Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I need to know I am not alone. I mean this please for the sake of my sanity please don't tell me you were as bad as if you weren't to make me feel better.
Everyday of my life since my first attack has been a living hell. EVERYDAY, I am not streching this at all. I have the same chest pain in the same spot every single day. It will not go away. All the doc,caridoligists etc etc tell me I am fine.
I walk around feeling like I am going to die all day long, the thinking part isn't what kills me it is how I feel.
I feel like I could just blackout or pass out or have a heart attack at any given moment. Like right now my chest hurts I have palpatations off an on all day long, my right arm hurts, my vision is blurry, it feels like something is in my head.
At work I am a mess, I have anxiety the ENTIRE time I am at work, and when I am at home I just lay on the couch in a ball when I try to get up and do things all my pains come full swing. I just want to function.
Yes I have tried meds and every other thing we are suppose to do so please don't ask. I am not trying to be rude I just need to know that I am not alone. I keep feeling like the doc's are missing something. I can deal with the bad thoughts it is how my body feels all day everyday for the past year that freeks me out.
Most people will have an attack feel sore for the next hour and carry on. I am in a constant state of panic and anxiety with no rest at all. I fear sometimes that I will never get better. I am soo young and I am watching my life pass me by.
I try to keep my head up and stay positive. But it is hard when you feel like death all day long.
I MEAN ALL DAY EVERYDAY :(

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
Have you tried doing some cardio / fitness training? I find that helps re-assure me i have a healthy heart.
Take care and don't be fooled by this powerful illusion anymore.
I also do plenty of weight training on my chest to give the muscles a good stretch. Its tension in these muscles which causes the pain so if you give them a good de-tangling that should help. (Also any pain the next day you know will be down to muscle fatigue and not yr heart!)
PS - Do you eat enough potassium rich foods? I find I get very few funny heart beats and flutters when i'm eating regular bananas and dried apricots.
Take care, y'll be fine :)
I have been to see a CBT therapist who has read my life like a book and ended up telling me things that I didn't even realise about my life.
She has said that this is not an ilness and doesn't need to be treated with drugs as it's just a natural emotion that that I have programmed myself to listen to by previous feelings of guilt and negativety over a long period of time. She said that I can unlearn these emotions just like I learned them.
It's so hard every day, but with her help, I am positive that I will get where I was before in life.
One of her suggestions seems to help. Try saying this out loud to yourself when you have a real bad time with negative/anxious thoughts (I'm saying this all day as my anxiety is there constantly):
"STOP! This outcome is unlikely to happen, so I will CHOOSE not to let it make me feel anxious right now".
I really hope you can overcome and beat the monster, and I' sure you and me both will return to a better state of living.
Go back to your doctor and get different meds, when i was having really having a terrible time they put me on xnax 50mg 3 times a day, it helped tremendously, it helped me to figure out my issues and why i felt so unwell with this.
I did manage to come out at other end.
I know this is awful but please hang in there and go to your doctor.
A freind if you need to talk!
