Made it through my first day but still FEARFUL

[katyfitz]

IT REALLY HARD TO EXPLAIN HOW IM FEELING. MY FEAR IS FAINTING AND BECAUSE I FREQENTLY GET THAT LETHARGIC LIGHTHEADED HOT FLUSHED FEELING I AUTOMATICALLY FINK IM GONNA FAINT. i WAS UP AT 6AM TODAY FOR WORK I WAS SO NERVOUS ABOUT THE BUS JOURNY ALONE AND SINCE BECOMEING AN ANXIETY SUFFERE THE MORNINGS ARNT GOOD FOR ME IT TAKES ME AT LEAST 4 HOURS TO FOCUS. Im once again just scared that i have an ongoing illness i just wanna get up for work and enjoy the day ahead instead of thinking straight away when i wake that something awfuls gonna happen to me. the thoughts going round my head today where, (ive done nothing for 8 months now im back at work i found it a struggle to cope wiv the unsteady ill feeling, i wouldnt be like this if there wasnt something wrong with me surely?) but then again wouldnt i in 10 months of gradually got bed bound if i had something serious?

its the
lightheaded
hot flushed
uneasy
weak
lethargic
flu like feelings that get to me that make me think im not normal, i just wanna be normal again and i dread the day a doc tells me the worst news. i have a fobia of dying so any illness i get i think thats gonna be the outcome.

I know i should be proud cause i got on the bus 2wice alone today and did an 8 hour shift but something in my head is still asking questions like why am i finding it so difficult to cope wiv a days work

is this ANXIETY?
