High Anx Symptoms
Posted , 12 users are following.
Hi all
I thought it might be useful if we could list what happens to us when our various forms of anxiety and depression kick in. Thought it might help to reassure ourselves, and a guide for newcomers?
Ill start off, when my anxiety is high i often feel:
Excessively hot
Skin prickling
Detached
Fearful
Dizzy/Off balance
Nausea - then when eating full very quickly
Need the toilet a lot
Stomach problems
Then if things are really extreme my health anxiety kicks in, then I will think i must have any number of diseases or ailments (which in my head i know i dont!). This is then complicated when the usual anx symptoms kick in - these get associated to whatever it is think i have and so on
Any of this sound familiar to anyone?

Yes, the above list is pretty comprehensive.....all classic symptoms!
Other things I could add are:
Burning skin sensation (like sunburn, but no redness) mostly during the night, which wakes me up.
Butterflies/churning in the stomach
After a prolonged year of anxiety (caused by an outside source) I now get pins and needles in my hands, legs and feet (plus burning on the soles of feet).
Although better from the detachment (depersonalisation) and some of the anxiety (the outside source has been removed) I get very tired, restless nights with weird dreams, However, I am now trying to move forward, having been a lifelong sufferer every few years or so. I do rely on Fluoxetine as a regular med.
Any more symptoms, anyone? I bet there are!
Keep smiling!

The thoughts are horrible and the worrying I quiet agree.
