Relapse. Help!

Hi all,

Since I am posting again in such a short period of time it would appear I am having a terrible anxiety relapse.

I often have 'panic attack' symptoms, usually at night, but at the moment my anxiety seems to be more constant all day.

I got married last week and just before this I had tonsillitis. I think both the wedding and the timing of the tonsillitis really impacted on my anxiety levels. After the wedding, I was hoping it would go but we went straight on honeymoon and I still had a throat infection (which got a bit worse) and I went into panic overload.

I have had a range of symptoms over the past few days all of which I felt were linked to my throat but actually the most of caused by my anxiety.

I am currently sat up trembling all over, my head feels funny, my ears are ringing and I keep feeling wave of pressure down my body my breathing isn't right and I keep trying to take deeper breaths and keep my shaking under control so my head doesn't start shaking because that scares me. Has anyone any advice on what to do?

I am going to the doctors tomorrow but I think I am so tense about it I feel so weird.

I know I need to get a grip of it myself but has anyone got any advice? I am starting to feel really helpless (which is making it worse) because I thought I had defeated anxiety/ could control it but this seems to be horrible feelings all the time so I can't control it all the same :(

Feeling really low and worried. :(

Thank you!

When you have a panic attack, it can feel like the end of the world. It is not. It is temporary an it ALWAYS goes away.

A new life brings new experiences, and brings new responses.

Be the great observer of your life............and accept how you are feeling.

Get up make a cup of HOT tea and put in a lot of sugar or honey.

Find any reason to keep moving around.

You have a lot of changes going on and it is natural to be really nervous about them.

It's all normal.

Congratulations on your wedding :) sorry you’re felling so rubbish though. I get like this and it sux so badly. Ask to have some blood work done like a full blood count etc and make sure all your electrolytes are normal.

Congratulations! I am curious, do you have any thyroid problems?

Also, many people have racing heart, etc from infections. It could be your infection is kicking your body into a frenzy, it happens! And anxiety sufferers have an even harder time with that.

Hang in there. Drink that warm tea, but I say low honey, no sugar as sweets can make anxiety worse.

Let us know what the Dr. says. Take care. We are here😊

Congratulations on your marriage, that's a really exciting new journey! I'm sorry you're struggling with anxiety, especially during a time that should be quite enjoyable. I hope you were able to get some clarity regarding your physical symptoms from your doctor. Do you have a counselor you're working with? It would be beneficial probably, since this is so severe and frequent for you. Take some time to truly care for yourself.. a little self love does the body and mind good. Hope you're doing better today!
