Hello there, I'm new to the site, well, joined yesterday, and wondered if someone could give me some help or advice as I am struggling with my anxiety today.
Basically I have suffered from panic attacks and anxiety for about the last year and a half, and over the last couple of months I have been suffering from health anxiety.
Anyway, this week I have been feeling really low, I have a constant sense of feeling out of it, I get chest pains and a horrid feeling of pressure within my head. Every time I feel a sensation within my body e.g pins and needles, muscle twitch, random pain, whatever, my head fills with negative thoughts of death, serious illness and the like. I know that thinking in this way isn't rational, but that little voice in the back of my mind keeps saying 'what if, what if...'
I thought I was able to cope with these feelings, but this week I just can't seem to cope, I don't know where to turn to or who I can speak to. I am 19 (at uni at the mo) and I just can't seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel out of this feeling, I don't know when it is going to end.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions of what I can do to help overcome these negative thoughts it would be much appreciated.
Sorry for the rambling.
Any help would be much appreciated :)
