Despite this, I'm positive I will overcome anxiety and do not believe for a second that I'll just have to "live with it." I've spoken with many people and know of too many others that have overcome it completely. Anxiety is not an illness; it's a behavior. The fear we cause is created by us. Therefore, it can also be stopped by us. I will not be victimized by anxiety because it's not a creature, it's the result of a behavior.

But the symptoms do suck and it is scary. But I won't lose hope and I won't be victimized no matter how scared I am.

At some point in my 6years of anxiety i have had 61 of these symptoms x

[Aazz]

I have had the majority of those

[dkukulka]

Wow, that's one hell of a list!

I recently came across a publication that has literally changed my battle with anxiety... Paul David - At Last A Life

This has been an absolute revelation...highly, highly recommended!!

[Laurenpen31]

Wow! You have described most of the symptoms I have experienced over time. I know it's anxiety but at the time the symptoms are so real and scary it's hard to carry on.

[QuriusGeorge]

You describe everything I go threw wow,a few of em...

ive only had anxiety for a year. Well, I've had it longer, but I mean a year is when panic and physicals/mental symptoms happened.

[scarluca]

What a list! Suffering with most of the symptoms today and having read your list it helped me to understand the awful symptoms of anxiety and that I am not imagining them they are very real. I find meditation and relaxation helps. Good website is No More Panic lots of help and advice. Will try and get the book mentioned sounds good.

The majority of these symptoms have left me, the hardest ones lingering which again isn't surprising. And though the symptoms are very real, they are produced by the body's physiological changes stress provokes. But it all BEGINS with thought. Literally, every fear you have begins at a thought. Then you fear that thought. And then you react to the FEAR about that THOUGHT, not necessarily to the thought itself but what you've perceived that situation to be like. So if we can create that, we can uncreate it. Never assume you're trapped to a life with anxiety.

I love your post! You are very wise and absolutely correct. Your list was spot on too. I'll tell you what has helped me... God! Talk to Him. He hears. I have good days and bad days but He has really pulled me through. Take care and best wishes.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

He helps me so much! I think it says a lot that like most people I meet with anxiety have a strong hold on God.
