One of the many things that that burns my bacon about anxiety/ health anxiety, how it shifts from one symptom to another, one fear to another... we are in a constant tag team battle against unlimited opponents.

Today for example... my battle started with some dizziness, I worked thru that, then feeling headacheish, got thru that, then tightness in my chest, then " that zoni eyes feeling, then a dizzy/ headache combo! , then had a mini panic attack because I ate too much for lunch, and felt really tired and stomach...... and yeah..!!!

The fact that the anxiety is pulling out every trick, gives me hope... cause I'm done feeding it!!!

Overall I've been feeling better, doing better doing all those things out of my comfort zone. ...

I want to thank all the people on this site for your time and help... it has all helped .

Still a long way to go but....

Hi Timmy, That's Anxiety for you. It plays every game in the book and when we

don't respond, it tries another one. Anxiety is nothing but a mind game which we

can win if we don't feed into it. You've come a long way in taking that step forward

and getting out of your comfort zone. Keep up the good work and never give up

or give in. You're doing well. :) x

Ugh I know EXACTLY what you mean and it makes me feel crazy! I feel like how can one person have so much wrong but I feel it, it’s all there. I feel nauseous a lot (apparently from anxiety) and am actually dealing with it right now. It’s frustrating that all these anxiety symptoms cause more anxiety.

Have you found anything that helps? I’m hoping now that I’mon anxiety meds and getting back into counseling it’ll help the bodily symptoms.
