My anxiety is so bad today. I typically try to cope myself but had to turn to prescription today. Even then, I still feel uneasy. I am trying to nap to see if maybe itās because Iām tired but I keep thinking somethings going to happen to me while I sleep š¢
Also, I donāt have an appetite today. I had carrots and yogurt this morning because thatās all I could force myself to eat. Itās been 8 hours and Iāve yet to have anything to eat. Nor does anything sound good.
Should I go to the hospital to make sure itās nothing else. I have no other symptoms though. Ugh. I need help today š¢š I canāt deal

I think it could very well be your anxiety, but I'm not a medical expert. Maybe try a few breathing exercises or grounding stuff. But if you want to go to the doctor to be safe that's perfectly fine. Just do what you feel is best
Idk, I may be over thinking it. I donāt have any pain. Just loss of appetite and I think itās scary because I normally eat. I love food. Iām scared itās a heart attack or something but thatās always my fear. I have gone to see a cardiologist who has done lots of work on me to assure me that itās not my heart. I just donāt know
Sorry u are having a tough time. If u really feel physically ill, please don't hesitate to go to the ER. If you dont feel that its that urgent and dont have any existing illnesses that can be life threatening, is anything on your mind that can b increasing your anxiety? Are u on regular prescription meds? Have u been feeling this way alot lately or is it new? It could be alot of things or something like dehydration or lack of sleep. Whatever it is, you have our support.
I have a prescription but I donāt want to take it. I donāt want a daily dose. I also have 14 pills of Ativan prescribed , which is what I took and I felt a bit better. Iām not spiraling now. Just worried about not being able to eat
Do u have trouble eating on regular basis? I'm glad UR are going to c your PCP. I agree with Danny to try busy work (this helps my anxiety as well). Try to drink water if you can as dehydration can make things worse overall. Listening to music is good. I know, at least for me it's hard to do things and focus when I'm anxious. I'm glad you sent a message so you're talking to someone.
No, I normally eat a lot lol I love food. Today is the first day that i am not wanting to eat š thatās why I was so concerned. I started painting my nails. Just trying to refocus š¢
That's a really good idea to paint your nails! What color (s)?
I've had that feeling I was going to have a heart attack not too long ago. I saw a cardiologist and they assured me all was well. I was extra concerned bc I had a rare heart condition when I was a baby and it almost killed me. But there was no damage. The psychiatrist and cardiologist agreed it was my anxiety. I hope that helps and does not scare you more bc everything as it happened turned out in the end.
Theyāre a pastel blue! It helped for the meantime. But I just canāt shake this feeling off. I have a question for you, so my cardiologist did an ekg, a stress test and an echo. Everything came out clear. All my blood work did too. I feel like itās not my heart (most of the time) but now that they cleared my heart Iām like well what if itās my head. How do you feel? Does your chest hurt and stuff? Just trying to get insight
Pretty color! Well I have had anxiety since I was little. Depression came on at 18. I'm 44 now but there's times I feel like my head is just going to explode. Of course I've never heard of that happening. I still get nauseous, shakey, dizzy, confused, I lose touch with reality (that's more to post Traumatic Stress Disorder ). I used to get alot of headaches and migraines, which made me think there could b a physical issue. But they did an MRI and didn't find anything. Migraine runs in my family. So they put me on meds for that bc the headaches were daily.
Before u see ur PCP, write down all your concerns and symptoms, even if they don't seem like a big deal.
Yes, Iāve been writing down what Iām doing when these things happen and what I try to do. I havenāt had one this bad for a while now. Iām so sad. I donāt want to be on a regular medication. I only want to take one as needed but even then, I donāt feel like the Ativan did anything or much today. It helped with the panic but I still have little spurts.
i'm sorry you're having a tough time. Did the medication help at all? Maybe some deep breathing would help. I wish I had the answers, I go through it often. I'm prescribed Effexor and Xanax and it helps. Try cleaning or organizing something..doing "busy work" helps me
I wouldn't worry tyoo much about losing your appetite. I d o it all the time i love food too i ca eat well for a month then out of the blue not hungry. Anxiety is awful today i got this terrible sensation that went right through my body then i got hot flush Straight away panic. Went away after couple of minutes. Every day i think i have some terrible disease because there is a lways something going pn in stomache, or chest or legs. I never get tired but so overwhelmed by a ll these sensations. If doctors haven't suffered them how can they possibly know what we are going through.
Exactly! I know they just want to write a prescription and go about their day but I just want to find other ways to cope. I want to feel better but that feeling just takes over my body. I wish I knew how to better control it. Iām so sad about it now
Yes exactly. I have been like this 2 years not one day do i feel good. Went to hosp thought i was dying did tests sent home. But i think something seriously is going on. They do sll your vitasls if nothingv shows up bye bye go snd suffer some more lol.
Exactly! Every time Iāve went theyāve just said itās anxiety and said byeeee lol Iāve had lots of testing though. Blood tests, stress test, ekgās and even an echo as of recent, all of which came back fine. Which makes me feel like Iām just crazy and thatās what I try to think about when I start getting these episodes. Iāll tell myself that Iāve had all these tests done and that it may just be my anxiety. It sucks so much. Iām constantly like what if they missed something but goshhhh. How unlucky would I be. So many hours spent to make sure. I want to GEt an MRI. Hoping that will ease me
I had ecg stomache xray l blood test for markers cane back all good but i still panic and think i have cancer. Not good but lots of tests have missed things. I want to have scans too that's the only thing that will put my mind to rest.
Youāre okay. Iāve been there too. Something that helps me is to tell myself that itās all in my mind. I tell myself Nothing is really going to happen to me, itās just all in my mind. Take some deep breaths and try it. I learned by doing this that Iām putting my anxiety in itās place and not letting it gain control over me. If it makes you feel better or like you will have peace of mind to go to the hospital then you should do that. But, to save yourself the trip, maybe just try to mentally regain control. I hope you feel better. Iāve had the feeling way too many times and it sure does suck.
You may just be having an off day?we all do ,dont worry about no apetite thats normal ,i love food but have days when im not hungry no big deal
