Cannot cope this morning...

Every morning I wake up positive,

I go for my shower, I dry my hair put my clothes on and walk to the train station, yet as soon as I get on the train that's it , my chest goes all tight, my heart starts missing beats I go all warm, and that's how it is for the rest of he day. Every "oh I'm going to die" symptom known to man.

I have no faith left in things getting better...my mind is telling me I'm stuck with this.

You guys on here have been great though at reassuring me and giving me great advice, think I'd be in an even deeper hole if it wasn't for this site.

I'm struggling this morning but I just wanted to use my last bit of positivity to say thanks

Nothing is the end of the world nothing is as bad as your mind is telling you it is. don't focus on the fact that your heart is racing, is may look weird but focus on deep breathes, focus on the fact that you're still here, you're still standing. Take it a step at a time, drink plenty of water. change your focus.

I drink water till it's coming out my head lol, I've started taking magnesium for the heart palpitations, if it works or not I'm not sure.

Funny you say deep breathes, my heart always flutters when I take deep breathes, is that normal?

Hi Ashley

Plenty including me if they can get on here will be thanking you to , as even though I want things to get better for you , by posting how you feel , you are letting others that may not be able to speak up yet , or that do , no they are not on their own

I had a little bit of health anxiety last night , my legs all of a sudden were hurting me , I in the end had to put it down to the heat & the weather , even though have to admit was a little panicked , they still hurt a bit now , but shall try & ignore them

I think when we are suffering with HA , I no I keep saying the same , but our minds are so programmed in , to thinking the worse , it takes some doing to re train them , but it can be done , it is slow though

It wont help I no as you are worried , but you are still here & I no you will be for a long time

I sometimes think , well no one can have the illnesses I think I have had for as long as I have thought I have had them lol

It will get better , keep talking on here

Have a good day

Love

I always love hearing your advice

It's just everyday more or less whywhy. It's draining and it's really starting to get to me, I'm sitting on my lunch right now with my colleagues and I have to sit here pretending I am fine but inside my chest area, everything hurts, I could actually cry. But I'm not really one for making a scene at work lol.

Hi Ashley

Its so hard keeping up on here where you have left something with no email notifications , so if I dont reply its because I have forgot where I have written

Anyway first I hope you are not actually sat on your lunch as you say , it will be a bit flat

Are you close with your work colleagues , just one maybe ?

I have found people I am close with , its not about making a fuss , but if they no how I am , it makes it so easier , as pretending to be ok can be hard work & add to the anxiety

If you cant tell them , just think you are not on your own , there is us lot on here , thats what I did the other day when I went to town & it really did help

Soon be home time
