Hi Jess, I get the numbness as well in my arms and legs, mostly the right side and sudden sharp pains, it's terrifying. When you wake up startled, can you remember if you were dreaming or had that sudden feeling of tripping or falling?

There are lots of physical symptoms that go with anxiety. It might be an idea to look them up so that you can recognize them as what they are - symptoms of anxiety. Unpleasant but not dangerous. Try to tell yourself that it's just anxiety and it will pass, because it always does. You might want to try an on-line or in-person CBT group as well. Thousands of people have learned how to manage their anxiety. It's also a very common condition. Although it's scary (trust me, I know!!) it's not dangerous.
