    Im exactly the same its horrendous. Im so fed up of feeling ill. Everyday i find a struggle now. I feel lile im trapped in a bubble. I have the neck check and shoulder pain and my head feels like im in water. Ive been told by a few people its either anxiety, a hormone inbalance or fibromyalgia. I still think i have cancer! I cannot understand how anxiety can make u feel so ill all day everyday. Hope u feel better soon peeps xxx

      Steph can you think about this, think about what's happened/ is happening to you....all the different symtoms and the illnesses you think/thought you could have. Then think about all the medical checks you've had. The opinions of the doctors and hospital staff. Now.....on a scale from one  to ten tell me how much you believe you have a serious illness and these symptoms and feelings are NOT anxiety related. Be as rational as you can about it. E.

      8 I believe it so much I just deep down know I have a breakthrough every now and again lasts like 20 seconds the most where I feel well and I get the excited feeling again ect but then it goes and doom takes over like no what are you doing your dying that stays all day until the next 20 second good burst comes and I think that's me trying to belive I'm better but then my body reminding me I'm not I know it sounds crazy and probably doesn't make sense but that is exactly how I feel xx

    Hi Steph how you feeling today love? Had to go to bed last night. Was knackered. These wee short spells you have when you feel better are called glimpsing. What you need to do is build on these. You've heard the phrase "fake it till you make it" . Thats what you're trying to do. Instead of dwelling on the negative try thinking positive. If your brain can do all the bad stuff it can do good too! ACCEPT as best you can what is happening to you any try to carry on telling yourself another phrase "every day in everyway I'm getting better and better" ! I KNOW what you feel is real but If you can accept that's it's not likely to be disease thats causing all these symptoms but anxiety...ie adrenalin ..... any wee steps you take to lessen the adrenaline will help. This will be a really good day for you!!! Agreed???? E.

      I will try my best my brain does not like to accept positive haha but I will try my best I'm out of breathe already today but I'm realising that all my old symtoms are coming back after I had my "traumatic" panic attacks in hospital last year after I was petrified and I started getting unexplained weird symtoms like muscle spasm in my throat ect that makes me feel I can't breathe N sick that's back all of it is so hopefully if I keep telling myself it is stress of everything going on and that I am going to be ok maybe I will have a breakthrough fingers crossed thank you hope your ok today xxx
