I'm literally at my wits end about my anxiety disorder now. Its so unpredictable and irrational its taking over me life. I wake up every morning with my heart in my throat and the nightmare just continues all day. I don't know how Im going to get through the day sometimes. On top of the usual heart racing, sweaty palms and tension headaches my skin has also been playing up lately so just wondering if anyone else gets the same problems?
I used to get a burning skin sensation on my stomach and shoulders, much like sunburn. Then in the ceases/rolls of my stomach the intense heat would start to causes redness and itchyness. Had to cool and moisturize in order to treat. This would happen randomly throughout the day and when taking a hot shower.
Now I'm just noticing tingling and itchyness that happens on my chest, arms, neck, knees, hands and feet. Sometimes on inspection and the odd scratch there is a tiny raised spot, never really in clusters just the one.
All these abnormalities have led me to have a serious obsession with my health and continually keep thinking the worst and wanting to see a Dr for the silliest of things.
My GP is useless and refuses to prescribe me anything but beta blockers have 6 visits. Really think something stronger is needed now so I've started taking my dads fluxotine, I know its stupid but Im at my wits end.
Can someone please offer some advice on how to take this and if they share my symptoms. Keep thinking im dying of some life threatening illness all the time and its really affecting my mental state now.
Thanks
