Hi Everyone
I've just come across this website after a short bout of anxiety.. I decided enough was enough so decided to google my symptoms to check I'm not the only one out there behaving so .. irrationally. I've shed a little tear as so much of this rings true.
Sorry if this is really long..
The thing is, I seem like the really up together one. I have just graduated from uni, secured my dream job pretty much straight away, and generally managed to secure most things on my little life list as and when I wanted them. But the stupidest little things niggle me and I ifnd myself in a state of blind panic, heart racing, shortness of breath over things such as my boyfriend taking hours to reply to a text. I start to doubt that he loves me, I worry he is with someone else, or that he has finally realised what an idiot I am. Really he is just busy and I am overreacting, but I can't rest until I have heard from him.
That's just one of the things. I obsessively bite my nails and fingers, I pull at my hair and my eyebrows and I can't stop it, I don't realise I am doing it but I really want to stop.
I think I should probably go and see my GP but I even worry he wont take me seriously. I don't want to take medication I just want to talk to someone, before my obsessions drive me mad. I could go on and on about things I panic about... that I'm having a conversation and my phone is left on and someone will hear me... checking my facebook wall incase someone has written something horrible about me. I'm just so paranoid? Is that anxiety too? Or am I overreacting?
Sorry to bang on
