Hi Jen, I too have had my share of trips to the docs office. Every blood test in the world, heart check ups, eye check ups, ear check ups, etc. All came back fine. I've been suffering from Anxiety for a long time. My symptoms were at their worst a year ago. I had extreme fatique, severe night sweats, dizzyness, shakes, wieght loss, eye trouble(seeing floaters and spots) Those still aren't gone, trouble catching my breath, nauseau, I too was afraid to go to bed at night because that's when my symptoms would get worse. Why are you afraid to go to bed at night? I've been on Zoloft for over a year now and the severity of the symptoms have decreased greatly. I still feel them, but it's not completely ruining my life, and I even have some days where I feel normal. I can relate to your frustration, and sympathize. It's no way to live. What other symptoms do you have? Bye the way, I'm Shannon, 30year old male. Nice to meet ya :)

i'm sorry, all those crazy faces did make me laugh. lol, but i understand exactly what you mean.. i have given up on the ER becauyse i use to go all the time, now i feel like they dont listen to me anyway.. i do go to the dr. alot. i email my doc everyday with some suggestion about wha ti could have... or what test i need now.. i do know exactly how you feel. feeling like, maybe other anxiety sufferers dont have ALL the symptoms you have, EXACTLY how you feel them. right now i'm dealing with heart palps and chest pains and weird breathing and i feel like nobody has ever been this bad. it must be heart failure for sure.. i use to feel the head stuff alot. i hated going to bed because when i would start to drift off, i would get like a surge of pressure in my head, i'd feel all spaced out, like i was gonna pass out,, just tons of weird stuff. i know it is hard to accept that it is JUST anxiety doing this to our bodies.. but, i think it is.. BELIVE me, i have soooo many symptoms, 24/7.. i know how you feel..... amanda

wow mr. shannon, we were posting at the same time.. hehe..

you have hypochondria, thats a very normal symptom of anxiety, stress, and especially OCD

(( the deifnition of hypochondira is a person who is constantly preoccupied iwth health, haveng unrelalalistic fears, and is not comferted by tests or docters. ))

the best thing to do for this is DONT look up aything medical related unless your told to by your docter, have a regular physical once a month to ease your mind, and relax.

thats the most important; you can try massage tehrapy, aromatherapy, herbs, or even meds if need be. just whatever it takes to relax you :) let me enphasie; please try other methods of relaxing before trying meds

make sure you eat a balanced diet, and excersize, and try takeinga good multivitimin (that helps anxiety alot more than youd thing)



alot of peopel feel like you, your anything but alone <3

LOL, I've noticed that people on the anxiety board tend to respond quicker than any other board. LMAO, Coincidence? OCD is fun :)

Thank you so much for writing to me I really need someone to talk too!!!!
Please write back :wave: Jen

HI Jen, glad to hear back from you. I'm 30. No family of my own. Single. I had a spinal tap about 5 years ago. I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict. The spinal tap was when I overdosed and spent 3 weeks in ICU. They did it to see if there was any other drugs in my system that they couldn't identify. I've been sober and clean now for 5 1/2 years. I've been struggling with severe anxiety for about 3 years now. I symptoms are many. I do see trails, they're more like floaters that are constantly in my vision. They look like dark music notes or something like that. LOL. Sometimes I think things are moving when they aren't, and sometimes I see things that aren't there. I'm just trying to learn acceptance. I've been diagnosed with GAD and I am a Hypochondriac. (constantly worried about my health, regardless of Doctors reassurance). It's been a tough struggle. I got sober to live a fullfilling, happy, serene life, and, to be quite honest, it hasn't been a bed of roses. But I believe it's worth it, and have hope that one day I will be free from this anxiety "plague". Do you get fatiqued alot? Do you feel like your legs and arms are weak? Do you have any kind of faith in a Higher Power?
Hope to hear back from you. I'd like to chat back and forth. I'll put you on my prayer list. Hope all is well, God Bless. ........shannon :)

Hi Shannon,
Wow we have alot of the same things.Yes I feel very fatiqued I feel like I can't balance very well dissy legs,arms always weak.When I take a shower I feel I need to hang on to something.I't is hard for me to open container I feel so weak.My vision is so bad trails very scary sometimes double vision lots of floaters too!I just can't stop thinking about I'm going to die and the doctor's aren't listening.I just need to accept that it is all in my head.But I can't I have been healthly all my life and now I feel like I'm 60.where does this come from?I do have alot of stress in my life my husband and I are very close to getting a divorce he is on drugs always yelling and it is all about him!!!He is not there for me.He won't leave he drinks every night I tried to help him to but he doesn't want it he says he doesn't have a problem and that he is not doing drugs anymore and he won't get help because he doesn't have time!

I'll be waiting to here from you soon :wave: Jen

I know exactly how you feel. I think I am dying constantly. I feel the need to run to the ER at almost every moment. Many times through out the day. Mostly I have chest pains, shortness of breath, left arm dull ache/pain, neck pain, back pain (mostly shoulders), dizzyness, a weird vibrating feeling in my chest, feel like I'm going to explode...I've been to the hospital I don't know how many times in the past 6 years and everything has always been fine, yet I still can't calm myself down when I get this way. It's very hard to go through.

Oh wow Jen, I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. That is very stressfull. No wonder you're not feeling well. When I was drinking I destroyed my relationships, especially romantic ones. Sometimes I believe that the person living with or being with the alcoholic gets hurt emotionally much more than the alcoholic does. Have you heard of any support groups for people in your situation? Al-Anon is wonderful. You should go to your local church of even the Town Hall and get a local listing of Alanon meetings in your area. I swear to you, that program will change your life if you let it. As for me, I'm in Massachussetts. It's like 5 degrees today LOL. The cold doesn't help with my symptoms either. The reason I asked if you had faith in God is because I do. And, I too, have been struggling with my relationship with him. I have a little anger that I feel this way, especially for this long. It's hard. I feel alone, like no one can relate to what I'm going through. But I do believe with all my heart that there's a plan and a reason why I'm going through this, and why God is "letting" me go through this. Pain is the touchstone to ALL spiritual growth. Pain isn't "bad", when there's pain, there's a reason for it. It's teacher, and a motivator, and a strengthener. Without pain, we might never grow or change, because we'd so content where we were at that we wouldn't make any effort to change.........As for you family situation, my heart goes out to you. It might be time for you to take a serious look at your life, (as I am doing) and just ask you "heart" what you should do. It always knows.
And I always find that whatever I'm struggling with today, usually has something to do with my past. An unresolved issue from the past can create havoc in our present day lives...........Tell me a little about your past, if you don't mind. I have many issues from my past that remain unresolved and unfelt. Buried deep inside me. But one by one, they come to the surface and I recognize them and work on them. Have you tried any kind of therapy?
I'm sorry you are so down, You are on my "everynight" prayer list now :) Write back soon.......God Bless.........Shannon.
