Having a hard time

😔@outlander thanks I’m glad I’m not the only one this is happening to. The symptoms I get are just so scary I freak myself out even more

do you get blurry vision? That’s the biggest one that scares me the most 😔

@Jaz5 @outlander health worries are hard, especially when don’t know what will happen.

I usually write all the symptom down . Then look at each symptom and work out the possibilities.

Anxiety and panic attack can cause a lot of symptoms including blurry vision.

I think first thing is to deal with anxiety and panic attacks. After that, the remaining symptoms will become clearer and can talk to a doctor about them.

Anxiety is very unpleasant, feels not in control, cant think properly, losing ability to function.

I try to tell myself to take a deep breath, to have confidence in myself to deal with whatever comes my way.

I recently tried to face my real fears head on, painful ones as well. Very hard, but at least I am no longer fearful of them.

@Meowmy it is very hard always thinking the worst knowing nothing bad is going to happen but the mind is a very powerful thing because it sure feels like I’m dying sometimes

I will definitely try writing things down I will honestly try anything. I’ve been coping so well then all of a sudden BAM and now it won’t go away

the blurry vision definitely scares me the most and I know I have to calm myself down and it goes away

I’m so sorry for anyone that is going through this but thank god I am not the only one this is happening to 😔😫

@Jaz5 Calming anxiety can take practice. After a while, you will be familiar with the sequence.Write fears down in a list. Calm it one by one. Then talk to doctor just to make sure.I think it is hardest when we don’t know what we are anxious or fearful for. I used to go round and round ,agitated and anxious,with physical blood pressure rises and stomach aching. Once I got on top of anxiety. The blood pressure is normal, stomach never ache again.

i did it by looking the pattern of my illness, figured I had to deal with some deep emotional stuff. Then I just do breathing and tell myself I am competent enough.

@Meowmy I have health anxiety so if I get a tension headache I’m fearing the worst :face_with_rolling_eyes: I try and tell myself it will pass it’s so scary I hate it I just want to be able to enjoy life again

I want to be able to sleep a whole night without waking up panicking

@outlander If write down symptoms is no good, may be try to listen to body signals. Recently I started to have heel pains after walking. I find that if I walk a bit differently or stretch my feet, they get better. So I just listen to my body and juggle my way around the pains. Funny I didn’t feel anxious about not able to walk in the future.I kindly feel confident knowing the signals from my body, my feet would be ok.
