My symptoms:

My symptoms today have been so weird. I really feel like I’m struggling to breathe. My legs feel so heavy. It’s hard to do anything. I just feel so shaky and I even took a nap after meditating because I finally felt relaxed, but I woke up and I still feel terrible. I got up to go sit outside and my legs felt like they were ready to let me fall over. I’m scared that I need to go to the ER and that something else is wrong with me. :( I keep checking to make sure that my lips aren’t turning blue

Hello destinymichelle. Given your age and the fact that you’ve had a medical workup for your symptoms, I’d say that I think you’re ok. It’s hard to understand why we have the extreme symptoms we do but we need to come to the realization that they’re a result of our brains.

This YouTuber does an amazing job of explaining why certain symptoms happen and how powerful the mind is. It’s also great to see that you aren’t alone.

I just finished watching the video. Thank you for sharing ❤️ I always worry that maybe the doctors missed something or maybe I’m actually getting worse and it’s hard to tell between what’s real and what’s fake, but I have been googling my symptoms more again and I think that’s playing a huge part into all of this because I was staying off of google or at least not googling my symptoms.

Hi, destinymichelle. I am sorry to hear you’re back to feeling not so great again. Have you thought more about trying to get medicated for your anxiety? Maybe at least temporarily until the worst of it passes? I don’t recommend medication lightly but, as I mentioned in previous posts, Paxil really helped me during a difficult time with anxiety and panic disorder.

It’s really hard for me right now because I don’t have any insurance and I can’t get myself to go to any free clinics. :(

Sorry but to clarify- what exactly do you mean by you can’t get yourself to go?

Just the thought of going sends me into a panic. I’m not sure why. I’ve had trouble going to the grocery store as well- it’s been very hard to do anything honestly.
