my name is teabag and i am 28. I am very new to all of this and am delighted that i found this website. I have been diagnosed with Anxiety and depression which i am sure you all know about.
The thing i am having trouble with is believing that the physical symptoms are created by me and not some god awful disease.
I have been having a sort of fluttering feeling under my skin all over. This is not constant but comes on when i'm trying to relax. Of course i looked it up on google and scared myself to death. My breathing is screwed up and my muslces feel achy and tired and even though i tell myself every day that its anxiety, my brain tells me that it is MS/ALS/HIV- basically anything. (i have to add here that google told me more than i needed to know about the symptoms of ALS)... Instead of google i now come on here.
I guess the reason i'm writing this is because it feels like i am connecting to people who understand and don't think i'm mad. This has been happening for a year and fingers crossed with the help of CBT i will be able to get the stillness back.
Does anyone know whether the fluttering/twitching ever goes away? Also is anyone else finding it difficult to come off diazepam? Thanks- Teabag. :shrug:
