ANXIETY- Trapped in mind.

I tend to avoid forums because they often make me feel worse, but I'm curious to see if anyone else can relate to the symptoms I'm going through. I went through a mild bout with anxiety when I was 18 and then suddenly it disappeared a few weeks later. However, I turned 21 recently and suffered my first panic attack and it's come back again... Since then I've just constantly felt like I'm trapped in my mind and going insane! It's like my conscience never switches? I know that sounds really odd. It is every minute of the day unless maybe my mind becomes distracted by something else for a short period. I had been something with a large amount of stress from university and personal issues. I worry I may stay like this forever and it's got me very emotional and upset. I was just wondering if anyone else can relate to what I'm going through or has overcome it?

Hey there!! I suffer from very bad anxiety! I have a fear of vomiting!! When I had just turned 19 my anxiety dissapeared! I felt great no worries slept like a baby for a whole year!then I hit 20 one year later and the dreadful was back! I as well feel like I'm trapped in my own mind!! I'm afraid of my own body! I feel like I have no control over how I feel! Its very sad but it van be helped so don't worry!😊 I just found out I was pregnant! I'm 8 weeks and 4 days and with a fear of vomiting my anxiety is hitting the roof! But I have faith!,ino people who suffered like us and they done CBT or hynothearapy or some sort of therapy and are doing great! Don't loose hope! Have faith do some research! And I wish you all the luck! 😌😌

Thank you Taylor! Yeah I truly believe this will go but it's just scary when you don't know when! Mum suffered it as well and she's very supportive and tells me it's very much temporary and stress related. Congrats on your pregnancy and I'm sure everything will be fine :-)
