    Hi Brian,

    You ask: anyone else suffered like this?

    Unfortunately yes, most everybody with bad anxiety suffer like this. I know that might not help, but at least it might offer some comfort in knowing you are most deffo not alone.

    Have you had any help for this? therapy, medication? If not I strongly that you speak to your doc.

    Wishing you all the best!

    Hi Brian,

    I'm sorry to hear you're going through all this as I know it sucks from personal experience.

    I had a bad stint with anxiety/panic disorder about 6 years ago. Panic attacks, constant worry I was suffering with a heart problem (I've had all the tests), strange body sensations everyday and persistent worry. It got to a point where everyday I would go to the hospital after work and just sit on a bench just to feel safer, then eventually head home early hours of the morning to repeat the same process the following day. I thought I was going insane.

    It took me a while to get better, but I got there. I scheduled my days in which I had to complete tasks such as - Meditate, practice learning how to play the guitar, reading, going to the gym and putting myself in situations that would normally trigger my anxiety. I'd ride the feelings and sensations a little longer each time. Eventually I built enough confidence to complete a dream of mine which was to go travelling for 6 months, alone. Upon my return back to the UK, the anxiety felt like a distant memory.

    I know things seem dark now Brian, and you probably feel alone and feel like you're going crazy. But you will get through this, I'm not gonna lie, it's gonna be hard, but at the end of it all you will be a better and stronger person because of it.

    If you want to message me anytime I'm available to talk.

    Jack.
