First, Daisy, NO YOU ARE NOT GOING MAD!!! Believe me, mad people don't know they're mad - that's why they're mad!

Anxiety/depression can cause all sorts of physical symptoms - headaches, muscle aches, tummy problems, you name it!

Would you like to say what treatment your GP has recommended? Are you getting counselling/medication? Do tell us more, love, lots of support on here!

Lots of love

this all sounds like the effects of anxiety and depression. i have my days where i feel im going round the bend but ive found focusing on the thoughts, disecting every feeling and emotion just makes me worse. excepting it to an extend does help. read dr clare weeks book called self help for the nerves. x

If your going mad, then so are the rest of us, like rose said, the mad don't think they're mad.

I felt the same when this demon called anxiety jumped on my back from out of nowhere. It's scary but it won't kill ya.

Be brave, we all help and support each other here so please, when your feeling low, scared, like your alone and nobody understands. Remember us and come here and have a chat.

Love and best wishes xxxx Cookie... I am mad, ask rose. Lol

Hi daisy,

Yes thats anxiety, its totally normal, I know its difficult, but try and be as Unimpressed with any new feeling as possible.

Tell your doctor by all means just to put your mind at rest,

Wish you well
