Anxiety with magical powers
Posted , 3 users are following.
Anxiety is so much more than worry.
Its been over a year since my life is occupied with crippling anxiety. I am stuck. I have all kinds of scary and powerful physical symptoms, daily intense anxiety attacks and racing and intrusive thoughts all day long. I thought there is something wrong with me and I must be sick at the beginning. Cancer, heart issues, stroke, etc. Now, my brain wants me to believe, that I must die from heart attack any time soon from all that stress and anxiety. I lost my comfort zone of home and I feel it always on back of my mind. I do not take any medications. I go to work. I do have a therapist couple of months now. But I am so tired. And scared all the time. I am so done with coping and ready to start some healing.
Do you have any lessons for me how to stop falling for my symptoms and intrusive thoughts?
