Anxiety or something more?

[2sara1]

A few years ago now I had a breakdown (thinking I was dying/had chronic illness’ etc) and it took me a year or so to rebuild myself and I felt okay for a while. I would have these moments where I would feel a great deal of anxiety and I would think it was something else like a seizure. I haven’t felt this for a while but recently I have noticed that I worry about having epilepsy and seizures every single day. I am really hyper sensitive to how my body and brain feels. If I get the slightest head rush that’s it my brain is on alert for this ‘upcoming seizure’ that never happens of course. But I’ve felt it so much recently and I’m not sure how to stop feeling this way? I am becoming so tired of worrying constantly about what might happen and could happen. I wish I could just be normal 😞

hi I doubt very much you would suffer epilepsy ive had seizures but that was my own doing due to drug/alcohol.it sounds more anxiety related but you should go back to the doctors for a chat to ease your mind.

I know the feeling. I've cried so much. I've been through the same things and I'm just so tired of worrying. I said to myself once that I've worried so much that maybe the day something sinister does happen, I'll be over worrying because I've worn myself out for worrying so much now.

I can so relate to what you’ve said, I remember my mum saying don’t worry so much you will make yourself ill , I feel I have done just that and can’t get back on right track.

What I did I just said enough if been going through so called anxiety syndrome for about from thinking I was going blind to thinking I needed back surgery to having every ache and pain you could think of and it's a fact when your engaged with family and friends everything is just fine it's every time were alone or have no so called purpose in life we always put ourselves down because there's always. One. Person who will always listen to us guess who? If you really want him or her to go away forever just tell them you had enough as stupid as that is it worked for me because you know we are all going to leave this Earth some day and I don't know about you but I decided I want to make this life the best I can and you know rich or poor black or white we all have that power if we only use it

When we were born, it was as if we began falling from a flying airplane. No parachute. No maybe, we are going to splat. This metaphor can be expanded in numerous ways. We are not examining the various ideas that proliferate about how our earthly experience came about or what may happen after it ends.

For now, we focus just on this fall and our three choices for however long as the fall may last.

1.We could disregard the inevitable and close our eyes. Avoidance will thwart our view of the beautiful scenery on our journey to the splat.

2.We could flail and cry with fear. Again, missing the scenery.

3.Our third choice is to relax and enjoy each nugget of the fall, each day of our life.

Sounds like anxiety related. Most of us with anxiety are super sensitive to bodily functions and slightest little niggle or funny feeling. You not alone.
