Today I’ve been feeling empty inside and have a tight chest. To make my self feel better I’ve gone for walks, it helps but I’m back to feeling the same after a while. I’ve tried distracting myself with work but I couldn’t concentrate because I was worried and couldn’t stop my thoughts. I try to make myself feel better by placing my hand over my chest and it helps but it hurts inside otherwise.
Anyone else have a similar issue, would appreciate a reply 😔
P.s. happy new year
Hugs! Hope you are feeling better...I’m feeling off today, too.
Happy New Year
It helps me to write all my thoughts down. I also have issues with my chest but its inflammation. So I take ibuprofen. I sleep hugging my very big blanket as well. Very comforting. 😊
Hi i have asked myself whats going on and how come I'm feeling this way where is it coming from and i go deeper. A stroke brain damage muscle weakness other things . Then i ask myself what or who helps me stay grounded ? My daughter and son. An image of a window open overlooking a beautiful courtyard. A view of flowers on a mountain. Music. Breathing. Standing outside briefly. I listened to a video and what stuck in my mind is"make the unconscious conscious. I tell myself to have an open mind and slowly slowly become aware. Therapy helped me. I wish you well on your journey
Hi Alia. It’s different for everyone but my emotional pain and fears seem to live in my chest just like yours. When I feel that tightness I know it’s trying to tell me something I need to know. It’s not about the symptom, though that’s what gets most of our attention. It’s always about what’s underneath.....what the symptom is trying to distract us from....
Insecurity and overthinking 
Just talk to me tell me I’m ok. 
Trying to explain feelings...
Hard time connecting/relating to people.
Tell me about your experiences
