Hi all, new here and recently I have been suffering from anxiety. Every little thing my body does I react to, and worry about. Although I am slowly getting better, I have been to my GP, had blood tests, with the only thing coming back slightly bad was my bilirubin levels, which were elevated. This could have been due to the antibiotics I was on, all just to the anxiety I am having. NowI am hoping that I can find people here to relate too, I am awaiting on joining a therapy group, but that is not till the end of the month. Till then I having been reading books and trying to make myself feel better, not always successfully. I generally have the following:
Soft, sticky frequent stools (3-4 times a day),
tingling sensations in around my body,
dizziness,
fatigue,
stomach complaints/butterflies
and on occasions, night sweats (2-3 times a year)
Does anyone get similar, not only am I seeking reassurance in a way, but it would be great to find similar minded people. I think my anxiety has really stepped up a gear as I have recently found out that my wife is pregnant. I am always scared that something is wrong with me and I may die and not see my child grow up or leave my wife on her own. It gets me into tears at time. Generally I am healthy, I rarely drink and I do not smoke. I have been prescribed anti-depressant but I have been hesitant to take them. Anyone have any suggestions
