Hello this is a new symptom for me but after research I've realized its normal for anxiety... I reccomend this website anxietynomore.co.uk I stumbled across it last night after having disturbing thoughts (another lovely symptom), I feel its helped me knowing im not only the only one experiencing this hell...hope it helps you. I've just purchased the book too I'm doing everything I can to beat this.

Hope this helps x

I feel exactly the same and do you know what's worse is that I feel so distant from everyone and everything right now. I'm currently waiting CBT counselling but don't know how long it's going to be...in the meantime I come on here as I know others who understand are going through the same and it makes me realize I don't have to suffer alone. Its so scary especially if you get the thoughts like your about to die ect...I keep hearing to allow your thoughts in don't run away from them because they will come back (and they do for me later on in the day), so just go with your thoughts allow them in like you don't care as anxiety feeds off your worry's and if you're scared or trying to fight it, it only gives it more power so that's what I'm going to try its hard but like I said before I'm just trying everything...what symptoms do you have if you don't mind me asking?? Xx

Thank you so much that's very helpful. I've been having severe migraines pain behind nose and eyes, shortness of breath occasionally, feeling disconnected, weakness, constantly having intrusive negative thoughts all of it and every day It's just getting harder I'm seeing a therapist but it's only been two days have you found that it's helping you at all?

Also what are your symptoms and what do you find helps you calm down the most and relax

Aww you're welcome glad I could help oh no poor you sorry to hear that.. It started with thoughts of dying when I went to bed , then had them in the day too have feeling of being disconnected from everything and everyone like I'm not here so have to pinch myself or something to feel alive if that makes sense then went onto panic attacks and disturbing thoughts I ended up in a&e two weeks ago as having difficulty breathing was checked over really well and it was just anxiety. I haven't started counseling just yet waiting for an app I've downloaded an app called pacifica and it's really helping me atm I tried another one called headspace but it makes my anxiety worse so the pacifica app is Much more relaxing for me. I find coming on here helps and I've been trying to let me thoughts in which I think is helping but it's scary as some are disturbing how old are you if you don't mind me asking do you know what could of triggered it... I think I know mine xx

I'm only 19, but I'm going through exactly the same thing. But for me I've always been a very anxious person and it starred after I graduated highschool. How about you??

[lucasbear22 in reply to Hidden]

Aww bless you that's not good to have at such a young age without sounding patronising you have so much more to learn and shouldn't be worrying and having anxiety at your age so sorry to hear how bad yours is....im 26 i had postnatal depression when o had my little boy at 23, but that was so different to this...this i believe has come about due to alot of stresses in the last year the main one being we have damp at the property and have been trying to get someone to listen to me to solve the issues but no one has helped and The landlord is a complete arsehole...my little boy suffers from asmatha and living here makes ot worst so i have been constantly battling with the local council and landlord to do something but they dont seem to care...so from all th stress/worry i started having anxiety 😕 i must say though accepting my thoughts and not being in fear of them has helped me ive not been to bad today a little anxious but nowhere near as bad as ive been before. Ive recived my book today by paul david (the link I showed you) so looking forward to reading it....hope things start getting better for you very soon xx

This was one of my first symptoms of anxiety. It's very common, often referred to as "spacing out." It's very typical and goes away when you stop worrying over it
