ANYONE FEEL NUMB FROM THEIR ANXIETY?

[Hope4TheBest07]

DOES ANYONE HERE FEEL LIKE THEIR FACE AND ARM FEELS A LITTLE WEIRD. LIKE A COOL FEELING? I HAVE FULL STRENGTH IN MY ARM AND STUFF BUT ITS A SCARY FEELING SMH I WENT FOR AN MRI FEW MONTHS AGO FOR THE SAME ISSUES, RAN BLOOD TESTS, CAT SCAN AND EVERYTHING CAME OUT NORMAL. ANXIETY IS RUINING MY LIFE AND I AM EXTREMELY SCARED OF EVERYTHING. IM ALWAYS THINKING THE WORSE I GO ON A JET SKI "WHAT IF I FALL IN AND DROWN EVEN WITH THE VEST" "WHAT IF I FALL IN AND THE JET SKI HITS ME IN THE HEAD" I GO TO A PARTY "WHAT IF ITS A FIRE AND WE ALL GET STUCK" GO ON A ROLLER COASTER "WHAT IF THE BELT UNBUCKLES" IM ALWAYS THINKING THE WORST AND TAKES ALL THE FUN OUT OF EVERYTHING. I CANT ENJOY MYSELF FULLY. IM BEGINNING TO THINK IM GOING MAD. SMH DOES ANYONE FEEL LIKE THIS? AND WHEN IM SUPER STRESSED I THINK EVEN WORSE..... I WANT TO RID OF ANXIETY N LIVE LIFE WITHOUT THIS STUPID THOUGHTS.

Hi yes anxiety causes a whole load of weird feelings and symptoms,and there are lots of people who feel just as you do,our thoughts run away with us,what if this happens,what if that happens,I cant do that because,i will never be able to do that,i know its not easy but each thought you have that is a bad thought and will make you feel worse or stop doing things,you have to try hard to replace that thought with a more rational thought ,you are not going mad you are just punishing yourself by catastrophising about everything,it seems you would benefit from some CBT therapy,it works on how we think and react,anxiety is a part of us,we cant get rid of it but we can learn to be kind to ourselves and manage it more positive ways.I do hope you find your own way of calming your anxiety down and i wish you well

It was almost like in wrote your post myself. I feel exactly like you. I thought I figured it all out....only for my anxiety to come back. Chest pain, back pain, hip pain, leg pain, numbness, I panic at the local fair I can't enjoy anything by I'm looking at the worse. When I have a pain and focusing on it..it hurts...so bad...if I get distracted from my thoughts it doesn't hurt at all...moment I think of it the excruciating pain is back....
