Hi all! I am new to the site, and looking for support, and maybe validation in what I have been feeling of late. I have experienced anxiety throughout my life, but I never really have it a name I guess. I just know that I have an incredibly hard time coping if something bad happens. I will fixate, to the point where the rest of my life completely falls by the wayside. I can't sleep, eat, work....everything I think about surrounds that issue.
This brings me to my current situation:( My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's 3 weeks ago and is truly doing great, as is my mom. Everyone is so optimistic, he is taking charge of his health, and is even eating better and exercising. Having said all of this, it sent me into an absolute tizzy. I began doing internet research for him. Medications, things he could really do to help....and it sent me into anxiety overload. I have read every single site available, and am now also convinced I will get it, if I don't already have it:(. Since finding out, I have had the following symptoms: heart palpitations, racing pulse, insomnia, panic in the middle of the night, muscle tension, muscle twitching, I can feel my heart beating in every part of my body, and an upset stomach. The twitching terrified me, and has me fearing the worst!
I am hoping someone might be able to relate, and possibly put my mind at ease?❤️
Anxiety sucks! Thanks so much in advance:)
