I am really struggling with life the past 5 years I've been told I have severe anxiety but it doesn't feel like it every day I have a huge headache where it literally feels like I can't move I will get pains all over my body sharp shooting pains no interest or wanting to drink or eat i can't even step foot out of the house without having the worst panic attack and heart palpitations I feel like something has taken over my body i can't do anything anymore but lay in my bed I'm even scared to go to the toilet now in case I collapse on the way im absolutely petrified to do anything or feel anything this isn't a way to live I've been to the Dr's for countless tests and they've all come back OK I can't do it anymore please tell me I'm not the only one I wanna be me again

    I always felt like i was dying. It turns out i do have medical problems but im not going to die. I get chest pain for no reason but it has something to do with the nerves in my chest. Are you on any anti anxiety meds? I find that my klonopin along with watching one of my favorite tv shows helps me a lot. You habe to find something you like a lot and use that as a tool.

    Have you tried vigorous daily exercise, i.e. jogging. This can have remarkable effects on anxiety.

    Hi there this is going to sound crazy but you need to control your anxiety because right now anxiety is controlling you so do what you can in bed first notice your breathing is it slow or fast do some breathing exercises then take slow steady steps it's like retraining your mind and body anxiety will not kill you worrying about it will make your life a living hell

    I’m the same, I try and go to work, I last 10 minutes, I get in the shower and I start panicking incase something happens to me, I go out of my comfort zone (my bed) and I’m just a total mess, it’s the worst thing to live with but everyone’s said it’s going to get better so I guess I’ve just got to believe them, although it doesn’t feel like it’s getting any better. I’m here if you need reassurance or support. We can do this x

      I think that’s the way I’m going, but then money will become a worry, life’s so cruel! I hope you get better soon and like I said I’m only a message away!💖

    I'm also going through the same think everyday feels like is my last, I can't even do anything exciting with my kids or fiancé than my mind is already telling me there's no need in doing it cause you're in your last days anyway, I can't live like this anymore. I don't look forward to anything anymore.

      hey, i'm still struggling in the healing process but it does get better, the healing process isn't a straight line, some days you feel back at the start but it does get easier to deal with. i'm getting better and i'm definitely not as numb and panicky as i were when i wrote this but still get anxiety attacks and the panicky out of body feelings, i regularly get the feeling i'm not real and feel like im in a video game like gta and it's gross but like said, i'm still healing, i've been through some pretty traumatic, scary things, and mentally i'm exhausted but im getting there, i wish you all the best on your healing process and hope yours doesn't take a lot of time like mine and you feel better soon x
