hi trizzy
welcome to nmp
you are not going mad trust me !
anxiety is a horrid thing and will make you believe many things.
have a really good look around the forum and you will find some good advice and the most important thing is you will see you are not alone.

Trizzy, involuntary head shake was one of my symptoms 11 years ago with first episode of anxiety.. It will stop..when anxiety/panic is high it will seem worse but it wont hurt you.

Thank you for replying,
Honeypie ,I have so much neck stiffness and pains in my teeth which feel like my nerves. a tightness around the throat and my head feels like i have a sinus infection or something. It does get worse the more i think about it, i try to calm down but think something horrible is going to happen. xx
Zee, thank you its so frightening at the time your message helps xx

Everything you say there Tizzy is familiar to me.. After my first anxiety 11 years ago which lasted about 8 months, I never had anything else until a year ago.. I didnt get the head tremor this time around but have been through.. Sinus and ear issues, jaw clenching, lightheaded, muscle tightness, tum issues, weight loss through food anxiety, allergy type symptoms...list goes on. anxiety turns up so many strange symptoms.

[lynn1960]

i am there too in a bad place aniexty really bad want it too stop

[Trizzy]

Second day on 40mg feel a little more focused but have bad stomach cramps and a fuzzy head. Feel i might even get dressed today. Didnt think these meds would take so long to get into my system.

[Trizzy]

Well i have been feeling slightly more in control of my anxiety over the last few days. But my biggest test will be tomorrow, my husband returns home after five weeks away and has yet has not seen me like this. During our chats on skype i have managed to mask the anxiety. awoke this morning feeling in control and my son has more or less told me to 'pull myself together' before dad gets home tomorrow. My husband and i are very close and part of my anxiety has been made worse by his working away. However he doesnt understand anxiety. He knows i have been off work but doesnt know just how bad things are. All my feelings of dread have come flooding back. :weep:
