I’m feeling a little better.

so I’m finally going to the doctor’s next Wednesday. Hopefully, it will ease my anxiety about the aches in my body. I believe the aches in my chest and stomach are due to indigestion or something unrelated to my heart (which is what I fear the most)

I only had 1 anxiety attack last week. It was the first time in weeks. I felt my chest and face get hot, and next thing I knew, my heart was beating so fast and I was sitting outside while my grandpa came home just in time to calm me down.

Also, I starting my passion: writing and illustrating graphic novels. I’ve been in a depression lately since graduation. It’s nice to finally get back in my passion and what made me happy. I really hope I can get better soon.

Youre young so it probably isnt your heart. Stomach issues are always big triggers for my anxiety, its a pain i know. You have to trust yourself that youre ok. Be really careful about what you eat so food isnt as much of an issue

I think anxiety can make tummy issues appear or worsen, so getting a handle on that I'm sure will help. I'm so glad that you only had 1 panic attack, that sounds like progress. Are you doing any breathing techniques or meditation to help combat the anxiety? Congrats on getting back to your passion!! That sounds super-cool and should give you a sense of pride and accomplishment. You rock!

yeah I take emergency meds for my panic attacks. I don’t think it’s anxiety that makes my body aches for these past few months. I think it’s something physical. But thank you very much. I really appreciate it

I do agree with other comments saying there is a connection between anxiety and stomach issues. I don't know the science behind it but I have experienced it before. I'm glad your grandpa was home in time to support you. I'm also glad to hear you're enjoying your passions..that's something to keep your head up.

I also had my panic attack yesterday,, since then my body feels like out of place and whacky.. I got panic first time in a year.. What can I do to get my mind off of this non sense

[Kickstartart21 in reply to Ishfaq-bashir]

well I take emergency meds that calm me down. Mostly I just need to talk to someone to distract. I call my mom, my grandma, or one of my friends to get my mind off of it.
