HELP 😢

Hey I know how u feel I get all the effects of anxiety and feel like I'm dieing too.. I've had every test possible to rule things out Mri of brain, blood work for everything cat scan, xrays, ultrasounds u name it I did it. The feelings your getting are precise symtoms of anxiety panic attacks.. its very unlikely at 20 years old you have something wrong with ur brain..anxiety creates fear n anxiety creates really scary physicals symtoms like your definitely dieing.. but your not..have u been to the doctors about maybe getting on some medication, or cbt with a therapist, mindfull excerise n coping skill, also guided mediation on YouTube will get u out of your irrational thoughts.. I know what your going thru I've lived it my whole life.. and I'm still learning about it..just keep in mind you can control anxiety by the way you think.. when a thought comes thru your head let it pass you by.. thoughts are not facts remember that.. you are the only one that can let yourself be effected by your thoughts.. n it's very difficult to do I know.. bc the physical symtoms seem so scary.. I'm here always if you need to talk.. I hope this helpped... also if your breathing patterns are off like shortness of breathe u could be giving yourself other symtoms like headaches also stress from worrying about things can give u headaches..

I just copy and paste the reply I gave to another member of this forum- Sorry you are feeling so bad, hope this helps. ;-)

Find a nice relaxing CD avaiilable free on the internet and do these 4-7-8 Breathing Exercise.  Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four. Hold your breath for a count of seven. Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound for a count of 8.  Now, you do all this using your stomach ( not your chest)  You can sit or lay completely back on the floor and put one hand on your stomach to make sure the air is coming and going from the stomach.  Repeat this 4-8 times each time and you can do it twice daily or every 3 hours which ever makes you feel better.

Michaela, u have to get some medical help. I know the feeling and my symptoms are worse than yours. I have these spasms and cramping when I'm trying to fall asleep or during sleep. It's every night or when I nap. I'm going to a neurologist and see what they day. It's so hard living this way. I know the feeling.

By the way, I love your name😄

All you are experiencing is anxiety. Everything shortness of breath pain.All of it.Sounds like health anxiety and your confusing anxiety with something being medically wrong.Very often anxiety can just come out of nowhere with nothing really triggering it.That's what tricks you into thinking I must be ill.Anxiety is horrible but it can't kill you. I no how scared your feeling it's really scary but you will calm down.Try keep busy even if it's the last thing you want todo. Tell yourself I am ok. Distraction helps and as the symtins decrease you will think more rationally and it will decrease more.Try ignore all the scary thoughts. Let them come but say the anxiety is making me irrational so I am not taking notice.I no how scared you are feeling that's what anxiety is fear of uncertainty. What if I die. What if I never feel better. What if I lose my Job. What if I have a break down.It is horrible but the cycle of scary trouts keep it going. You will get there !!

You can breathe, you were able to type this.  Sounds like anxiety.  These are normal symptoms of anxiety.  We hyperventilated  when suffering panic attacks/anxiety.  Take deep breaths.  Find quiet place no distractions, Sit down/or lay down, close your eyesput one hand on your chest the other on your belly.  Take a deep breath in your nose, feel for you hand on belly to rise.  Release air slowly through you lungs. Repeat.  Repeat until you feel more relaxed.  If you out and about and feel your short of breath find a place to do the same.  It works trust me.
