Hi all
I'm really suffering at the moment and the logical side of my brain has clearly gone to sleep.
I'm not stressed other than about the way I feel, well not much, yet I'm having lots of the feelings that I had around the beginning of the year.
Since Monday my head has been unbearably painful. It comes on really suddenly and gets so tight over the top and in my forehead. It feels like I have an elephant sitting on there and my scalp feels like it's burning at times. I've also been having shooting burning feelings too.
Yesterday I completely lost it in John Lewis, my stomach was upset, I couldn't see properly, had the head stuff, was hot, you name it really. It lasted for an hour and a quarter at peak intensity and then just left the head pain behind and legs that were so weak they felt like they would collapse. It was a bit like when you've got low blood sugar but lasted even after I'd eaten.Then it came on again as I went to bed.
I guess I want to hear that I'm not the only one who has felt like this and that I'm just being kicked by the anxiety bear again. I wouldn't mind if I got a proper break in between. I hated feeling like i was just going to die there and then again. I never thought I'd be so afraid again and boy did I try and tell myself it was just anixety etc but nothing seemed to help.
I don't want to go back to being too afraid to do anything because I feel so bad. It's not like it comes on in stressful situation, it just comes on and I can't even find any thought triggers.
