Hey,
So iv been having panic attacks/health anxiety for over a year now since I passed out at work.. I'm constantly worrying something is wrong with me so far iv had two rounds of cognitive behavioural therapy and at the time was really really helpful and the tips they teach I can still implement and prevent full blown attacks from getting really nasty.. But i'm still having loads of anxiety im constantly worried that symptoms cannot possibly be anxiety
I get:
Palpitations
light headedness
a feeling that I'm disconnected from everything not able to concentrate
feelings that I have to move and cant sit still
twinges in my chest
a throbbing pain in my left side of my tummy
Insomnia
tiredness and fatigue
overally emotional and tearful
a feeling of weak legs and arms
nausea and vomiting
that tight knotting feeling/butterflies in stomach
I am really struggling with it all at the moment and I just feel like its never going to go away.... iv been dead against medication from the word go and was determined I wasn't gonna have any form of medication mainly because I'm scared of the side affects and people have said that the medication limits your ability to feel things... I have another appointment with my GP on Monday to talk about it but I want to be dead certain on what I want to do I don't think they will send me back to therapy again and its such a long waiting list I'm confused and want to feel normal again???
Is anyone else feeling the same, has anyone regretted going on medication whats the best one with minimal side affects.... I work long shifts and nights and I really want something that's not going to affect me that much
Thanks :) xxxx
