Hi Louise

Welcome

What you are describing sounds like typical symptoms of anxiety

You feel you are in this world , yet all alone in how you are feeling , well I no that's how anxiety has made me feel , as if I am on the outside looking in & it can feel very frightening

You are not on your own though ,you will read on here people that feel just the same , which even though we don't wish any one to suffer , this can be a comfort

Have you been to see your GP ? I no we sometimes feel afraid to tell them how we feel , but believe me , there are so many suffering , this is nothing new to them & you can always write down how you feel like you have here& take it with you , if you struggle to explain yourself

Try if you can to accept this is anxiety , yes it makes us feel as you do but if we can learn to accept it , rather than fight it , it takes some of the fear away , this does take time & practice though

Keep talking on here as well

love

hi thanks for replying, aww its so scary i seen my gp last week and i found it really hard to explain to him but he told me it will pass by i was hoping for medication but he said i will get over it. i get my good days and bad days. i also been experiencing numbness in my body and my heart beats so fast people tell me its a panick attack. i just want to feel normal again its so terrifying feeling like this all the time but i guess if i accept it then it will get easier. thank you for your comment really appreciate the advice xx

O hun , your GP doesn't sound that good if they just said it will pass

Yes it is about learning acceptance at times , but we do need help & shouldn't be brushed to one side

I would see how you go & if in another couple of weeks , you feel no better , go back , or see another GP in the surgery , take what you need to say , written down , they should listen & as well as meds , counselling is very good , we need to speak up sometimes & I no its hard , but with support on here , if you need it , people will help

I also have had & still do get the numbness & its frightening along with the heart

Once I was told the nerves in the body , to imagine spaghetti , getting all tangled up & squeezing together & that's what the nerves are like in our bodies & when we get anxious that's what they do , giving us these sensations (don't no if that made any sense )

Don't forget , if you don't feel you can cope , please see GP again or another one

that made sense thank you,and i been feeling like this for 2 weeks i just find it hard to visit family i only feel safe in my own home. its so horrible because i want to do be able to go out and about but thats when i panick about fainting thats what im so anxious about because its my phobia :/ .. and im 7 weeks pregnant on my 2nd child so i really want to get better for them. thanks for your support nice to talk to people about it and im also anemic xxx

Ok , I didn't realise of course you were pregnant & congratulations

I have 3 all grown up , well looking at the 19 year old in the garden clowning about maybe not

Now some women find when pregnant their anxiety is less , others it gets more & GP can sometimes put it down to hormones & they may play a part , but its not the whole picture

Have you got a midwife yet or health visitor ?

They can be a bigger help than GP'S sometimes & don't think they will think you are not a good mum because you feel this way , because they wont , but if they do their job right , they will support you

This maybe why meds then wouldn't be suitable for you , but still counselling is

You taking iron ? I had this problem as well & iron tablets from the GP , soon brought the levels back up & when you are anemic ,you feel run down & then when we are tired the anxiety can be harder to deal with

Please , if you don't have a midwife already , when you do , let them no how you are feeling , they have the power to get you help as well as your GP

I also only feel safe at home by the way , which I am working on , but just thought I would let you no that's quite common with anxiety

Sorry to disagree with your GP but what he/she has told you is wrong! You have classic symptoms of anxiety and it does not just "pass by"

I fully agree with what whywhy has said.Perhaps better to change your doctor1

[louisemarie123]

he told me to just snap out of it and think of my kids which i was really hurt by i wish i could just snap out of it but i cant its such a horrible feeling just want to feel normal again sometimes i think that there is something bad wrong with me but i had a blood test done and it just came back as low iron but i keep thinking they got something wrong and theres something seriously wrong with me but my family say its all in my head xx

[louisemarie123]

i havent got a midwife yet im going to go to my doctors tomorrow to arrange an appointment with her i do have a health visitor for my son as hes only 2 i want to get myself sorted for his sake his dad is really helping though i try to keep strong for them but im finding it really hard lately. yes im on iron tabs but running low so will get more everyday i am experiencing dizziness and always lightheaded and tired i just want energy haha.. and thank you hun i wan more kids in future too so hopefully will be sorted by then, and i think everyone has their childish moments haha xxx

[Hidden in reply to louisemarie123]

Have a word with your health visitor , they are there for problems , let her no how you are feeling , hopefully she will be better than your doctor sounds & will get something in motion to help you through this

I am really relieved though that you have a supportive husband
