I am so sorry that you are going through this. There are millions and millions of people who can relate to this, including myself.
I’ve had anxiety since childhood, along with all of the sensations that you talk about.
First, just know that any of those sensations are not harmful when they are related to anxiety.
I completely understand the overwhelming anxiety, panic, not wanting to go anywhere, etc. and it sounds like you already know that the fight or flight and adrenaline response is what is responsible for all of this. Along with negative thoughts. If you haven’t had a complete physical exam within the last year. That would be a good place to start. after that, I would highly recommend that you get some regular counseling. It really helps to put things in perspective and find ways to manage this. Many therapist will counsel virtually so you don’t even have to leave your house.
It’s very important to get support for this.
if you are having her levels of anxiety or panic , go to YouTube, and search for meditations for anxiety. You can also search for meditations for panic or over thinking. They help calm you down. I would say do these at least a couple times a day because they actually helped you change the brain in a positive way.
If you can, get some exercise every day, even if it’s just walking. Exercise releases, good hormones in the brain to help you feel better.
I will send you a private message. And do some long, slow, deep breathing and let go of negative thoughts. Take care.
