hi all, just wondering if anyone can put my mind at rest. Ive had anxiety for about 2 months now and and just seem to be up and down all the time(driving myself nuts) This website has been a great help and i have been able to rationalise my thoughts on a lot of the symptoms due to the advice given to other people, my problem is, however, that i seem to have atleast 90% of the symptoms mentioned and its freaking me out.

i got past the non eating, choking feeling, not swallowing, scared to sleep, major internal shakes, and so on; but every time i get past a symptom another one comes up

now my throat just feels sore and croaky/dry alot and i have had this headache for like 3 days which has left a tender spot in the middle left hand side of my head (for a whole 3 days). I just don't get it beacuse i thought it was justa pressure headache as it started at the back of my head, went numb, then moved to the front- but now i just have this tender spot on my head that hurt when i touch it, is not moving and has been there for days.

sorry to waffle, just sick of wierd symptoms like the rest of you and couldn't face going to the doctors AGAIN.

if anyone experiences similar some feedback would be must appreciated, thanks and take care all

Hi Linz,
Welcome to the site, it's a great place to get support.
I've had alot of headaches in the past and still get a few, what you're describing sounds like a tension headache. I sometimes get the sore points that you mention, it's nothing to worry about.
Take care and enjoy the site,

hi Linz,

I often have tender spots on my head, especially after headaches. It's just caused by anxiety and is nothing to worry about..

This is a new symptom for me. I had it in the past but I didn;t really have other symptoms then. This one scared me. I do clinch my jaw tight esecially at night, could it be from tention in my head and jaw.

Hey everyone. I recently was diagnosed with anxiety and I'm also ADD. So they have me on anxiety medication and adderall. I try not to take the ADD medicine because it makes my anxiety worse. Here lately I have been having the worse headaches, and very bad tenderspots. Even if I just touch my head it feels weird. Does this seem normal? Reading everyone's posts has put my mind at ease a little bit. But it still scares me. It is like i'll nevber escape this feeling, and im only 22. This anxiety thing really sucks!

Hi Shafiq, welcome to the forum.
Have you seen a doctor? You should do this first to rule anything out. I am sure it is anxiety, but see a doctor first and tell them about your symptoms.
How about making your own thread and introducing yourself to us? Choose a forum and click new thread.
Take care.
