Feeing really anxious/nervous

[MugTreeSpoonFace]

And I don't for the life of me know why!

I feel really really worried/anxious/nervous. My hands are shaking, my neck feels tense my stomach is in a knot and I have absolutly no idea why! it's horrible

could be a panic attack...

breathe slowly and deeply. cose your eyes if you want... just focus on breathing in and out... and think nice things

Had a bad day? Are you tired? Have a glass of wine?

Where are you? Reaction to yesterday? I have felt v anxious on and off today.

OK Sl's advice is probably better for you than mine! I have this MTSF on ocassion, find the breathing (and the wine!) helps as does trying to focus on what may be worrying upsetting me...

Never had a panic attack before but imagine they would be much more definite than this.

Not had a bad day, there's absolutely nothing I can think of to trigger this.

It's like the nervousness you get before a really big event.. wedding, important job interview, speech in front a large number of people. That kind of feeling. Tried to lie down but head is pounding

My panic attacks aren't huge, I feel like omeone is gripping my throatand yes, that job interviewfeeling.

Really? I always imagined them being some huge event - not being able to breathe etc

I feel like I did the day I thought dp and I were over for good - it's that shocked, unable to speak/cry feeling just numb sick feeling.

Yep those are mine MTSF! I didn't think that was what it was either till dr told me. Darkened room helps too sometimes.

Sorry just had to go to the loo iykwim (sorry if tmi) but it's all that kind of feeling

I've been exhausted all week (have overslept every day) I realised the other day I'd only had about 3 days off work all year so I'm looking forward to a week off in August.

Hopefully it's just a one off as I'm a bit run down and tired.

I didn't realise this sort of feeling would be a panic attack. It's not very nice - do you get them often?

I'm going to go and have a bit of a lie down. thanks guys x

I get the nervous/anxious feeling too. I now know that they occur when my heart is going to fast or I am having palpatations. They are not panic attacks as such for me. I have tachycardia (fast heart rate) and it is that that causes it.

Just wanted to say thanks. Felt fine again this morning.

Had a massive row with dp in the middle of the night and locked him out. As a result I ended up taking dd on an impromptu trip to the seaside, it was her first ever visit to the seaside but we both had a really fab day. Very tired now though.

Thanks again!
