I get a feeling of being 'bothered'. I don't always know why but I feel distracted, bothered, irritated, pissed off and when I feel like that I don't enjoy other peoples company. It is something like that. I usually want a logical reason why I am anxious but don't always have it, I just concentrate on the things which make me relaxed and feel better.

Maybe you need try some meditation or something to help relax you?

Its complicated with me! Ranges from feeling agitated, unsettled, not being able to concentrate to feeling like I'm not really here, dizzy, being sick, upset stomach, full blown chest pains, racing heart and range of other symptoms! Just depends really!

What are you symptoms? If there are any you are particularly worried about there may someone on here who has them too!

I can be manicly sad, manicly happy, overtired but carn't sleep, worried and all the while be confused. I live in two worlds parrell to each other all the time. All this happens in a day but i know i will always get through the day because i have things to do and people to care for e.t.c... but i have bad really bad spells once a month where i seriously dont care know more and want to give up. probably lasts about a week. (dont care about my spelling lol) would need to know your symptoms, am a listener and a questioner. :D

Does sound very familiar. I know what you mean about feeling 'weird'. That is so true and sometimes the only way you can describe it! It is a weird feeling. Its a horrible weird feeling. But you did the right thing today, carrying on and going to the shop. Don't avoid it because it will just make it worse. Say to yourself 'It's anxiety, its uncomfortable but its ok, nothing awful is going to happen'. It takes time. But it does work if you keep saying this and carry on! Its hard work, but worth it!

Yes its like everyday is a battle, wondering what the day will bring, i get a 'sick' feeling in my stomach and a tightness in my throat most days, especially when tired, stressed or worried about something.
