Please can someone help me, I don't know what to do anymore.....

I have been reading through my old posts and see they seem to have the same thread for a year now, so I shouldn't be scared. But I have all the same symptoms, aching muscles in back, shoulders and neck. A buzzing / tremor feeling in my muscles, down my legs and soles of my feet and arms. Weak legs, scared to go out, nausea, churning tummy in the mornings with loose bowels, that then scares me for the rest of the day. I feel better towards the evenings, but the I am scared to go to bed as I know I will wake up with a bad tummy again. It's like I am expecting it, so I am scared.

I am seeing doctors, but I have spent the last two months so miserable and crying every day.

I know all of you are here because you feel bad one way or another. But if anyone could give me one small tip or one word of encouragement I would be so grateful. Thank you. X

Ok so i was like that before i haaaate waking up for a new day ! I knew there will be shaking there will be bad thought and ahhh the pain and whatsoever but once its dark i feel better ! Thats my dear is anxeity and guess what its the most common illness and the fastest illness also to get thru with ! , either you go the hard way and see a psychologist to help talk to or get medication like i did but it do get better trust me on that i know multiple people with mental illness severe even they got cured like schizophrenia so anxiety doctors call it the easy mental illness , i know you dont feel its easy but it will get easy.

So how i got over it ( anti depressants) and xanax sometimes to sleep if i have a big day , i used to have good thoughts about it i used to say ok so what if i shake or have a stomach ache i know nothing os wrong with me and its a flight or fight attack from my brain let me shake ( do not fight it , embrace it for it to go away ) and the bowel i used to go alot to the bathroom but i said to my self good your gonna lose weight or better your getting rid of all the toxins and if i didnt go to the bathroom i say whatever better than staying in the bathroom all day , the key here is to not fight the physical symptoms embrace them as they are and think positive of each one and what helped more excersize its a gift from god sertonin goes up and if you stick to it its better than any medication.

Sarsarz,

Thank for your reply, it just really helps to know we all get there and I know its going to be a while, I will try distraction and to try to get on with life despite it....I just needed some words of encouragement today.

Thank you xx

SarSarZ is absolutely right. This will get better but sadly there's no time limit. Exercise is great therapy. You won't believe so initially as it's hard to motivate yourself when feeling like you do. When we reach desperation we have to push ourselves to work that bit harder. Psychologists are aces at helping with it. I now take no meds...it was such a different story tho. I had agoraphobia, ptsd and anxiety and depression. I didn't want to be here anymore as I couldn't cope with my life as I knew it. I was in such a dark place. It seems such a long time ago but please let me tell you it's possible. You will do this. Grab whatever is offered...support esp...its paramount in recovery. I send you my best wishes.

Hi Janieliza,

I wanted to Thank you too for spending time to talk to me.

You are right we all take different times to recover and I will try some movement even if not exercise at the moment. I did go out for a short walk New year's day with my shaky jelly legs and iffy tummy.... but I did feel better for it, even though I was scared to go at first.

I will better when my morning tummy issues calm down, but I know its all connected. I have not been silly and am getting some things checked out by a doctor. But I know I am doing this to myself, just sometimes it gets too much.

Thank you for your time.
