Hi, how is everyone today.. just reaching out if anyone needs a chat .

I’m separated, currently early stages of divorce.. suffered with anxiety for years which manifests in the end as health anxiety. After stressful periods .. at the moment I’m feeling strong with occasional meltdowns . I’ve overcome several bouts of awful anxiety so no that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Symptoms, not much I haven’t experienced so if anyone would like to chat .. I’d like to . Take care all .

Hello 1973m. I’m so sorry to hear about your anxiety and divorce. That’s so difficult. Hearing that you’ve been strong gives me encouragement. I feel like my life is ending because of anxiety. I just don’t know what to do.

Hi , well I’ve been there so I know exactly how you’re feeling! Right down at the bottom and you wonder if you’ll ever claw your way back!

Well truth is you can and you will . It’s so difficult to even imagine but honestly you will get there . Anything specific that troubles you ?

I sure hope so! My main concerns are the chest pain that I constantly feel but today I haven’t felt it which is good. But, I began having this awful pain right near my navel and it’s travelled so my mom took me to urgent care and they sent a request for a CT to be done later this week but the pain got so bad they decided to have me go to the ER. I’m terrified that something is seriously wrong with me.

Hey , you wouldn’t be human if you didn’t worry , we all do . Honestly I’m sure there is nothing wrong but it’s good you’re getting it all checked that will put your mind at ease . Believe it too when they say it’s anxiety related , honestly anxiety can manifest in so many different forms and can be real physical symptoms. Keep positive.

Hello 1973m, I understand how you feel. I am 63 and have suffered from anxiety and depression since childhood. My symptoms are very severe right now, as I am undergoing financial difficulties. It gets so bad that I feel paralyzed....like I'm going to die. Thank you for your encouragement. :)

Do you live in or near Gainesville, FL? Maybe we can form a support group.

Hi I’m in the uk .

That feeling of paralysis, like you’re going to die is just awful. I hated it but I turned it on it’s head and thought hang on ., the worst things it could do was let me die !!

And actually death didn’t faze me it was the unknown the pain the what’s this symptom that scared me .. once I’d come to terms with that, other things began to get easier.. best of luck.

Where in the UK? Perhaps there is a celebrate recovery close by. It's for anyone with a HURT..A HABIT..OR HANGUP. anxiety...depression...co dependency, people pleasing...etc..its free and its support. Itd all over the world and it's been established around 30 years and ppl are getting healthy together.
