I’ve been experiencing anxiety for about 3 months now. I had a panic attack in July and since then I haven’t been the same. I experience muscle twitching, headaches, other aches and pain, chest pain, I am constantly worrying and thinking “what if?” I’m always worried about my health and always cautious of what I eat, when I eat it. I’ve been going through so much lately, I absolutely hate going to work because I’m constantly stressing about if I’ll make it through the day. I stopped eating properly now and I’m now dealing with acid reflux and it’s absolutely horrible. I feel detached from myself and life. I hate getting out of bed, I hate going places. Everything has just been going so wrong for me lately and I’m tired. My grandmother just died, which makes everything worst. I can’t say exactly how I’m feeling to people because I feel like no one gets it. I’m just frustrated. I’m always searching on google about my health , I’m always thinking the worst of situations. I feel absolutely worthless and useless. I feel like so much has been taken from my life due to constant anxiety and it’s symptoms.

The dreadful pain
Hey your not alone I’m the same it’s going to be five years and this anxiety and panic attacks get worse I’m always in fear I don’t like going out I’m scared of life I’m always feeling week tired rapid heartbeat sweaty hands shaky and I’ve been eating a lot and very unhealthy I get stiffness on my face and my head hurts often I feel so much pressure on top of my head , I wake up so stressed and don’t look into a new day because it’s going to be the same thing all over and I’m currently on lexapro 7.5
Does that meditation help you get through your anxiety?
No it really doesn’t but I currently don’t have medical so can’t go get seen 😩
I’m in the same situation as you. I don’t have medical. I’m not taking any meds for anxiety and I’m trying to get on some. I have a free health clinic available to my use, but I can’t push myself to go through with it. Do you have anything like that you could possibly look into?
Well I’m currently listening to meditations every night and throughout the day when I can. I also do pray ( if you are a spiritual person) and I talk to my boyfriend about it. I’m looking into seeing a health professional. Because I don’t know how effective my remedies are for me right now.
Hello love, you are definitely not alone! ❤️
Your story sounds almost identical to mine. My anxiety started being really crazy in July and is still happening everyday to this very moment. It is so frustrating and depressing. The physical symptoms are enough to drive someone crazy... trust me I know how you’re feeling. I’ve been to the ER 3 times now because of it. Please, stop looking at google. Google is going to give you the worst case scenario. Sometimes it is helpful, but when you’re looking for medical things that aren’t the normal “everyone experiences this” like flu, common cold, strep, etc then it’s no good. I drove myself crazy by looking at google and it’s definitely a habit that I’m trying to break. I still do occasionally, but I’ve been doing pretty good lately. Please try to stop this as well. If you have any concerns go to an ER or your doctor to make sure that everything is normal and maybe it can put your mind at ease. This sounds just like anxiety to me. So similar to mine. I am also so sorry to hear about your grandmother. Losing someone is the hardest thing to deal with... crazy is that we’re going through the exact same thing except it’s about to be a year since my grandmother passed. If you need anyone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to message me! ❤️ I hope that you start feeling better soon.
Hey Destiny, thank you for your kind words. I went to my doctor about a month or more ago because I was having mild chest pains and my heart rate was about 144 BPM, I really thought I was having a heart attack. He told me my over health was fine and so was my heart. My Blood pressure was normal, a little elevated because I was in a anxious state, but I was okay.
My cousin also a doctor and she told me my increased heart rate is due to my anxiety and stress, which is obvious because IVE NEVER DELT WITH ANYTHING LIKE THIS before I had the panic attack in July. I am still stressing myself out about the symptoms and it’s so hard some days. I just hate the aches and I hate the feeling. Even worst with the GERD.
My heart rate has improved a bit so I know I have to work harder in trying to worry less and be happier.
I will definitely keep in touch with you! I am sorry for your lost as well and stay strong destiny. ❤️❤️
Yes that was me times 5 times worse . Nothing to have 2 massive panick attacks a week . I took myself to the Drs as I was at the end of my tether . Put on Zoloft and it’s been the best thing ever .
Hi ReeDiana. You are such a beautiful girl & sound like such a lovely person 
You so deserve to feel better!!! It really does sound like most of your symptoms are from anxiety 
Anxiety manifests itself in so many ways physically. It is the minds way of not having to deal with the pain emotionally. I would suggest seeing a psychologist. There are a lot of ways of treating anxiety without meds. Medications mask the anxiety for a time but they do not ever get to the root cause of the anxiety. You are young & you need to learn lifetime ways of coping with your anxiety. Medications have so many side effects & can cause so many problems. CBT & meditation & relaxation techniques are so much better. It does take time & a fair bit of work but it is the only way to reprogram your brain. It really helps to write down at the end of the day all the positive things that happened during the day Maybe you helped someone during the day or met someone you thought was nice or enjoyed something you did I really think your gerd is being caused by your anxiety as well I so hope you feel so much better soon! Remember the most amazing people on this planet are people that have been down & out & have come out the other side God bless you. Rod from Australia
I was reading this on my way to bed and this surely put a smile on my face. Thank you for reaching out. I can also tell that you have a beautiful soul. I know my anxiety is hard, I find myself at my best when I’m around the people I love and not worrying so much. But as soon as I get quiet and alone time, there goes the anxiety and its symptoms.
I will try seeing a physiologist as well, I can definitely use it.
Best
Diana ❤️
I understand 1000% iv been they it 3 times, I’m going thru this my 3rd time, it’s really hard , it’s like living in hell everyday, it’ll get better, it may not seem like it but it will, I don’t take medication I just suffer thru it, I find little things that help even if it last 2 seconds, The first time lasted 9 months, the second time was 4 months, and I’m currently a month into this, you’ll feel good again just keep pushing it, realize it’s anxiety, your not dying, it’s just anxiety, Keep fighting
I'm sorry to hear that you have been suffering through this for 3 months. Definitely glad that you had the medical consult to confirm that you are healthy overall so you don't have to worry about your heart of blood pressure or other dangerous factors. I'm sure the doctor could prescribe medication for the GERD since that is such a common thing for many people.
Have you been able to identify what the trigger may have been for the panic attack in July? And what meditation/focus techniques are you using that you are having success with? There are definitely many techniques to use and it does take a bit of practice and time to find what works best for you with the specific triggers you may be dealing with. A lot of this can be found by researching on your own but if you are open to it, a counselor may be a good resource for you as well. Do you have insurance through work which might make this possible?
Not what you're looking for?
