Over the past few weeks I have not been feeling myself. Things I used to enjoy seem like a chore and some days the thought of leaving the house, or my bed, is just something I don't want to think about! I feel so down and lonely. The physical symptoms of my anxiety seem to be getting worse. My chest hurts, it feels tight and sore. At times it has been so bad that I have had to call in sick from work.
Tha way I feel is starting to take its toll on my relationship. My partner is so supportive and will do anything to make me happy but it's frustrating for both of us as I don't know what the root cause of this is!
Can anyone provide any advice as to how I can figure out why I feel like this? Maybe then I can look to improve things.
Thanks x
You need medical advice, Nicole. Your doctor can help with medications and maybe therapy. i found them both useful. Your first port of call should be your GP: take your partner with you if you like. He will be more likely to remember everything the doctor says. Good luck, Nicole.
Yes I think you're right. I hoped I would be able to find the answers myself but perhaps I need to see my GP.
Thank you.
Hi. I'm sorry to hear your feeling this way. It sounds to me like you are suffering from depression with Anxiety too.
I am taking citalopram and have been for years. 6 weeks ago I upped my dose to 40mg from 30mg. I have good days and bad days, but the anxiety is still there.
The doctor prescribed me beater blockers which has taken the edge off the anxiety, but I still don't like going out etc...
I would get yourself to the doctors. Try excerise too. I know it's hard, I have to force myself to get out and it does make me feel a little bit better.
Nicole im dealing with the samething but u know what god got are back all you can do is put it in his hands and he take care of it i know u hate the way u feeling so do i but we will get through it i be feeling the same way but god not got to let us down believe in him
I know the feeling all to well only its been a week. I feel like my life is controlled by feeling anxious. My friend gave me Xanax until I can get to my dr appt on Thursday seems so far away. My heart pounds, I feel jittery, and if I don't hold my left arm a certain way it feels like I'm not getting good circulation to it so it brings on an attack. (Crazy I kn.) I just want to be normal again. My faith in God has helped a lot. I know He can bring me through. I pray continuously through the day that God will give my positive thoughts and will restore my body.
