I have so much anxiety right now and fearing thoughts

[MrJimSkyline]

I constantly have fearful thoughts of something being wrong with me health-wise my mind has been thinking i have ms and then my mind go's crazy and the crazy part about this is i believe it! I also have burning feeling on my arm and back non painful! Is this the anxiety messing with me?

Hi Jim... most likely this is definitely anxiety. I have suffered from anxiety disorders for 20 years. I can believe a pain is pancreatitis or that a headache is an aneurysm plus 1,000 other ailments. I have learned that discovering how to control my racing thoughts is one of the most important components for beginning to deal with anxiety. Sending you support. Stay strong!

Hi Jim,

I have learned that my anxiety ebbs and flows throughout the months and years. I was doing fine most of last year and then all of a sudden in November my antic attacks came back out of the blue. For me, I have learned that when I don’t get enough sleep my anxiety is much worse and I am more likely to have a antic attack. I also have started some herbal treatments and diet changes which are helping a bit. I would encourage you to keep talking and sharing. Just knowing we aren’t alone and that what we are feeling is shared by others can help anxiety go down.
