I have been dealing with anxiety for about 6 months. I never felt like this and I'm 36yrs old. My body is so sensitive now, it's like I feel everything!  I have headaches (something I never really had) the dr. says it's tension/migraines. Feeling in my head (like my brain is moving/pulling sensation). Pinching feeling in my chest, Muscle spasms, Anytime I try to go to sleep it's like my body is sinking and I jump up and I have this weird sensation that runs through my body. I can hear my blood flow in my ear.  I had xrays,mri,blood work everything normal. I'm gonna fight this thing called Anxiety!

I wish you the best of luck. I also have anxiety but I can't fight it. It already won this war. But I have the same symptoms as you.

Don't give up! It get's hard. You have be around positive people and find at least one person who is willing to help you and talk to you! I do alot of praying! I have meds that the dr. prescribe but I don't take it because I don't want to become addicted or depend it to make me feel better.  May God Bless you and remember to keep the faith! Trouble Don't Last Always!

Fighting causes tension, relaxation is the key. Easier said than done. Something in our lives has brought this about. Anxiety is the way the body sends a message to us to change whatever is causing tension. The way we think, act, feel about ourselves. Maybe it's something in our lives, a job, a relationship generally our circumstances. I know I just want less responsibility. I'm aware that I feel other peoples pain and run to the rescue - I'm a fixer, but I can't help everyone or every animal. I'm exhausted and my body is telling me to change. The symptoms are horrible - I get so dizzy and feel off balance, but balance is exactly what I need in my life. Time for change. Time to let go.
