Physical Symptoms from my Anxiety

[Yuzy04]

I suffer from terrible health anxiety, well just anxiety in general everyday day in day out I wake up and go to sleep with the pit feeling of anxiousness in my stomach. Asides from all that I’ve been having terrible affects from my anxiety which is hard to differentiate from an actual issue with to just my my anxiety.

For the last week or so I’ve been experiencing migraines and tension headaches which has also made my neck throb in the back. Along with that I just don’t feel like myself. I can’t stop googling symptoms even though I know that’s the worst thing I can do. It’s like I google to search for answers or something to help me feel relief but it never works. My latest is My eyes have been feeling a little off like it’s either feeling dry or maybe pressure I can’t even tell anymore. Google is telling my I have glaucoma so of course my mind freaks out. I’m just a mess and I wish my anxiety could take a break. The worst feeling is when I try to talk to someone about my anxiety and they just have no idea what I’m feeling, just thinking it’s simple and something small but it’s something take takes over me every day. It’s so frustrating.

Thank you for listening.

hi don't be dr googling that will set your anxiety off the scale are you on medication from time to time I get bad headaches think they are related to my medication but maybe go to your gp if it keeps worrying you but please don't google.

Hey! I totally know how you feel. I dont know what's real or anxiety at the moment and I'm struggling tiers achy bad back sore neck. I literally have no reason to be anxious which makes me think there must be something wrong. It's a vicious circle and when your stuck in it it's so hard to get out. I was a serial Googler and it 100% makes it worse I'm not gonna lie I still do the odd time but I'm actively trying not to xxx

I agree I think that’s the worst part of it all. I literally have nothing to be anxious about but I feel it at such a high level I always seem to have these terrible physical symptoms from it.

I always say to my husband I think if I didn't have physical symptoms I could totally get things under control but anxiety gives us every symptom imaginable 😭. I just want to chill and enjoy christmas! Iv just got an awful feeling of dread. Xxx
