Have been at work all day and then went out with friends after work...was only going to have a few beers which I can handle and to be honest calms me down and helps me sleep but I've not wanted to go down that route, anyway I've had a really really good night, had way more drink than I should have but in the moment I've had a great time. I'm now home thinking I would come back and fall asleep but instead I'm lying awake listening to the sound of my heart beating all over the place.
Trying to find some positives but I'm struggling.
Hope everyone has had a good night xx

Positive thought number 1. You went out with friends
Positive thought number 2. You enjoyed your evening
Positive thought number 3. You got home safe.
I would say that was positively a good result! I suffer from insomnia, so I do feel your pain and your anxiety. Relaxation is an artform I've never quite mastered, but do please try. I use visualisation to transport me to my 'happy place' - the water lapping on a white, deserted beach. There I can hear the waves gently rolling over the dry sand, and taste the salt of the sea on my lips, and hear the cries of the gulls overhead, and feel the heat of the sun on my skin. That relaxes my body, and helps regulate my breathing.

Thank you for seeing the positives. In my hungover state this morning I'm still trying to find them lol. I'm sure by tomorrow I will start to see them. I like the sound of that beach though. xx

Hi why why
I'm still here...barely.
I guess I'm glad I got out for an evening as I've not been out the last couple of weekends and have got right under my families feet. I was planning on having just one or two but that just never happens when I go with people I work with lol.
Had a really bad palpitation a few days ago at work where I felt my whole body thud and then a wave of heat went right over me and I was shaking...so I think that's what's playing on my mind that could happen again.

Still here barely lol
Ashley my first fear when I started with health anxiety was my heart & then moved on to BT & Heart & then I think like Millbroke has said the slightest thing & think its the worse thing it could possibly be
I do no how you feel hun
I have had the palpitation & what you describe , I still get an odd one , & all these years later I realise anxiety is the cause
I wont say it wont ever happen again , because when we are anxious & worrying we will get these sensations & they are really frightening
I do no the more we worry though , can bring them on
Try telling yourself over & over again though you have had this before & nothing bad happened
Another thing I just thought of , my GP once told me it is very rare for women to have heart problems before a certain age as one of our hormones (cant remember which ) protect us , & you are no where the age , she was talking about , so that was good news to me when she described that
Now nurse that hangover lol & I hope you have a good day
I hope this sends as well lol

I never learn, I always say that's it I'm not drinking again but I always do..no self control haha.
I know in my rationally I'm probably very health, I've tried to eat more healthy, gave up the cigs(well I had a sneaky few last night hehe) and I've started going walks and jogging so I'm sure I would know by now if someone thing was a miss. Funny though my dad really worried about his heart and has done for a number of years so I wonder if I've picked it up from him over the years. Xxx
My biggest fear I have at the moment is the fear of Roses and Whywhy.Every night they give me nightmares and tremors.Or maybe that's the DT'S
