Hi my name is Kirsty. I'm 24 years old and have been suffering from anxiety on and off for a couple of years. When i had my first panic attack a few years ago i thought i was going to have a heart attack. The usual symptoms racing heart pains in chest. I felt drained for months and thought there was no way i would get better. It also put a huge strain on my relationship as i didnt want to do anything. But after a year or so it gradually got better as i started to get on with my life and didnt let it rule me. I found myself free of anxiety for a while and felt great!!
But then one day about 3 months ago i was at the gym and had a funny turn whilst exercising. I went to the doctors and they said i was probably overdoing it. Since then the anxiety has come back and seems to be getting worse. I've been experiencing really bad headaches, Migraines, muscle spasms and other physical symptoms i've never experienced with anxiety before which makes me think there is something seriously wrong like i have a brain tumour or something. I've been back to the doctors a couple of times and they just keep telling me its anxiety. I have an assessment for counselling next week, which i am hoping is going to help me and hopefully i can help others!!!!
