That sounds very normal for an anxiety sufferer! Have you seen a doctor? Do you take any medication?

hiya
no medication at the moment trying to manage without tablets has i have fear of side effects from tablets aswell

Ok, well I have taken tablets for quite a few years and I have to say if you can get through the first week of taking them, they do help. However I understand your fear of taking them, have you tried some Rescue Remedy? Or maybe listening to some relaxing music? I know this all seems a bit silly when you are so panicky but you need to try something to relax you, to help the anxiety pass.

I feel for you Angie , it's so hard to understand what happens to us physically with anxiety and also hard to believe that it is all anxiety. Try and relax a wee bit more , I know thats not easy , listen to some music that you enjoy , go for a brisk walk, just do something to take your mind of it because that is a big part of it , our minds ! We constantly think about what is going on and analyse it ( usually negetive )
Go into the chatroom when your feeling like this , it helps to talk about it :) Paige x

Angie don't worry we're pretty much all in the same boat. See my thread also in this section.

I feel like I'm going mad most of the time, I get that random sense of fear and panic come over me also for no apparant reason. You are an extreme anxiety sufferer like me but don't worry it can't hurt you! Just remember that!
