Anxiety I'm so arseing sick of it

[SnozBuriedUnderThePatio]

I have another thread atm about my current anxious problem, waiting for dry socket to appear. But I just want to rant about anxiety.

I am sick of not being able to cope with anything and feeling like my body is an enemy. I miss the days where my leg could fall off and I'd pick it up and ignore it. I am on high alert all the time checking for symptoms and if I don''t currently have any then my anxiety starts scanning my memory for that time in 2004 when I had an unusual headache and therefore I will probably soon die. Or it invents symptoms of it's own.

When something real happens then I just implode I cannot cope. Things which other people find inconsequential or just suck up and deal with. When did I get so pathetic. I've been shaking with a racing heart and hot flushes for about 2 hours because of a problem which hasn't even happened yet.

If you read this pity oarty then thank you for listening.

wd it help you to wear a head set and listen to music? I find i can interupt anxious thoughts this way. Also going outside and walking or bicycling around helps. Plus i talk to myself and give myself instructions e.g. assume the+ve not the -ve. For my heart racing a dr told me to stroke my carotid artery and this does work for me. when i have a bad headache i ask myself why do i have it and weirdly that works. Drinking water seems to help with headaches too.

Feeling your pain SnozBuriedUnderThe Patio,

I have had awful anxiety for around two weeks now, came out of the blue after my son birthday party when I had a massive Panic attack and its has been snowballing ever since :/

Today I took the decision to go back on meds, I have had them before and they were a massive help. Hoping its going to be the same this time around :)

This is not a pity party.
You are not pathetic.
I posted on your other thread.
Hoping the pills help. Any chance of talking to someone to develop coping mechanisms?
