I just thought.. well I have never introduced myself here..How odd after almost a year to do so ..My name is Michael.. Im a 52 year old that has suffered with anxiety off and on all my life ..Most times not so bad.. My life has been fairly anxiety free for the last say 15 or so years and then wham..
We were living in New Orleans and family around and then the hurricane hit and we moved 2000 miles north to a cold climate a mile and one half above where we used to live.Dealing with being away from family at first was hard and then being in a colder climate a mile and one half above the altitude im used to didnt help and also being rural felt like the ends of the earth or another planet.About a year ago I started hearing a pulsation in my head my heartbeat.
I have been to a gp and also ent vascular specialist and have friends that are nurses that say this conditon isnt serious just annoying.. They tell me over and over just to keep busy and there are no symptoms of heart disease or artery problems are anything else just stay busy and try to forget it.Well im coming around and doing better but still have days that Its hard for me and well I worry .. but I try to take my mind off of things by posting here and telling others things I have experienced and still do ..
The things I post about many times I have others say its just anxiety ..Ok I feel like if they tell me that then they have felt the same way.. I also try to do the same for others too...Things that I have felt for sure and yes realized after that they were caused by anxiety ..I try to reassure too and help..It helps me to post to them and tell them that what they are experiencing is anxiety ..
So well I guess its a give and take..But thank God for all of you and your sharing your stories and events in your lives .It helps me tremoudously and hopefully Im helping someone too..Just thought I would introduce myself after so long of a time. Thanks for letting me post and be here. .
