I haven't been on here for a long while now,I suffered with bad anxiety for 3 years,it's been months now and I've been totally fine,I started a new job a few months ago and everything is going good,I do suffer from the symptoms but just tell them to go away and as daft as it sounds they do,I couldn't drive before with it but I'm back driving now,I know that I have to drive as it's a big part of my job,if anyone out there is suffering like I did I'm here to answer any questions xx

Are on meds? How bad were your symptoms and what were they? How sick did you feel? What exactly to you do as you tell them to go away?

I wasnt on any med's because I knew deep down there was nothing wrong with me,I was always at the hospital getting checked over,I had every symptom going,dizzy,pin n needles,chest pain,feeling sick,when the symptoms came and they still do now I say to myself there's nothing wrong with me and just carry on with what I'm doing and it does work eventually,it's ur brain telling u have these symptoms even tho u feel like ur dying,anxiety ruined my life for 3 years and I've a 7 year old to think about and that's what I kept telling myself xx

Thanks for sharing. I have all those symptoms as well. I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old to take care of I really want to get better. I just don't know what to do... everyone says there is nothing wrong with me. I'd love to be able to get on with my life

That's what I said about having a normal life and I have now,but it's only you that can cure yourself,the symptoms are really scary but nothing has happened to u has it? So when you get a symptom just think that yo yourself and it does eventually work,my daughter lost out on a lot when I first had the anxiety,I'm making up for it now tho xx
