I have been dealing with some stress lately. It has been going on for almost a year. I amnot on meds for anxiety or fibro, I am waiting to hear back from the dr on that one. I have been feeling like parts of my body are tingly or numb. I have color and they are warm to the touch. I also am getting dizzy and I have been having some bad anxiety attacks. I have been dealing with it for awhile. I am so tired of it but I am scared to go in.
Please help me talk myself into it.

If you have regular family doctor you may want to go and tell him or her what your going through. If this is new feeling and physical feelings your having it may be situational and go away. Don't ignore what your mind is doing and your body is physically responding to. I take medication but some people find that just going for a walk...or doing something to get their mind off it helps. Take a nice warm bath. But know that you are not alone. I have to say that this sight has been so helpful to me the people I talk to and give suggestions to me are so kind. I am so thankful that you found this sight and I hope you keep asking questions and I know people will respond. Good luck too you.
