Hello everyone! My name is Jim and I have been dealing with some funny physical symptoms lately that all lingered after getting some kind of weird flu. My gp has it pegged as anxiety but has yet to officaly "diagnose" me so to speak. I've always dealt with stress but have never reacted in physical ways like this. In truth I've only been feeling truly "scared" and thinking "illogicaly" about my health and possible diseases ever since he said that, not before.
Here is the thing, around the time this all started I have been having trouble at work, change in boss and loads of stress followed. Everyday I didn't look foward to going. All week was full of stress I suppose. Also I've been nearly chewing my arm off trying to make some tough career changing uni decisions next year. On top of that my househould environment has been very tightly wound and stressing and making me feel uncomfortable to even come home. I'm planning to move out but lately its felt less and less like a reality and more like a fleeted dream. I've been having financial issues that I can never seem to get on top of, and on top of ALL that, I had a death in the family at the beginning of the year thanks to cancer, and for lack of wanting to talk about it lets just say I actually watched the final moments with my own eyes. Like the very final moments.
All this stuff has been stressfull, but then I got sick, and then some symptoms started to show, and THEN my gp assumed anxiety without ever really giving me a definitive answer.
What I can't get my head around is howcome the physical manifestations are so real and so lingering as it is there even on days when I feel mentally fine. Is it possible subconciously I am still wound up and just dont realise it? Its true everyday I fear for my health but its ONLY because the symptoms started first, you see? not worry followed by symptoms. If anything this all started when I actually got sick. And even though I'm better now, because alot of these symptoms won't go I find myself second guessing my gp :blush:
Can HA work this way?
Thanks anyone for answers with experience in this matter. :)
