I'm a 14 year old girl and lately I've been feeling really weak, like to the point where if I stand I feel like I will fall. I feel tired as well, even after having a good rest. I know that the weakness I'm feeling is most likely a symptom of Anxiety (since I don't, to my knowledge, have any diseases or health problems that could cause this.) Also, I feel a tingly numbness in my hands, face, nose, and feet very often. I even feel very lightheaded and unable to think properly. Is there anything I can do to stop this or reduce the tension so I do not feel this way as often..
Hi Lemon
There are alot of self help things available on the internet. However if your symptoms are severe .... would it help to talk to a proffesional about your symptoms...
I use progressive muscle training which is very simple to do and only takes 10 mins morning and night.. You can finf guided ones on youtube.
These help calm your body and mind as they include breathing exercises... I use these because anxiety waas causing fatigue in my arms and legs and i was weary and it really helped.
You could try reading some books/apps on anxiety symptoms as they are all helpful.
But none replace medical advice which could put your mind at eäe also.
Good luck and i hope you feel betté soon xx
Your symptoms may be due to anxiety but the first thing to do is talk to your parents about visiting your family doctor for a check up. Then if everything is OK and it probably is, you need to work on managing the anxiety. I found talking to a counselor to be very very helpful. They see this on a daily basis and know exactly how to help you.
I have had your symptoms on and off for many years all due to anxiety but first I went and had a check up at my doctors and all my tests were normal.
try not to worry too much just get that check up so that you can feel relieved.
Tell you parents. You are 14. Let you parents take you to the doctor and the doctor can examine you and deciedenwhat is best. If you know you get nervous a lot see ifnyour parents can get you a therapist. I dont think its best to handle this alone.
