Need HELP BADLY!!!!

[katyfitz]

OK its suddenly hiting me hard again, all the symptoms i get i think im dying with, my mouth ulcer is mouth cancer, my tensed eyes is a brain tumour and that causes my lightheadedness, my nauseusness is stomach cancer, heartburn is something wrong with my heart.

i cant go on living lie this. when i wake up in the morning in just wanna sleep again because i feel so terrible and know i shouldnt feel this way.
i mean answer me this question.

How is it right to wake up everday feeling lighteheaded out of breathe and weak like you cant carry on and this not be diagnosed as something because surely its not fair to be living this way.

my doc did blod tests and said i was fine everything was great but NO i said because THERE HAS to be something wrong with me, whenever i come to you with the flu or stomach aches u give me antibiotics WHY NOT this time.

My family are always asking me to go out for the night with them to chill and forget everything but i just think to myself ITS EASY FOR YOU TO SAY CAUSE YOU DONT FEEL LIKE S**T but i really wanna go out and enjoy myself and get the thoughts out my head that im not gonna soon die.

Even when i dont feel anxiuos and im out and have a few drinks down me i still feel a bit lightheaded but not as much i do feel more confident after a drink, so why if im not thinking about it do i still experience symptoms? i just want someone ANYONE to reply to me and say KATY IM THE SAME AS YOU, U ARE NOT ALONE

im crying righ now and feel so scared please help me.

Do you think my family doc of 11 years is right and one day my natural self will comeback but it takes time?

sorry to go on but someone please reply

thanks guys xx

I felt like this for many years and had no help atall as panic was not as well researched then.

I used to sit and work feeling rubbish, would go to the loos and cry then back to my desk again, then go home and lay on the settee all night. I would sleep all weekend and not go out, then back to work to do it all again.

Had I known then how things can be improved quite easily I would have been over-joyed.

You need to start with the basics and they WILL help you trust me.

Relaxation CD's, practise breathing, get some Complex vitamin B, regular eating, regular exercise, rescue remedy and so on.

Make small changes each day and you will notice a difference trust me.

I had the dizziness every day for over 3 years, the DP and DR, the panic attacks. I then decided to take control of my life again and not let it beat me and you can do this too - I know that you can.

It won't go away on its own though I am afraid. It is hard work to conquer it and you have a big fight on your hands but I did it and you can too. I have great faith in you.

Chin up ok and try to start making those small changes as from tomorrow ok?

Any time you are feeling down or want a chat please send me a PM,

Take Care

Hi Katy

You are definitley not alone. I know exactly how you feel, even if it's hard to believe. I know it's difficult to truly believe that others feel the same way but believing does make things a little easier. For the past year I have had all of your symptoms and more. I have spent the whole day today believing I have brain tumor/MS. For the past few weeks my legs and arms have been so weak I feel as though they won't move (but they do). I am breathless, I have blurred vision and a numb right foot!!!! The joys of aniexty. I spend each day believing I am going to die of a terminal illness. I can't offer anything to make you feel better other than reassurance that your not alone. I hope you will take some comfort from everybodies replys and I hope you feel a little stronger.

Take care

You are not alone, only this evening I got scared that my numb arms and feet indicates a stroke, and my pre-menstrual breast pain is breast cancer. Remember I told you about that Claire Weekes book I got off ebay? I have finished it and its excellent, so please get one if you havent already. I know it will take me some time to accept everything she says in it, as I wont change after just reading it once, but I will persevere with it. God Bless you Katy

Hi Katy,

I know it is hard to live with this we all have struggles, ups and downs but it may well be you need to just get a second opinion from another Doctor to settle to you. The doctor can only give you treatment if you have a physical illness so if he doesn’t see one present he shouldn’t treat it.

Anxiety is something we need to live with but I would say it is almost impossible to fully cure it especially on your own. It must be a good release for you to come on here and vent your frustrations at all of us I know I feel it is a benefit for me.

I think given time you will get over this but you really need to tell your doctor that you aren’t coping and it is important to tell your family just how bad you are feeling. You need to be careful that you don’t drink too much to block everything out because long term it will make things worse long time.

Well big hugs ((((((((((((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))))))))))))))) ) for you.

I am exactly like you too. For me, everything is cancer - every ulcer, stomach ache, spot, lump, bump, pain. I am only not worrying about headaches at the moment because I've just had an mri scan which was negative - but thats a different story.

What can we do? Just try and take comfort in the fact that we are all going through the same thing and you are not alone.

"KATY IM THE SAME AS YOU, U ARE NOT ALONE"

I can totally relate to your post...................its the awful depressing thoughts that I'm gonna die that get me the worst.

I just think about my husband marring someone else when I'm gone and not getting chance to have his kids (mad, I know) but this really frightens me.

Most people who suffer Health Anxiety, will at some point, felt exactly the same as you are feeling right now.

Try and keep positive and feel free to PM me anytime.

Katy my dear Katy,

This is Dave here, fellow Panicker and also MSN chat friend :)

You are not alone, oh my god, you are so not alone.

I fear things you do but at least you go to the doctors to find out more about it. I am afraid of doc's incase i pass out whilst im there, thats my main fear so for me the old saying "It's the not knowin that kills you!" is ever so evident, im too scared to go to the docs and because of this im in a weird and scary situation everyday also.

I don't believe doctors wouldn't tell you if there was somethin wrong with you. They are paid to know these things. Anxiety is still the most un-understood mental illness of them all though so if you do feel you are being fobbed off, its only because they don't fully understand anxiety themselves. I would suggest maybe finding a doctor who specialises in panic issues (there are some) if you haven't already done so.

Im always here if you need me Katy, you know how to get ahold of me, on here or msn.

Thinkin of you Katy
