Hello

I normally post on the Health Anxiety forum as that's where most of my anxiety is focused. However I am really struggling at the moment. I have been signed off work with anxiety and, after being frightened that I have a brain tumour and experiencing some weird symptoms I now find myself feeling scared because I have this awful feeling that I can't explain. My anxiety has generally followed a similar pattern over the years and so I'm fearing that this time it's not anxiety at all and that what I'm experiencing is something else. Basically I feel scared, I have moments where I just feel panicky but I don't know what about. I have this awful sense that something is wrong but I can't explain what it is. It's like a feeling of something bad is lurking or that things are just not right or normal.

I'm probably not making sense right now. I'm just struggling to cope becasue I can't explain. It's such a strong feeling of not feeling right without being able to explain why.

Can anyone relate to this?

Thanks

Anyone?

What you're saying sounds like it is anxiety. I get like that, I just feel that my world is going to collapse around me.

Are you on any meds or getting any other treatment?

Hi there Wabbit

Thanks for replying. I'm on Sertraline - have been for sometime as I have suffered from anxiety for many, many years. I wasn't taking them properly though, kept missing them and then had a promotion and work was non stop. I'm also seeing a counsellor, but it was just this weird feeling that things aren't 'right' and because it's not exactly the same as I have had before it scares me.
