What will it take.

I am so tired of feeling this way. Up and down up and down.. I feel ill. I get energy and get happy and then boom I am feeling like a mess again. Even when I take my meds. Everyday is a struggle and I am so sad to live a life like this at 20. When does it stop. What ever went so wrong in my life that I have to be this way. I have tried everything. I am tired and I am sick. Most of all I miss my old self. I would do anything to get her back. Its like I am locked in a room and lost the key. I feel stuck.

It is so hard. So so so hard. Ill wake up and have a good day and things will be going good and then boom... I get chest pains and back pains and stomach pains dizziness. It is always something and it never stops

You are not alone. I feel exactly the way you feel. It started with heart palpitations, led to chest pain and shortness of breath, and now it's headaches and feeling just... "off" like I'm not all there. Trust me, you are not alone. But we will beat this, we will. Keep your head up, and keep thinking positive thoughts. Anxiety is ALL IN OUR BRAIN. I miss my old self too.... I just always think to myself, "why can't I just be happy?" "Why does something always hurt?" It's all thoughts. And "thoughts become things." I read that in a book I'm currently reading, and it truly talks about how we attract everything in life. Keep your chin up!!!

I feel like i wroylte this myself ive literly felt every symptom but now not as much now its just a unwell feel i always feel sick or if something is wrong there time like you say i could feel normal again and happy and then smack here it goes again we just gotta keep trying its really hard it literly convinces me to think something is wrong but im tires of seeing doctors and not finding out whats wrong if its anxiety ive been dealing with this for 3 months hoping everyday i will be normal again i do not wish this on my worst enemy on no one we just gotta keep going maybe those moments of feeling normal for a little while are sign of improvement and progress

I know...😟I can't tell you when it'll get better, but I can tell you it will get better. Mine comes and goes throught the years...this is the first time it has been this bad. I know it's hard, but keep going.

I wake up everyday and just try so hard to have a good day.. I really do. The doctors said a lot of the pains I feel in my back and in my chest come from my muscles. But at times it feels like its my heart and scares me to death. Or ill be dizzy and feel like I can't breathe. Or ill be just so tired and sad and have a feeling of things not being real around me. I absolutely hate it so much. I try not to live in fear but its so hard.

But then again I feed my fears. I sit and dwell on them and let them get me down. Instead of going out and living I stay home in my safe little world. Don't get me wrong I have my good days.. But alls it takes is for one little thing to go wrong or one little pain to just knock me right back down.. Seriously is the worst. I hope we all can over come this.

Rissa, it's hard to not live in fear when we wake up each day anticipating what the day may bring. Instead of welcoming a new day. It's true in what your doctor says about a lot of our pain coming from tight, over tensed muscles. Our heart is a muscle so why shouldn't that also be affected by our anxiety. Feeling like you can't breathe is also a tightening of the diaphragmatic muscles making it feel like you can't take that full breath. Feeling dizzy/lightheaded can come from tight muscles in the back of the neck as well as the inner ears (yes, muscles in the inner ears can affect our balance and produce dizziness)

This can be overcome by reversing the anxiety. In doing that you will eliminate the symptoms. You do that by not focusing in on your symptoms and carrying on. The symptoms aren't going to kill you but the anxious thoughts and worry will drive you mad. Once you are able to start ignoring the symptoms, they will lessen and eventually just disappear. It can and will happen for each and every one of us. Take care Rissa.
