Hi Everyone,
I've been doing really well lately, had my last (bar a follow up to be arranged) CBT appointment last week, and actually felt like I didn't need to be there which was great.
However the last couple of days have caught me out (again!) I'm getting much better at dismissing physical symptoms as anxiety. Ignoring them and sure enough they disappear in a couple of days if not less.
Today though, I've woken up with quite a sharp pain in the left of my chest, quite high up, like just below my collar bone.
My mind is now starting to drift off into anxiety mode and where as a week ago I would have though "It's fine, I've obviously slept funny, and pinched a nerve or a muscle somehow". But unfortunately my mind is now saying "Oh great, is it heart related? A blood clot?"
I have no other symptoms apart from feeling slightly anxious. Oh but I am "looking for" an ache in my left arm and as such have given myself a slight ache! lol!
Anyone relate?
