Anxiety is taking over my life

[kmerritt]

Im 22 years old and I'm feeling very discouraged because for the past couple of weeks my anxiety has been worse than ever. I can't eat without wanting to throw up. I wake up with feelings of dread every morning. Last week I thought I was going to have a heart attack because my right arm was numb and I had a shooting pain near my armpit so my mom called 911 and the EMTs told me I was fine and that it was probably just nerve pain. All I think about everyday is my symptoms and wonder what's wrong with me. I've been very fatigued and sleep more than normal. I just wish everything would go back to the way it was. My boyfriend doesn't understand my anxiety all that well even though he tries and it makes me feel guilty that he has to deal with my crazy anxious thoughts all the time. I wonder if I will ever be able to have a normal day again. Right now each day of living is exhausting and I am never truly happy. I'm too scared to go to the doctor and the thought of it makes me even more anxious. I'm currently not in therapy/counseling and I'm not on any meds

I started feeling like that endnote I was your age and I still waste so much time I. Anxious worry, I'm so sorry you are going through this, but lease listen and go get a physical and let a doctor do a work up and tell him or her all your worries , and they will give you peace of mind, instead of wondering . Prayers my friend , and keep in touch
