scared, no actually im terrified :( whats wrong with me?
Hi everyone,
I fear i am losing the plot :(
For the last 5 days or so ive been getting this sensation - i will descibe it the best i can:
tingling/creeping sensation in various parts of my body, usually starts in my legs and works its way up. Totally random, i could be doing something or just sitting when it happens. It kinda feels like when a part of you goes numb and you get that tingly thing before you get pins and needles thats the only way i can describe it. but i never get the pins and needles bit and i never feel numb....
so im lying in bed at 6am this morning and i feel it all up my right side, im petrified that something bad is going to then happen, like a stroke or heart attack or something i just dont know :( so im now wide awake, just waiting for something to happen. I concentrated on my breathing and made sure it was nice and slow, deep breaths, i tried to make sure my body was relaxed and i told myself again and agian it would pass, i was fine and it would be ok.......it didnt work :( it moved from my right side to my left, and then all the way up my body, but it lingers most on my thighs. I also feel trembly. Im so scared i have something wrong with me, how can anxiety give me such physical sensations, i know im actually feeling them and im not just thinking im feeling them.
i dont want to be on my own, im almost bloody 40 and im afraid to be on my own, what on earth is that all about?? Im only just managing to go to work, i have to really push myself to go. My kids (teenagers) need me to be strong and they dont know that i feel like this, i have kept it from them but its gettng so hard to hide now :(
im so afraid i have some neurological condition, im terrified to the core :(
whats wrong with me? i just want to live my life like a normal person :(
Linda
