I can't sleep because of it.

I posted a thread before about being scared I contracted Meningitis, luckily I do not believe I have. The doctor believes I am just experiencing nerve impingement in my shoulders and back which is contributing to the neck pain I'm getting (which is why I was health anxious about Meningitis).

Since I began worrying about it, I haven't been able to sleep alone. I made my boyfriend sleep with me two nights in a row already. I keep getting panic attacks right as soon as I drift to sleep. I'll be laying down and all the sudden I get a rush through my body and to my head, and it scares me and it makes me think I can't handle the night by myself.

I've never experienced such bad anxiety before. It almost feels like I'm not even existing and that no one else can hear or hear me. I might end up finding myself at my boyfriends house tonight.


Every little thing is frightening me. I'm getting shortness of breath (which I assume is from anxiety) and these head rushes. I don't know what I should do anymore.

Now I'm scared it's Sepsis... someone help.

Shortness of breath and head rushes are extremely common with anxiety.
Look on the internet for some calming and breathing techniques for anxiety. x

I failed to mention that my heartbeat gets extremely high when I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety. I hope this is not Sepsis based.

So does mine Myranda. The heart can take more than you think. :hugs:

Thank you for the support and I'm slowly trying to heal myself. I haven't been myself for days and it makes me scared. Thanks for the positive thoughts. :)
