Really really struggling with health anxiety
« on: October 04, 2017, 01:12:01 PM »

  I had a good day yesterday so why oh why do I feel so bad today.  It all started with a pain in my left arm and now has progressed to full blown panic. now my chest is sore and i'm very dizzy, I know it's anxiety but it feels so real and scary  :'(. I just feel what's the point living like this, not knowing from one day to the next how i'm  going to feel and how it will effect me. really at the end of my rope and finding it very hard to continue to exist like this. Sorry for the rant but it's a really bad day

I'm not on hrt as I've tried a few with no success. Started magnesium today so fingers crossed this will help x

Not too bad today Sparkle, That's just it, fine one day bad the next then fine again, If I knew I would just have a bad week every four or so I think I could cope better. But  i'm up showered and am going to go to shopping centre for some retail therapy. I probably wont make it past the shop doors but I feel well enough to at least try at the moment. Will report back later, hopefully after a good days shopping and no meltdown  :lol:

Well I made it.  :banana: I went to shopping centre, took half hour to find parking space, nearly gave up but didn't. Now I only went to one large store but I even managed to but a few bits, I  know it sounds silly but I'm delighted with myself.    Who knows tomorrow may be a bad day again, but for today I'll be happy.

True Sparkle, it's the little things that make us happy. Day two of magnesium and so far no nasty side effects, so fingers crossed it will be of help

Hello Yammy1.

I just wanted to send hugs. The jittery feelings are the pits I know and they shred your confidence.

I hope you feel better soon, you are not alone.

Take care.

K.

Thank you both for your well wishes. Not feeling too bad now just tired, this anxiety really is exhausting but I didn't have a melt down I just need an early night and hopefully tomorrow will be a good day 💕
