Hello, I found nomorepanic through Googling my symptoms which I know very well is not something I should be doing. I read quite a few posts on here of people with similar symptoms and thought I would join and that I could post here instead of Googling.
My name is Clare, I'm twenty-something.
In the past many weeks I've been feeling not myself. It started with leg cramps then a numb feeling in my arm and throat. I've been to the doctors more times these past weeks than I have my entire life. I finally told one doctor about my grandmothers death and he diagnosed me with anxiety/stress.
At the moment I have a numb/weak feeling in my left arm and my neck/throat on the left side feels tight. These are my main symptoms which get better or worse but never go away. I keep freaking out and worrying that it's not really anxiety but something worse and I'll stare at my arm thinking that I'll see something. My breathing isn't too good but it's mental as I can breathe fine. The last of my list is that I feel the need to cry for no reason.
I just desperately want to be myself again. I feel weak and useless. It's one thing being told by my mother to get up and do something but it is another thing completely to over come these symptoms and get back into the real world.
Sorry that was a lot but once I started typing I couldn't stop.
If you've read this, thank you for listening.
