Giving up :-(

It has been almost two months for me waking up to this horrible feeling of my heart pounding, stiff body, tense muscles, nausea, panic attacks etc! My symptoms vary from day to day, one day my skin feels like burning, next day i feel calm but low and depressed, day later im so tense and nauseaus that i can swallow anything and have tension headaches, then i have a normal day or two- thinking 'its finally getting better' and next day out of the blue its totally bad again ;-(( I dont seem to control it, it is like my body controls me instead! I dont even know what it is, doctors blame everything on stress because of my very long history if anxiety problems. But im scared of ms due to tingling and buzzing in legs and arms (which also comes and goes), then this waves of sunburnt skin, then palpitations etc. I thought maybe fibromialgia but i dont ever suffer fatigue or pain in joints/muscles etc. GP wont send my for MRI because they say there is no reason for it! Im losing hope it will ever get better, my family are getting frustrated with my moods/anxiety and i just feel so alone with it! My GP's send me off after 5 min consultation, its always the same- try to relax, exercise, cbt etc. Which im doing! But not getting anywhere! Does anyone feel the same?

I have a lot of the same feelings you do it's very frustrating because there's no way to turn it off. Other people that have never had anxiety don't understand how bad it is. Maybe a different doctor might help I had to try more than one to find help. Meds and therapy are an option, but unfortunately there is no quick fix. You are not alone many people feel the way you do. Reach out to your friends and family they will understand try to explain it to them. I feel better when loved ones are around. Hope you feel better soon☺
