Hi everybody
Im 23 years old and my anxiety started happening around 2 months back. I had severe fatigue, frequent urination, headaches, muscle twicthes, constant worrying about work ( which was stressing me out a lot btw), shortness of breath, metallic taste in mouth, unreasoned thinking, i was shunting out my loved ones, giving people a hard time.
Most of all I was loosing focus, performing poorly . I wasnt able to switch off or disconnect from my work which was the core reason for my anxiety. I couldn't drive at all because I was worried I would hit someone. I went to 5 doctors and all my tests(CT, blood tests, urine tests) everything turned out negative.
I was like wtf could be wrong with me, not realising my problem was anxiety and depression. Then after a month of suffering I was advised to go to an endocrinologist and after several bloody tests again the results turned negative.
He then diagnosed me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and gave me an antidepressant. The antidepressant did its magic and helped me in a very big way. But after stumbling upon this site, I realised that I did not have CFS but Anxiety and depression. I was amazed to know that my problem was more of a imbalance of my senses and not a physical problem as I was having a lot of physical symptoms.
I still have the lightheadedness, panic attacks, anxiety all these turning to the nasty symptoms of physical problems. When I excersice I feel great, when I turn lazy I feel like shit. I started to breathe in the morning, it helped a lot as well.
I have been going through a lot of personal problems and professional ones, but I realised that I have not handled them in a cool way.
I would like to be a part of this community and discuss any and all means to completely lead an anxiety free and stress free life. Im open to any and all advices as I now thoroughly understand what it feels like to have anxiety all the time.
Cheers
