I have always suffered from anxiety, but only in my 20’s was able to put a name to it. I can control it with diet, exercise and being very open with close friends and family. I have had several serious bouts of anxiety but have managed them all. Recently I have had a couple of health issues that are being dealt with, I don’t yet know how serious they may be. I have a young family and have been reasonably concerned but still coping well. However lately I have started to feel like their is a presence around me. I have started to need a light on at night and am often too scared to get out of bed to use the toilet, waking dh with made up excuses. I don’t have my usual anxiety symptoms but as I am very down to earth I can only think it must be a symptom. Has anyone else ever had similar?
