Going back 18 months or so I think it's fair to say I was both mentally & physically a disaster. My anxiety peaked at that point and the only way was up. The most important factor for me was to carry on with my life regardless of how I was feeling. I continued to work and socialise although at times it was the hardest thing to do - but I carried on regardless. Roll forward to today and I rarely let anxiety affect me. I still have mild glitches but I take a step back and in no time I'm back on track.
Anyway, the last week or so I've been extra busy. It's the end of our financial year (LOADS more work for me), I'm at the gym/zumba 4 nights a week, we're in the process of decorating at home, I have a few other personal things going on and to top it off, I'm having a wisdom tooth out tomorrow which I'm not looking forward to :ohmy::ohmy:.... who would be! None of this is a huge problem (it's life) and I'm coping really well (I strive on challenges and keeping busy) but physically my body is letting me down. I seem to be presenting all the physical symptoms of anxiety that I had 18 months ago - headaches, achiness, fluttery tummy, tenseness, constant dizziness and an overwhelming feeling of nervousness. It's been 3 days now and showing no sign of improvement. I'm at work as I type this and I'm having a good (although busy) day. We've had lots of laughs in the office and nothing has happened to cause me any anxiety..... it's just a normal day. I don't understand. Does anyone else suffer from symptoms without the anxiety? xx
