I had my first heart palpitation when I was 24 and I was so afraid of having more (I did) that's when the anxiety and panic attacks started. After ten years of this I was so desperate I decided I wanted my life back. I started doing things, and if the anxiety killed me so be it , because I wasn't living just existing. It was a battle, it takes a lot of courage to go shopping while having a panic attack, or church, or carry on a conversation. It's hard but it can be done.So I've been free mostly these past 40 odd years. But if I want to I can bring one on, which proves you can control it. Pam

What cbt techniques do you use?

Edatis profile image
Edatis in reply to laurakingsurrey

Hi ! I practice behavior techniques to face everyday real life situations where we are bothered by anxiety. Acceptance , slow talk, slow walk , slow down,

Stop negative thinking. Self statements rationales that become automatic thoughts such as "today is going to be a good day " or any positive thought that can be a part of your every day. Continuing to move forward.. determination! Focusing. What are you paying attention to? This is my method of cognitive therapy. It works for me and I pray it helps you. ❤️

Age 47 female...high blood pressure, thyroid issues fluctuating from hypo to hyper and now back to hypo, heart palpitations, strange sensation in heart, waking up every 2/3 hours with a nightmare/heart pounding feeling, Having health anxiety as I've gone to different doctors/cardiologists and they all diagnosed me with being in perimenopause with hormonal imbalance but no one can give me a cure for my symptoms. :(

I had the exact same night problems in my 20's. My job and school we're so stress full. I went to many doctors but my health is fine. I'm 48 now and I have a normal life because I meditate, yoga, deep breath, walk, talk to everyone and just get out there. I tell everyone about my past depression and it helps others to feel they're not alone. One step at a time really helps and I take zoloft 200mg and welbutrin. Good luck, you can do it. Deb

Thanks Deb! The heart papitations and strange sensations in my heart really scares me. But the doctors keep telling me my heart is functioning good. I think my fluctuating thyroid hormones have a lot to do with it. Hope I can get rid of these sensations soon. Thanks for your encouragement! Take care!

My anxiety is partly related to health concerns but not entirely. I can be fine and then gradually begin to feel uneasy before the adrenalin starts pumping through my stomach and my heart rate speeds up. I'm in trouble then.Not one thing alone does this.

I've come to the conclusion that there is no help for my anxiety.This is because I don't believe in an afterlfe.I have really tried to take it on board but it doesn't make sense logically for me. As a result, I an wracked with fear of death--and, at my age,it can't be far away. My sourse of pain is the inevitable loss of my sons forever and not being here for the troubles they must face as they too get old.There is no cure for my torment.Antide's mask it but that is a false sense of security. At the moment I am under the influence of Diazepam otherwise I could not write this post. The result is the kind of despair that colours every minute of every day.Religion gets many people through this cruel life but I have researched all religions and come to the conclusion that they are all false and only man made. O, how I wish and need someone to prove their truth to me but that will not happen.

Jeff1943 profile image
Jeff1943 in reply to darkshadow

O.k. darkshadow, this is a bit heavy but you did ask, if you Google Near Death Experiences you will find a site that lists quite literally thousands of recorded experiences of people who died for a short period (on an operating table for example) and they are resusitated. Their experiences are all slightly different but certain things are remarkably the same and can't be explained away by coincidence. Did things really go from a handful of space dust to something with the complexity of the human body by coincidence and chance or is there a driving force behind the evolution? I will say no more.

Emest86 in reply to darkshadow

I don't think belief of afterlife stops the fear of death Hun. I am religious and my biggest fear is death and what will happen to my loved ones when I am no longer here. Let's say there was an afterlife, how would you be able to help your sons if you were in heaven? Or if you were reincarnated? Honestly I think you're clutching at straws and that's ok honestly we've all done it but I think that you might need to look at another avenue other than religion to help you. Even religious people get anxiety depression panic attacks health anxiety. A belief in a higher being isn't a cure Hun. Big hugs xx

You see there is no proof--only the very poor substitutes called faith and wishful thinking.

I have delved eagerly into such topics as Spirtualism, Hinduism, Budhism, other dimensions, universal consciousness etc etc and none of them has the answers. Only acceptance of Reality and the subsequent despair remain.

Jeff1943, I have read much about NDE's. There is no case in which it can be proved that the brain was dead during the time of the NDE. The slightest brain activity can produce the experiences. Also, the experiences reported differ in some respects according to the beliefs of the patient. Christians see Jesus, but others see their own figures of light which correspond to their particular religion. This surely suggests that the source is the brain of the individual rather than a universal experience had by all. If this was a scientific fact, then everyone would experience the same thing in nature. More research has to be done and different outcomes achieved before I could be convinced. Also,only a very small percentage of people who have been near death and return to life have any experience at all.

Jeff1943 profile image
Jeff1943 in reply to darkshadow

Darkshadow, if you have read much about NDEs and believe they're caused by slight brain activity that's fine, so perhaps the way to address your exaggerated fear of death is to appreciate that high anxiety makes us magnify small worries many times until they can obsess our thinking, for some people this might take the form of an exaggerated fear of losing a loved one, in your case it's a fear of death in general. When you recover from anxiety this magnification of normal fears will cease and I'm sure you will then lose this fear that has been obsessing your thoughts and you will view the subject of death in proper perspective once again.

Jeff1943, I was born with a nervous disposition. I see no reason to expect it to change now. I realise you are trying to "cheer me up" but my thoughts are too deep and long standing to be

changed easily with a few words. I am just thankful for the times that my mind is occupied differently and I have a short respite from doom and gloom. It was relatively easy to live in this happy state when I was young(er) but now reality has to be faced. Many relatives and close friends have already passed away and many activities are no longer possible for me---especially dancing--so the world closes in and the monotony persists. Thoughts take over from actions--thus the state of my mind.

Jeff1943 profile image
Jeff1943 in reply to darkshadow

Darkshadow, I follow the teachings of Dr Claire Weekes who wrote 'Self help with your nerves' in which she sets out her belief in acceptance being the basis of a cure for all anxiety disorders and the secondary depression that can come out of anxiety. Like you I have a genetic tendency towards anxiety, my mother, daughter and ancestors all experience(d) it. I first read Weekes' book in the 1970s and it made me well after a period of anxiety disorder. It came back in the late 1990s and I reread her books and practic3d acceptance and it made me well again. She says that acceptance can cure everybody regardless of how long they have been ill and her book has a piece on obsession such as you experience. You may already be aware of her books and teachings, if not maybe take a look. Sorry for trying to "cheer you up"😊

Yesterday and this morning I can't stop bursting into the most awful bouts of sobbing. This usually stops by lunch time but now it is continuous. It's draining all my strength away, I have no appetite and the most painful abdomen with diarroeha.I can't leave the house. I don't know what to do with myself.I'm ridiculously over emotional and can hardly look after my little dog which I love with all my heart.Just writing this has started me crying again.Why am I so different from normal people? Should I go back to the doctor? Do I need to give in and take medication again? I took a 5mg diazepam last night out of desperation.That used to calm me down but all it did was make me feel weak and headlight. The nervousness remained. In my attempts to get myself out of this nightmare, last week I invited two friends to come visit me this Friday. Now I don't know if I can go through with it. I can't sit crying in their company. I seem to be getting worse by the day. Life is not worth living.

33 year old male with health anxiety and psychosomatic symptoms regarding numerous diseases.

I fit into the age 15 - 20 category - I'm surprised there are more older folk than young folk on this site. I wish more young people were on this community - it helps to have someone of the same age to relate to!

Age 20

Depression, Anxiety (GAD, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Social Anxiety), Mood disorder, Anger, PTSD symptoms.

Hi, im 20 and the other day i had a panic attack while i was asleep. i didn't even know that was possible. i woke my mom up saying i can't breathe she told me and i was unaware. I haven't been feeling like myself for maybe 1 year and 1/2 . i feel trapped inside my own mind, like my thoughts are gonna drive me insane or kill me. when i finally woke up and was aware of what i was doing, i was standing in the bathroom with her and she was telling me to calm down. in her eyes i was awake the whole time, blinking and breathing like a normal human being, but in my own eyes, i was asleep and had no idea this was even happening until i snapped out of it and was panicking , i felt like i went crazy, and i felt like the only way to stop me from feeling like this was if i go to the emergency room. i felt like it was never going to end. my sister was on the phone with me telling me I'm okay and try not to panic because my mom is sickly. its like she didn't even understand where i was in my head. it made me even more angry because the way she was talking to me , it felt like she thought i was doing this to myself, and i could just say ok, I'm going to stop now, and everything would be fine. instead it pissed me off in the mist of my crazy moment. i have a phobia over going to the hospitals because i feel like if i tell them how i feel that they're gonna drug me and I'm never gonna feel like myself again. i feel like once they give me medication i won't be the same person, and ill basically be a vegetable and unaware of who i am, and whats even my name. i feel like ill be a zombie, and i won't be able to be normal and live a normal life. or like i won't know who my family is, more importantly my mom is, and like i won't love her anymore. i think I'm under so much stress but i can never tell if I'm actually stressed or if I'm just crazy . I'm so irritable and i wanna spazz out at any given moment if something irritates me. i ended up trying to sleep it off and I've been afraid to sleep most nights, especially when i think too much about it. i have crazy thoughts and i don't even want to think half of the time. i have this little brother and the little shit is the devil, he does whatever he wants and he stresses me out more just the sight of him, he brings my stress levels up and i just want to deck him half of the time, and i feel like i have to fight myself in order not to. I'm like this with anyone who stresses me out. i want help and i want to feel normal and feel like i belong, and like I'm not crazy. the thoughts that i have, i want to stop thinking them, i feel like pulling my hair out in order to change my way of thinking for the moment. and i want to think normal. i focus so much on my thoughts, i feel I'm a person inside my own head, like a small me is sitting in my brain controlling my way of thinking. and when i think too much about how i feel, i feel even more crazier. i didn't always feel this way, and i didn't always think I'm crazy or that I'm going to go crazy. something has to be wrong with me, i can't be normal feeling like this .

22 y.o.

Cornwall UK <3

Worried to an extent about my general health for as long as I can remember, although this never really affected my day-to-day life, which has otherwise been pretty fantastic 99% of the time! Developed full-blown hypochondria/ health anxiety Christmas day (waheeyy...) 2015 after slowly becoming more and more obsessed with my heart during December for no apparent reason (although I'm guessing stress due to nearing the end of college)... Been an absolute HELL of a rollercoaster since then but I'm determined to never let it get me down no matter what!

Had 2 ECGs, multiple blood tests and physical exams, all completely clear. Tried Propranolol during January last year which did nothing. No meds apart from that simply as I'm stubborn af and determined to beat this without them! Had two courses of CBT last year which helped temporarily. Currently awaiting Physio, Chiropractor, Respiratory therapy (to help my messed up breathing patterns), EMDR and more in-depth and longer CBT! 👊🏻👊🏻

Main symptoms are (pretty much 24/7):

Breathlessness,

Lightheadedness,

Random body/ head pains (shooting, sharp, aches etc.),

Constant on-edge feeling (felt in lower chest and stomach as well as mentally),

A plethora of weird heart sensations (palps, thuds, pauses etc.),

Weird sensations throughout body (tingling, tickling, numbness, heaviness etc.),

Muscle tension,

Panic attacks, although luckily they tend to only seem to last about a minute,

Completely uncontrollable fear of all of the above symptoms,

Serious issues with my back (due to bad posture/ lack of activity over the last 20 months),

Trouble walking/ standing (most likely due to the aforementioned back issues + chronic stress)... The list goes on ;L

I've had plenty of other more specific issues as well, a lot of which I have posted about in detail!

Huge huge thank you to everyone on this site, who along with my awesome family and ace group of friends (and beer ;L), have got me through the worst times and made this whole ordeal significantly more bearable! <3
