Crippling anxiety.
Had a close family member in hospital and I think the worry, lack of sleep and stress has triggered my anxiety.
He’s out and has a fairly good prognosis so thought I’d be feeling better now, but no.
Not had it like this for about 5 years.
I can’t stop sighing and huffing and puffing as I feel so so bad.
There’s a knot in my stomach. Like I feel guilty and have a feeling of dread.
I can’t eat or sleep, getting about 2 hours a night and cannot face leaving the house and having to talk to people.
My heart keeps pumping so loud I can see and hear it in my chest.
I can’t concentrate and my head is full of cotton wool.
Phoned in sick for work this week as I can’t face it.
I’ve tried to talk to a couple of ppl but they don’t get it.
They keep saying family member is home now so I should relax, but I can’t. I really can’t.
