Panic attacks are back. I thought I had beat them. Guess not. But I brought it on myself. I don't have diabetes but I keep thinking I do. I pee alot. I am always hungry. I've been checked. They can't find anything wrong with me. But why am I like this? So I keep thinking I do have it. Then I start reading the symptoms. I start feeling dread. I start reading on the Internet about how bad it can get. And how dangerous it is. Then I start panicking. I start thinking I have it. I start wanting to faint. I should've stayed away from Dr google. But who else do we turn to when no one else has answers. I want this to stop. To go away. But idk if it will. I'm tired of going to the er. Tired of being drugged. Tired just tired. I'm 22. This shouldnt be happening to none of us. Why am I so weak minded. Why. Why. Why.
You are not weak minded, but anxiety will make you believe so. Don't give in to your thoughts. I believe you already got your answer from your doctor! Google is the worst to read when you have terrible anxiety- stay away from reading up on symptoms, etc. our mind tries to trick us into thinking we are in danger, but these are merely thoughts. Try to relax and distract yourself.
Mate. There is nothing wrong with you. It's so hard to be logical about all of our thoughts and fears but we have to try. Health anxiety sucks, I just found out my cholesterol is high so of coarse im going to develop heart problems. Trick is to come to grips with the fact something will kill us one day so we have to start living instead of just waiting to die.
Thank you tiffany. It sucks. Anxiety can make you belive all these things. It sucks. Fear paralyzes you. Thanks for the advice and thoughts.
Thanks Caleb. I also got told my cholesterol was high. For like about a month I thought I was gonna drop dead. I starting eating "healthier" but I started eating actuallyour really bad. Not getting enough nutrients. But I'm fine now. Thank you for your thoughts.
Trust me, I'm right there with you, along with many other people. Just try to remind yourself that YOU are in control of your mind.
This disorder it waxes and wanes. You already have experienced that it goes away, so you know it will again. Thats what it does. But keep it in context.
You are not weak none of us even know what really causes it to be blaming ourselves. do not blame yourself.
Be proud of yourself. Weak is the OPPOSITE iof what anyone is with this disorder. It takes every ounce of strength to deal with this mess. So please understand setback happen.. They just do. And also believe it too soon shall pass.Get back that mindset, try and remember it and feel it. Fear only has the amount of power you feed into it. You can have or get the negative thoughts but how you choose to "react" to it will determine the length of time it will stay around. Believe in yourself. Believe it will pass again. It does..it always does.
Hi you sound like me. I have high blood pressure that goes with my anxiety. I keep on thinking my kidneys are failing. I have had the tests all of which are good. But I started looking up all the symptoms and I get them as I read them!
This anxiety is truly are nightmare. I try and laugh about it now.
Funny since I think I have HBP but it's always normal at home. I got my machine checked at the hospital and it's accurate so that gives me a peace of mind. It's just high at the doctors. It is funny at times. When my attack passes and I start thinking of why and why I'm thinking this is start saying how crazy I am. I'm only bringing pain to myself. Ole anxiety is no joke but at the same time it is. Thanks for the words of encouragement
Thanks Lisa, you always know what to say. I used to hate taking meds for anxiety or for anything for that matter. But if meds are gonna keep me under control I'd rather do that then always be in pain.
I am sorry to read if your distress. I have anxiety and when the thoughts start it is hard to stop them. Even when you can tell your self they arnt helpful and are causing more anxiety it is hard to stop. I would trust your doc and I hope everything works out.
