Re: All my symptoms
This is a great idea for a thread as with anxiety disorders, your symptoms often leaving you feeling so bad make you feel so alone and like you are the only person in the world who is going through those symptoms.
Here are my symptoms in my current phase that I am in -
Tight chest and back (I have a cold and I've had my heart and lungs listened to twice this week and all came back clear and the cough isn't in my chest apparently)
Insomnia
No appetite
Hot one minute, cold the next
Dizzy and light headed
DP/DR
No notion for much
Sharp and crampy pain between my shoulder blades
Churning/dodgy feeling gut
Nausea
Just want to lie in bed all day
A horrible feeling of impending doom or sadness
A weird feeling which I don't know is depression or maybe just fear of my situation, but I keep feeling like all my personality has been zapped out of me and I'll never recover
Feeling like I am going mad, having a nervous breakdown or needing sectioned
Feel spacey and different towards my loved ones
