Anxiety, health and no sleep....

[u02smb8]

Hi there,

I've never written anything like this before, but in a strange way it feels kinda nice knowing that there is so many people out there who experience the same things i do each day.. Ive been suffering from anxiety for 10 years now, i know i shouldn't be counting the years but i can't seem to help it, my anxiety is random, not very well controlled and although i've had a million and one attacks each one is just as scary as the first.. I've had CBT, seen a psychologist, tried hypnotherapy, self help books but nothing seems to be really REALLY working, Its making me feel ill, physically. I convince myself theres something seriously wrong with me, which makes sleeping almost impossible sometimes and then i lay in bed crying because i just wish these feelings would leave me, knowing really all along that its me thats making them happen, so strange.

I think I have PCOS, i have many of the symptoms and I'm wondering if perhaps the hormonal imbalance in me can cause my anxiety to be worse? does anyone else think this.

I also have a fiance who is really great with me, very understanding but because of his sweet ways and how safe he makes me feel i get quite extreme separation anxiety from him when we are apart for long periods of time, i hate this feeling, i hate feeling like i need him to function.

I don't think I'm looking for answers, just anyone who may want to share their similar story. thanks guys

I also have a very sweet and loving man in my life he is the best I was in a abusive relationship for 12 year's then i meet my love and now I feel so safe with him he also have anxiet, depression and bipolar he helps me get through all of my anxiety panic attacks.. I had so much happen to me through out my life I am 38 years old and everything I've been through is Finley catching up to me I guess you can say.. I had tiny s symptoms my whole life like itchy skin,eye twitch,and fluttering heart from time to time now since I lost my ex from a drug over dose last October and I just had a major jaw surgery I have full blown anxiety panic attacks I hate it I can't function, sleep, stiff neck, back pain headaches and head rightness, dizzy spell's, arm,legs tingle and feel heavy after I have a panic attack i get so tired very sleepy heavy eyed. Thank God I have my love by my side he helps me so much and stayed up with me and Heald me all night until I felt better.. I am so glad to hear you also have some one who loves you who understands you it'sa awesome feeling to have some one to be there for us helps us get through anxiety so much easier.. my medicine is having some one who cares about what I going though,helps me through it never alone.. and when you said you have separation anxiety well I do to it's not a bad thing you just love your honey very much I also love mine very much as well he is the only one who makes me feel loved and worth
