I'm finally at breaking point.. It's gotten so bad that I've been left bed ridden, I have headaches and pressure in my eyes and face that the pain is unbearable, my eyes are so and puffy, I have a horrible cough horrible sore dry throat horrible ear pain and neck pain horrible chest pain I'm weak and tired haven't slept in 3 days my body aches I feel sick I'm constantly in pain I've been to the docs and it's all my anxiety that's causing this! ANXIETY IS A C*** I hate it so so much I've been started on meds so hopefully that will help, I just don't know how much longer I can cope with this pain

    Sounds more like flu symptoms. If GP says anxiety I'd go with his diagnosis and take the meds.

    it'll go away with time. the more you believe it will go, the faster it goes. just stick to what doc says.
