Hi i seem to struggle with my anxiety. I just cant seem to believe that it is anxiety I feel like i have something the doctors are missing i constantly struggle with physical symptoms which causes me to panic. What if i have something really wrong with me and the anxiety is only secondary to that. I am so afraid of dying i have a 2 and a 5 year old and just want to be with them forever i am so scared it always in mind can anyone relate to this. Please help me if you can.
Hi Shell, The physical symptoms of anxiety are real and very scary! The more our mind knows which ones effect us the most the more we will feel those ones. There are sooo many symptoms of anxiety(physical ones) I have found it helpful to learn what they are and why they are caused. I do not know what ones you suffer from but the most coomon are shortness of breath or smothering, heart palpitations,chest pain,trembling,feeling of choking,sweating,dizziness, faintness,nasuea,abdominal distress,numbness,tingling,hot flashes and so many more. These are normal and not harmful! That is the most important thing to know. However I know your fear of something must be wrong other then anxiety and I would suggest having a full physical, blood work the whole 9. This may help to put your mind at ease that this is anxiety and help you to move forward with coping and learning how to deal with your anxiety. If you ever need someone to talk or have any questions please feel free to look me up:)
I wish you free of this demon!
Hugs to you,
Kim
