Finding it hard

I feel the same way George... That's part of this disorder . No matter how many tests they do we have a hard time believing them and accepting this. I'm struggling today really bad.

Dont think that way mate trust me u dont want to only make your anxiety worse  the drs will be right dont work your self up im in same boat as u pal I hate it dont dwell  on it let me know how you get on if your new to it its crazy it  just  mind over matter try to look on bright side be active that will keep your mind off it talk to some one it helps you will get symptoms but it all the anxiety dont go on meds it might ease it off but it wont go away ask your dr to refer you to physcological therapy  

I get the same thoughts and  nave been to so many doctors and had tests that have come back OK.Even now I still think that I am seriously ill,although ALL my symptoms are that of anxiety disorder.I really sympathise with you as it is a dreadful way to feel.

Dear George

My experience of talking to other sufferers (of anxiety) leads me to believe that EVERYBODY who has an anxiety disorder thinks that they are dying or terminally ill or going mad at some time or other. We are hyper-vigilant of our bodies because we are always anticipating an anxiety attack. We pick up on any little change in the body and then it gets exagerrated out of all proportion. This is part of the problem. I would bet good money that there is nothing wrong with you. You have anxiety, that's all (and that's enough). In an anxiety disorder our body is screaming at us that something is terribly wrong. There isn't. There is nothing wrong with you. You will be OK. By dwelling and ruminating on what might be wrong with us we create more anxiety which keeps the anxiety going. It's a catch-22. Dont bother trying to figure out what is wrong with you. As Paul says, keep busy and focus on practical things. Do things, rather than think. Keep occupied. The less you think about it, the quicker it will go away. best wishes, Athol.

ps. that doesn't mean we shouldn't get checked out by GP if we think we have a symptom. But do it for reassurance. If you dont believe your GP, get a second opinion.

Hi all

I am Josh 23 year old male.

I can't tell you how reassuring this is to read 

After being diagnosed with stress and anxiety a month ago I have experienced nearly all those symptoms 

Even today I think im going to die 

Every time I feel one tiny change in my body I think oh god what was that, am I having a heart attack or a stroke 

Obviously thid makes it worse .

However after researching my illness I came across 2 supplements that help calm me right down and that is co enzyme q10 and magnesium 

Co enzymes help relieve stress and keep me relaxed 

The magnesium releases any muscle tension so I get less pains. 

I am also takinh propranolol to help with any palpitations 

Don't get me wrong I still struggle with it but I do find the supplements are helping a lot 

Please share some of your help with us all if you have any experiences that help.

Thanks

Josh
