      I've read lots of your posts, Emily, and you spend a lot of time comforting others. I'm sad that you don't have much support, but at least you care enough to come on to this site and help other people. It WILL get better. Mine took three years out of my life. Love Tess

      Thank you! And I feel like just telling people that I have the same symptoms would make them feel better cause I know that it makes me feel better when I see other people fee exactly the same way it reassures me that it's anxiety just like everyone else

      That makes a lot of sense. I didn't realise how many people were going through this until I started looking at the Anxiety forum. Keep going, Emily. I believe that you can not only make a huge difference in other people's lives but you will also start to feel better yourself. Please keep in touch. If I can help you, I will. Love Tess

    Hi. Yes, there are MANY people with you. You are not alone, especially not on tis forum where we all try to help one another.

    Severe anxiety disorder is very difficult to endure and usually takes ages to get better. You've had lots of tests, all of which are normal, and now you're wondering if they missed something.

    The numbness you describe is extremely common in highly anxious people. You could, of course, go to your doctor, but I'd ne surprised if they said anything other than this is all anxiety. With therapy, medication and sticking with this forum, you will beat this horrible affliction. Love Tess
