Hello everyone. This is my first post on the site. About 1 month ago, I overextended myself, and after a 4 day stint of complete exhaustion, I began to have anxiety symptoms. I read the symptom chart and at one time or another, I could relate to almost all of them.
The most uncomfortable was the irrational thoughts and fears that crept up. This has been the most troubling for me. I now understand it is part of the symptom of anxiety in the recovery process, but does anyone have any idea how long this symptom goes on?
I am seeing a counselor, and have made significant life changes to address my stress. I have been and adreniline junkie for many years and thrived on challenge and doing things. It is obvious, my body begs to differ.
Anyway, I am looking forward to any and all support from all of you and will give my input as well as I move forward in my journey of recovery.
