Hello,

I am seeing a locum Doctor tomorrow morning as I think I'm suffering from anxiety. Actually I know I'm suffering as it can't be 'normal' to feel as scared and worried as I do. I get to sleep okay but I wake up early in the morning and it's like someone has flipped a switch on and there is that awful scared feeling, the stomach churning and nausea and the horrible cold feeling in my chest.

I've been feeling this on and off for a year now although it's got worse in the last few months. When it began it would be for a silly reason like there being a problem with the computer which my fab friend always came over and sorted out. By the next day the feeling would be gone and things would be back to normal. However it has changed now to me always feeling edgy, worried and anxious. I feel like I'll never smile or laugh again. It's the most awful feeling and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Finding this site was great. I'm hoping that by becoming a member I might not feel so alone with these feelings and may get insight in how to help myself.

Cheers,
Larxx

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Hi lar
Welcome to the club I'm sorry to say. But at least you've come to the right place you will find that all of us have been there at one point in time,and it is the most horrible feeling. there is loads of useful info hear I suggest you plought your way through it and i'm sure you will feel happier knowing that there is so much available to help you cope and recover, My first suggestion is to look at your caffine intake , and any other stimulants, alcohol etc, and try to avoid if possible as they will encourage anxiety you may feel a little less anxious,and every little step helps in the big picture, keep us all posted on the visit from your locum.

Kindest wishes
