im new here...

[peach]

hi,
ive been reading some of the messages on here since i found this place yesterday. it is soooo good to know im not alone with this. i only really suffered with anxiety and panic attacks this year. i got a stomach infection that last 2 months, and 2 months ago, i got inner ear infection that lasted 3 weeks, then a virus that has lasted till last week.... all of this caused me a total state of fear of death, and asking what was wrong with me, i got the nit wake up,feeling sick, heart racing and recently i now have a dry throat constantly, with what feels like a lump at the top of my throat. my doc is not worried at all, and my main problem isnow, i have become a bit house bound because of the dizziness and fear of fainting in public. i was such a social,healthy person before this....oh, i have IBS, had it for years, but only now i feel like ive lost my quality of life...i have to go back to university tommorow, and am so scared, i have to go, taken too much time off and i have exams in 2 weeks.....i used to love going to uni.....i cant believe my life has come to this.....its so awful and scary...
i try to convince myself its in my head, but the symptoms are so real! its hard to believe your mind can do this to your body!
thanx for listening.....i think i needed to vent...lol

Hi Peach,

Sorry to hear you have been so poorly recently! Wanted to wish you all the best for your return to uni. Do the uni know how ill you have been? Try to have a word with your supervisor, not just about your physical health but also about your anxiety too as unis have plenty of experience in helping students with such problems. Have you thought about contacting the uni counselling service? They can offer an excellent source of support too.

Take Care
Sarah

Hi

Welcome to the forum. You will find lots of support here. I can relate to the dizziness and fear of fainting it is my main symptom. I started back at university 3 weeks ago and although it is hard (I have good days and bad days) I feel it is important to get into a routine and occupy my time. I am sure you will be fine.

hi all,
i just wanted to thank you to those who have written all those nice words of encouragment to me. its just so lovely to hear from you all, and know im not alone... well, i made it to uni today and though i felt a little bit anxious and ill, i managed to stay the whole day! my lump in my throat was actually the most annoying thing to me at the moment...
i keep getting scared im going to get sick again....i really hope not...
i have to be able to continue to go to uni full time for the next 2 weeks and complete all my exams for the year...ugh! im still finding it hard to focus on study! i miss my life......of confidence, and carefree positivity..
hugs to all of you nice ppl!
