Every single day there is something not quite right inside of me to the point i feel hopeless.
I feel off balance, dizzy, lightheaded,woozy, palpations, heavy limbs,tingles in my body, it terrifies me.
I have to be stopped in calling 999 on myself almost everyday.
When doctors tell me " your fine,there nothing wrong", i just feel like roaring like a caged lion!
Oh, i use to have a very active life,now im afraid of every day and what symptom it will bring.
Hi,every day I feel like exploding in a fit of rage,then I feel like sobbing my heart out.I count to 10,walk around and tell myself im ok.I accept that physically I am ok,this helps with the physical symptoms,god its hard but I get through.On the mental side I struggle, especially at bedtime.I fear my bed because it is the place I suffered my panic attack.I face my fear by getting in bed rather than sleep downstairs.My mind races,my anxiety levels rise but eventually I sleep,not for long but better than nothing.Tomorrow I am going to a C.A.R.M. meeting,i don't fully understand what this involves,part of it is or can be acupuncture,who knows,i will let you know.It is all part of an addiction recovery plan,former addicts can suffer terrible anxiety.I am willing to try anything to find the solution and will keep you informed,it may help,i hope so,take care.
Hi love i also suffered just like castelnuadry it was the most terryifying experience it made me feel ill i too hated going to bed i use to love my sleep and was terrified of dark coming the panic attacks got so bad i even stopped driving for a while i was in and out of hospital worried it was something more serious i am now taking citalopram and am just starting to feel better still have my ups and downs think we always will with anxiety but you can make things better go back to your gp and tell him you want some help and advice and are struggling to cope with the symptoms and are making you feel ill let us know how you go xxxx
Hello Sarah, I think I know what you mean hun! When you say you feel like you're dying I actually feel as though I'm hoping to drop dead. I've felt this way for about 9 months and it has got a lot better honestly! I haven't taken any medication but I have had councilling and CBT and of corse many trips to doctors lol.
The only advice I can give you is to keep reasoning with yourself if the docs have said you're fit and healthy the I'm sure if are! It's just your mind playing tricks and telling you to fear your feelings which are feelings of anxiety or panic.
Maybe find a self help book to get you started I'm sure somebody on here will recommend one!
All the best hun. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask x
Please read my past blogs they may help you a little
The symptoms you describe are all anxiety symptoms - but just because an something is an anxiety symptom doesn't mean it's all in your head and your somehow just making it up! I'm much the same as you in that I obsess on physical symptoms. I'm pretty sure I have some underlying health anxiety in my tangle of anxieties - I'm currently working through "Overcoming Health Anxiety" by David Veale and Rob Wilson which I would certainly recommend. One of the first steps in overcoming is trying to reframe your symptoms as anxiety rather than any underling illness (never-ever google your symptoms!) which is hellishly difficult but does help. I also use an online forum called no more panic (nomorepanic.co.uk) which has a sub forum devoted to health anxiety which can be helpful as well 
Hi Sarah,believe me this is pure anxiety,these are exactly what I have on and off,I can't leave the house somedays,,because of the dizziness,and feeling like im going to die,but then amazingly it all goes away,and I feel great..thats how I am completely sure its anxiety,because if it was anything else I would be dead by now, I do take Xanax and rescue remedy,and I am doing CBT at the minute,and I think this would help you,it did wonders for me,CBT wont put the anxiety away,what it does is learns YOU how to put it away...hope this helps.xxxx
Hiya miarose, I'm the same as urself I feel really bad where I have to come home from work but after a few hours I feel good! Then I feel so so stupid when I'm in my senses and think why do I allow myself to get so bad. I'm doing CBT at the moment too. They seem to think my panic attacks and anxiety comes from a trauma I had about 17 years ago. Can I ask what u do at ur sessions?
hello adele,I have a very good councillor,he dosen;t dwell on the past ,or what triggered my anxiety,he teaches me to cope with it now,when I started CBT I was afraid to leave the house on my own,he give me goals to do every day,one was to walk up the town on my own,first time was very hard,but it got easier every time ,now I can do it.no bother.another one was to walk into a shopping centre,,I am still working on this one,as I get dizzy with all the people around,he tells me not to let my anxiety control me,but for me to control it..and if I feel dizzy to ask myself,whats the worst that can happen,he says sit down,and look around me,I did this,and you know,nobody was even looking at me,and I realised thats what I was afraid of,people seeing me walking as if I was drunk.once I realised nobody was looking at me,I could walk in and not get dizzy,does any of this make sense to you, my anxiety is not completely gone,but I dont panic anymore with it..its a horrible feeling,I also have to write down my anxiety rating on a score from 1 to 10 every hour, what I was doing ,and thinking during that hour..its a lot of work,if you want to know more let me know.xxxxxx
Thank you all for your posts, just managed to get through them all and take them in.
In many ways it's a relief to know that i'm not alone but i am sorry that so many of you feel such intense physical symptoms of anxiety.
I feel the only temporary relief i get is when i sleep.
Even right now I'm shaking inside i feel so weak and dizzy i can't understand why, can this just be anxiety?!
I tried CBT- that didn't work, i stuck with citolpram for 3 months- that didn't work.
This panic/hypercondria state i am living in has come from nowhere, i don't understand why i feel this way.
I feel like dying! 
I feel like I'm dying...
Help I'm 27 and feel like I'm dying everyday.
Dying
