Hi everyone. I've posted a load of times on this page but now i'm just gonna post the whole story of everything mainly to get it off my chest and to see if anyone has advice. I apologise for the long message.
I first got my anxiety after a night out on halloween, I had been a daily weed smoker for about 2.5 years, it was alot too. After my first panic attack i decided to give up cannabis cold turkey as it was ruining me. I now havent touched the stuff in over a year.
My anxiety was terrible for months after quitting with panic attacks everyday, and two and a half months off work. It eased off after a few months and became what i'd call as my normal anxiety state, still had horrible health anxiety but I was loads better than before.
My symptoms included, well, everything. From chest pains to derealsation to vision problems to dizziness.
A year later now and im getting sick and tired of the same feelings everyday, i wake up just feeling weird, i will have some sort of warm sensation somewhere along a pain/ache down my arm. Or head pressure and diziness it could be anything. Most days i have a feeling im about to drop down dead.
Ive tried everything i possibly can to get out of this (other than medication as i believe it will really not agree with me). I have changed my job, got a girlfriend, tried changing the way i think about things etc but nothing has fully worked for me.
I recently realised i have depression too, which is just another thing keeping me down.
Its all getting too much for me. Im only 22 and i dont want to be battling these things for the rest of my life. Theres only so much of the same stuff you can handle.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I really appreciate it.

I have the same feelings every day I can't sleep at night and wake up breathless I'm really anxious throughout the day and think I'm just going to drop dead at any minute it's really scary and anoyying when the feeling won't go away. Alls I can say is try and think positive and breath it works a little.

I got blood tests, ECG and chest xray maybe about 6 months ago and all came back fine, i even check my blood pressure at home and its usually dead on perfect too. I cant help but think something has came up since I was last checked though, or maybe somewhere they didnt check such as my head.
Its annoying because i had about a month of feeling alot better but not completely fine, but all it takes is one thing to throw you off and you're back at the bottom again you know?
Thank you though, I am doing my best

It took 3 years for mine to be diagnosed I had chest x-rays MRI blood tests every scan you can have because of all the physical symptoms I get eventually it was my GP that got it I've been on every medication going nothing worked I found distractions helped me just put my headphones on and kinda zone out it gives me something else to concentrate on other than what's going on I've had it for 13 years now and I still have my moments

After 13 years is it still really noticable or has alot of it subsided?
