Having battled GAD for some time now I have good days and bad. I am permanently concerned and stressing about my Heart. The last few days have been bad. I got to the point where I have taken two days off work as I feel awful. I am suffering constant dizziness and have pains in my chest and in my left arm. I am sleeping loads yet forced myself to go for a walk which eased my symptoms and made me feel a bit better. I know that if I was having a Heart related issue that physical exercise would probably not be possible but I cannot shake the negative thoughts.
Over the past 12 months I have used alcohol as an escape because I feel ok after a few drinks. I know it is a viscous circle and alcohol is not the answer.
Luckily I have a lot of holiday owing at work so am now off until the new year. Work has been a nightmare this year and has not helped my anxiety so I am hoping that the break will do me good. I also intend to use this time off to try and cut down on my drinking. I still intend to have a few drinks over the Xmas period but will not go on too mad.
Is anyone else is a similar situation or is it just me??
I’ve read about NLP Therapy and am considering giving it a go during my time off. Has anyone had any experience of this?
Thanks X
