Do your anxiety symptoms last for days/weeks?

Posted , 224 users are following.

My physical symptoms of anxiety seem to never go away 😟 does anyone else have the same thing and is this normal? I'm sick of it and because it's always here I think there definately is something wrong with me! It's horrible living like this.

Also, when you start to obsess with one symptom (me chest pain mainly breast) I feel like it's actually something serious and its like I'm seeing more symptoms of it being serious. It's hard to describe but if you obsess that much always lookin etc if it possibly for you to make up new physical symptoms in your head?? I'm making myself go mad. Want my pain to

Go away and it won't which makes me more anxious.

Thanks for reading, Nicola xx

    Hi Nicola

    I see that your posting is over a year ago now but as I am going through exactly the same symptoms at the moment. Thought I would see if you improved with time. These feelings are really dreadful and don.t know how long I can put up with them,

    Regards Jean

    i had an anxiety attack last wknd ,felt so overwhelmed 8 hrs into it i didnt know what was happeneing, was completely fixated on a girl i used be meeting i knew der was someting up as i hadnt seen or spoke to her in years. i found speaking to a friend who had went thru something similar and talking it thru helped calm me down. Had to go to my G.P. the folowing morning he prescribed anti depressants and got me 2 see a counsellor, slowly figuring things out turns out i had a similar attack about 7 yrs ago the last time i saw this girl at the time i thot it was something everyone went thru after losing someone they cared about actually dont know how i got thru the last one as this i just the most awful feeling ever.The tablets have helped level me out i was fearful of being numbed out by them but they have helped me focus and i can figure things in my own head. Lastest attack was was brought on when someone mentioned this girl had been in my area again recently but have since realised it is something i have struggled wit all my life

    I conquered anxiety with scripture and reading it out loud. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. And I kept telling myself that I should not be afraid cause God is with me.

    God is the source of our conscience. He is always with us. All we have to do is call upon Him, and believe He will give us peace.

    There is a book called Jesus Calling written by missionary Sarah Young. It's amazing. It's also a great combat for anxiety.

    ....

    Or maybe I said that backwards? I suppose I should have said in the previous comment that it is 'great for combating anxiety'. Or maybe there isn't a difference. But either way you probably knew what I meant.

    ...

    And by that I mean, maybe the wording actually doesn't make a difference in how what I wrote was interpreted. I think maybe I could be overthinking it, which is why I'm a complete genius and as such in the past was forced to overthink things exceedingly which resulted in my having to overcome anxiety as a result.

    We just need a edit button for geniuses like me.

    Hi i know im late to this discussion but im afraid as im new

    To the anxiety attacks i was diagnosed about 2 days ago and dealing with it for a week, my doctor believed it was side effects from steroids that were given to be due to shortness of breath, i stopped that as the doctor told me but its been well over a week but my anxiety stems alot at night like 4am-5am lasting hours on hours like 5 maybe 6 hours till it wares off and then im just tiered, i was always able to deal.my issues on hand not really sure what caused this, does anyone have any thoughts on why i get this at night causing me to loose sleep and just worrying on how i can get back to sleep, im not on any medication as i wanna try and do the talk and learing behavior help, the anxiety almost makes me feel like im loosing my mind it seems like my focus is this anxiety

    For people who are new to freaking out and getting worked up, the greatest piece of advice that I could possibly give is to relax and stop worrying. I had severe chest pains where my heart is and I thought that I was going to have a heart attack at any given moment and die. No matter what you think, no matter how you feel, you're not going to die, TRUST ME!!! Every day will get easier and easier. My panic attacks came from smoking too much weed. I used to be scared of sleeping at night as I used to think that I would never wake up, But guess what, I always did. I'm able to laugh now at how worked up my brain got over stupid little things. Even though you may disagree but anxiety is always mind over matter. Distract yourself by watching a film, reading a book, playing a game or even PRAY IF YOU HAVE TO. Anything that takes your mind off it, do it. It won't last forever I promise. I've been on a walk today up a few hills and trekked through a huge forrest and admittedly I got a bit panicky but I relaxed, ate some food and a few hours later it went away. If you have any questions about anything please ask, don't be embarassed. I will reply straight away. Thanks for reading.

      Hi Alvin, sorry for the late reply. I didnt actually think anyone would read my advice. The biggest piece of advice that I can give you is to wait it out, I know it sounds like the worst way to get over it but its the only way. Also, this is the most important thing that I could possibly say, DONT SMOKE WEED AGAIN.  after I got over my anxiety I had realised that I was living normally again and after about a week I got straight back on the weed, and a hell of a lot of it aswell. I noticed that I still felt the stoned sensations in my brain even for the days after I had smoked, at first I thought it was just still in my system but its been 2 weeks now since ive smoked and my anxiety came back. I couldnt believe it, no matter how much you may want to smoke it again, try your best not to because all of your panics will come back, believe me mate. If you want to ask me anything, ill try to answer as I knew that when I was going through this all I wanted was someone to relate to. Hopefully, you've got over your anxiety now but if you havent, remember, it doesn't last forever.

      Thanks for the reply mason. I got a lot better so far. I still have a couple of symptoms like shortness of breath and a lil heart palpatations now and then, but im definitely not going back that route with weed again. I beat it before i can beat it again
