Hi guys.
I know what I'm doing but can't seem to stop.
I hadn't had any major anxiety for nine years! after a bit of a breakthrough in understanding. Then I had a health worry, which seemed to explode my anxiety. Even though I still have the problem, my original fear that it was a tumour is gone. However, I am now trapped in an anxiety cycle.
I wake each day with that feeling of unease and 'something is wrong.' I can feel my breathing going wrong and I feel wound up and tense most of the day. I get adrenaline flushes whenever I think of my health thing, and just can't get back to normal. Now I worry that I will end up going mad, or unable to cope and breaking down, even though I sometimes feel okay.
Is it normal to have this grim shadow? To feel worried and tense most of the time - little appetite, unable to relax or focus on anything but how I feel? Will it ever go away again? I am sick of 'setting myself off' and not being able to turn it off again, and of feeling so fed up with it.
Anyone else know this feeling?
