Bad day today

Today I have been on the edge of panic all day...had an okay weekend thought I was starting to be able to just accept the aches and pains but today has been so bad, constant chest pain and feeling like I can't really breathe. It's a lonely old road feeling like this with no one to speak to for comfort

You can always find someone on here to send you a supportive message. I too find it a very lonely road as until you have felt like this you cant understand how awful it is. Sometimes the road is smoother and I have come to find that I make the most of those days. Accept that today is bad and that tomorrow could be better. Thinking of you and sending some positive thoughts your way...........

That's a nice comment, I appreciate it. I try to talk to my mum and she does try and calm me down but she doesn't really get it and thinks I'm bringing it on myself. Comfort is really important to me and just makes me worse when I haven't got anyone to speak with. X

Hi Ashley,is there a specific reason that's causing the panic? I'm usually worse on Sundays because its a new week coming up,the wife and I are doing a big shop tomorrow and I've told her she'll have tp pay at the checkout so I can retreat if need be.I know how lonely that road is,but you're not alone,please know that.

Take good care, Andy

Hi Andy.

Yeah I had some drama happen last night too me. I won't go into specifics but it involves something I should have been devastated over but for some reason have been unable to show any emotion, I do wonder if that's to do with it x

Hi

I think I once read you did a very high jump for charity ? well I am no doctor but I can tell you now if there was anything wrong with your heart , you wouldn't have survived that jump and be blogging on here now

I no what health anxiety is like , suffer with it myself even though I now deal with it better than I used to

Seems you might have had things to distract you the last couple of days , which when we have we are not focusing in on what our body is feeling , as soon as things go quite , we start to notice everything again

Tell yourself , because this makes sense , the times you have had these pains & nothing has happened , had this been anything serious , again I am not a doctor , but I am almost sure something would have a long time ago

Anxiety you tense , then the muscles tense & then you get these pains

When they come , try & accept them as anxiety , say here we go again , I no what you are , nothing that is going to kill me , your anxiety , keep saying it , & slowly the fear will get less

I think you have CBT which is great & will help you , there is this site & if you have friends , I no you like to support your friends , let any you have made support you as well & ask for it

Bet you are still blogging next week & the week after & so on

Try & keep yourself occupied , this will & does get better , takes some practise , but you will get there

Love

Hi whywhy

Yes I done a Zipwire over the River Clyde for Charity, I was terrified but I loved it !!

I do tell myself that these symptoms are all anxiety related but as I'm sure you know it's so hard. I've tried to keep myself busy, going to the cinema..going out walks...meetin up with friends. I just need to learn to relax when I'm myself.

I do no its hard & that's why I feel for people suffering with this

I also look back & feel so sad all the years I wasted & would love others as I care , not to have the same regrets as I have & am willing them on

I am sure you will learn to relax , it takes time , but you will get there

Well done with the Zipwire , you wouldn't have even got me up there
