Hi everyone, im new to the site, i have suffered with Anxiety and stress for 25 years i can normally cope and try and stop the symptoms but have found over the last few months i have gotten really bad , i recently turned middle age (mid 40's) and work related stress and the Pandemic has taken its toll, but i have found im experiencing new anxiety symptoms i have never had before and was just wonder is anyone else has - at the moment it feels like health Anxiety and its feeding my fears along with COVID anxiety
over the last few weeks i have experienced:
I struggle to get my words out when talking it feels like im slurring my words
Constant worry about how im feeling
Really poor eyesight, i have had to start wearing glasses
Songs stuck in my head - go round all day
Waking up early in the morning, first thought is basically how am i going to feel today and end up panicking and noticing strange sensations in my body
I feel all nervous, trouble typing and feel my coordination has gone in the hands
Feel im walking funny
strange feelings in my arms and legs
feel my thinking has really slowed down, i really have to push myself to do something even just doing simple tasks
Constant mind chatter, racing thoughts that and the songs going round my head is really draining
Spending so much time thinking back to how many years i have wasted being anxious, and it makes me sad, constantly looking back on my life
Health fears - MS, COVID Parkinson’s, CJD - (this is a new one, high anxiety and coordination problems)
Find myself spending all day with just thoughts running round my head
Im sure this will pass and things will get better but really struggling to enjoy anything and concentrate on work or general day to day tasks :(
thanks for reading
