New Symptoms

[anonleo]

Why does it feel like every time I recognize anxiety for anxiety a new symptom comes along and then I sit and freak out and worry if it’s anxiety and then the cycle just continues once I get over it and it passes

You got a tattoo on your back? Myself I have learned not to try to label it, gotta deal if it’s anxiety, depression, exhaustion, laziness, whatever. I simplify my life, make things easier. That’s my style now. I’m free to do it the way I choose. I can change my mind, I can listen to advice, bing, bam, boom! My choice. Hope I helped, even a little

Yes sir I agree, everyone's process is different. Labels are not important just deal with what comes as it comes.

One day, one hour, one minute at a time anonleo As the french saying goes, as long as we're alive, there's hope!

Hi anonleo, "New Symptoms?" this is how Anxiety keeps you in it's grip. It doesn't likewhen you win over anxiety. You see, it plays a game with our minds. So when you win over

one, it sends you another symptom to worry about. That's how it keeps you in this cycle

of fear.

The key to winning is accepting these symptoms as anxiety from the beginning and not allowing the fear to grow within you. Once you start accepting and knowing how anxiety plays it's game, it will start losing interest in you and move on to someone else.

After all a game is meant to win. Don't allow anxiety to rack up all the points. xx

I second Agora's advice and also recommend you make sure you don't have any physiological conditions that can cause or contribute to anxiety. Make sure you thyroid, hormones and adrenals are functioning properly and also mitral valve prolapse can cause anxiety, also diet including caffeine can contribute to anxiety.

If you really think something physical is causing your symptoms maybe try seeing if doctors could run tests for you and such granted anxiety can cause a lot of weird things but you know you’re body and if something feels off get it checked out and don’t always settle for it’s just anxiety
