. I have just out a tens machine on my back and it is relieving the anxiety to a tolerable level. Don't know why but it is!!
Hi . Been away. Just read your reply, wow, my mum has terrible rumatics ( sorry if spelled wrong) she swears by a tens machine she bought only a few weeks ago, wondered if they would help with muscle tension, I put cooling pads on forehead as i find i always have tight forehead( migraine feeling), had never heard of a tens machine before you and mum mentioned. Hate muscle tension ,just get so uptight when anxious about heart racing and racing thoughts. Hope it continues to help you , any relief helps, 😊❤️
