I have never thought I had any kind of social anxiety etc, as I have always been quite relaxed around people and have always positively enjoyed that part of my job which involves standing up in front of a room full of people and talking.
I have felt unwell, anxious and just awful for weeks, but felt much better yesterday and again today up until late morning, when I started to feel a bit breathless and dizzy.
I had to go to a lunch meeting with about 50 other folk, most of whom I know well, and this is pretty much a weekly meeting, so I had not reason to feel anxious about it, and didn't think I was.
Anyway I got there, but by about 1.50pm I was really starting to feel pretty rubbish again.
I am now back in my office and still feeling a bit anxious about starting to feel unwell again, but am better than I was.
Could it be that I was anxious about my lunch meeting without realising that I was anxious (if that makes any sense at all!) and it was this that made me feel ropey?
Edited to add - put in this forum because most of my anxieties surround the fear of illness, and manifest as symptoms of such.
