Physical symptoms of anxiety
I don't know if any of you have experienced this but ever since the pandemic started. I have been feeling weird. Extremely unusual. Not myself at all. I feel so unsafe in my own body. I panic every single seconds of everyday.
It's been absolute hell for me. Just being in this constant state of extreme paranoia all the time. My sleep has been absolutely out of control and just all over the place. My mind's been overthinking as usual.
But ever since the pandemic i have been having this weird thing. So basically my body would be convinced that i had one illness and then my mind would basically tell me that i have that sickness and then my body would replicate those symptoms.
Apparently what i have is called "Health Anxiety" which i've done some research on obsessively for quite a while now and yea, it's been ruining my life and i haven't been the same person since the pandemic
It all begin after my panic attack. That just made things a whole lot worse for me. Just having to deal with a panic attack was THE worse day of my life. Most people don't really understand what that's like but for those who do you'll know how absolutely horrendous this thing is. It's terrible!!!
Unfortunately things hasn't improved much for me. I've been in this deep dark hole for so long now that i barely even recognise my own name. It's just been so painful.
Somedays I'll want to relate to someone so badly and i wouldn't even really have anyone to relate to since i just constantly felt so alone and so isolated. I felt like a prisoner in my own skin. I wish i knew how to free myself from the shackles of anxiety but sadly i don't. Somedays I'll have "good days" and then all of a sudden anxiety would creep in and then it'll take over my life all over again. Every time i make some progress somehow anxiety still manages to show its ugly face🙄🙄🙄
So far my symptoms have been chest pains, back pains, shortness of breath, hot flushes, cold flushes, paranoia, tight chest, numbness, shakiness, headaches/head pressures, insomnia...
It's just been a whole lot to cope with to be honest. It's no joke this thing. It's hell on earth.
I hope someone out there can relate to this because it sucks feeling so alone.
