You are so right to stay off the net to find solutions, it will only make you worse. I have the same feelings and find it haed to deal with. My friends and family also say "silly" things like "it will all be fine" or " dont worry about it". This never helps. Try to explain to them that unless they are in your shoes then its very had for anyone to understand what you going through. You ARE a strong person, just keep telling yourself that. You are not alone. I've bean dealing with it for about ayear since i was attacked by my husband and my sitaution is getting worse as he is getting out next month and my family say stupid things like " he wont get near you, ever", they arnt going to be there 24/7. Others dont understand at all. Are you on any medication? I didnt want to go on anything at first but i'm on the mildest antidepresant and its done a world of good. Talk to your GP. Keep strong... you are strong at heart. x julia

I've been dealing with anxiety since I had a major attack the last week in 2015. Since then I've experienced almost every symtom but the health anxiety is the absolute worst! I don't feel anxious alot these days and for a week I actually felt normal again. Now my left elbow joint hurts when I move or turn my arm a certain way. I don't want my hypochondria to act up again.
Could it be that anxiety symtoms come back whenever? Also I've started having horrible dreams n grinding my teeth at night again. I'm not on any meds.

The physical pains can come and go randomly. I was put on citalopram (20mg) quite a while ago and they seem to take the edge off most of the anxiety side effects. I had my first counciling session today and she decribed anxiety a really good way and it has made me understand myself a bit more...so here it goes.... Think of a thermometer, the average person gets out of bed and they'r on 20. We get up and were automaticaly on 60 or above. so when the average person gets a little wound up they get to 40/50 and we go to 80/90 and theres not much else room for anything else. (it made sence to me) So try and guage what you are on the level and try to control it. Like I said before try your gp. stay strong. x
