ANXIETY ?

Its funny when the sun shines like it has today, it was lovely to see , but hard to be a part of. Nobody sees anxiety you just wish you could be like everyone else. I hate having to force myself to do things xx

hi Claire hows your day been today, mines not been good really not eaten either which isn't good x

Oh dear sorry to hear that lesley, at the moment my husband and i are on hols from our jobs at the school. which is always a bonus, went out for a while this pm, but always with horrible thoughts. It feels like such a struggle . Out of interest do you take any medication for your anxiety xx

hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. I'm 21 and have had anxiety since before I can remember. My first major panic attack was at 12 and I thought I was dying. Since then I've had three big anxiety filled times - when I was 17 and finishing school, 19 starting uni and now at 21, finishing uni.. I guess I don't do well with transitions!! Anyway, my stomach has always been a tyrant when it comes to my anxiety. With all my other episodes before this, it was IBS-D.. literally every day for about two hours. Eventually it simmered own after I got on lexapro. Now it is in the form of heart palpitations and upper GI tract issues like reflux and pain in my .. wind pipe? It's all the way down my front anyway. I really am not dealing well with this. Am being referred to a cardiologist to make sure it's not serious but have been waiting three months just for a referral letter. Oh well, I came here to talk to people like myself so Hi!

morning , no Claire don't take meds, cant bring myself to take them xx

Hi JooneBug

How are you my love Welcome anxiety sucks doesn't it. You are to young to suffer like this my heart goes out to you, i hope you will find some comfort from us on this site xx

Hi lesley

How are you today ? Perhaps you could try and eat a little something .. lots of love and hugs xx

Hi Claire,

its been an ok day I suppose better than yesterday, I know this sounds weird but iv got it in my head that if I eat my panic attacks get worse, I did try this morning and I immediately felt odd.

Thanks for your concern, hows your day been xxxxxxxx

Aww bless,

see that's anxiety playing with your mind so cruel, have you considered seeing your GP you can't carry on not eating love. Are you drinking? My day has been up and down as usual, horrible thoughts on and off . hope you have a good night xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
