I hear ya ..😔 I think I'm also isolating myself from friends, & possibly a great guy because , other than family ..I don't want anyone else around me. I got issues already with this anxiety . Idk what to do because I'm dating someone but he isn't around me half of the time & he wants to be around me more & take things further..but I'm anxious at the thought of it. I dnt want him to see me be such a nervous wreck 😔 I thought the same thing, it's like we're aliens lol but hey, we're unique right ?😕 (Corny joke sorry) you'll feel better. If you dnt have a therapist , get one 😊Change the diet up a bit, meditate when you wake up & relax an hour before bed (turn everything off & put on relaxing music) you'll feel better ..if & only if you want meds , talk your dr first & find the right fit for you. 💞💞💞

Hey

Thanks for the advice....I did attend therapy but it didn't really help at all i jus dont understand how anxiety can make you feel so horrible then they say it's all in your head like REALLY ??????....and yeah at first I used to isolate myself but I told myself no i won't allow this thing to control me and my life even if I feel strange I still go out and meet friends but I do understand what you mean it's not easy when you have anxiety....

I understand . My therapist always says that. I agree, anxiety is one messy thing lol if you were to look up anxiety & all that it comes with ..physically & mentally...there's such a long list . That's true. I should take your advice & apply it to relationships & not isolate myself from dating & trying to find love 💞 Yep it's not easy at all.

I never believed my head could cause physical symptoms, I had and still have a weird cold-like set of symptoms very annoying. But then, after some months of therapy, I had a particularly terrible week at work and the following week all symptoms were twice as bad. It was like I was literally allergic to stress.

My therapist said in effect that's how it can be, stress is a hormone, a chemical and chemicals affect your body. Add in a ton of psychological issues and boom a loaf of physical symptoms to knock you flat.

Once I started believing it, recovery got quicker. I still get attacks, like now that's why I'm on here now lol but they are over much quicker and I can even do what the doc said and- sometimes- ignore them.

Good luck and check out the v reassuring lists of anxiety symptoms on here, it is good to know that lots of people have the same experience.
