I have always been a huge worrier all my life, It usually goes like this ‘ If i aint got nothing to worry about, I worry about that.

I had panic attacks as a child, im now 29 and i feel like im going mad.

It all started 3 weeks ago, Was feeling run down and tired and my period was late so i did a test to see if I was pregnant, it was negative, that was fine, Infact it would have been fine either way. But then my thoughts got totally out of control, like what is wrong with me then, I must be seriously ill.

I drove myself and my partner mad, I ended up doing a further 4 tests, hoping that I was pregnant just to put my mind at ease. I looked on relevent sites to find out causes of missed periods, lots of reasonable explanations came up like, stress, worry, etc. But I chose to ignor all of that and saw Brain Tumour.

I had been feeling really dizzy with head aches and that was it i told myself I was dying.
The next day I took my son to a play area I was sat down watching him play feeling relaxed for a change, then I bent down to get something and wend dizzy.

That was it, I suddenly went really hot, my heart was pounding, i felt I couldnt breath, shaking and felt like everything was closing in on me. It was awful, After calming down I went to my family, and I had yet another attack, my mum called the doctor and he just reasured me that having a late period was normal. Two days later I got my period, And felt relived and rather silly.

But The symptoms continued and started to get worse. Feeling sick, empty, dizzy spells, aches and pains, lack of concerntration, burning ears and a racing heart. I have lost count at each terrible Illness I have diagnosed myself with.

Its been two week since and I just feel like I am going insane, Its taking over my life, affecting my relationship with my partner and I feel like im being a terrible mother.

I want to see the doctor but im afraid he will just send me away.

After I had my son I had postnatal depression and my doctor sent me to a self help class, it really did not work and Im afraid they will do it again.

I just want to feel normal again

I HAVE BEEN READING EVERYONES STORIES I CANT BELIEVE THAT SO MANY OF US ARE SUFFERING FROM THIS DISORDER..

I HAD MY VERY 1ST ANXIETY/PANICK ATTACK ON MY BIRTHDAY. IT SEEMS LIKE IT ALL STARTED WHEN I COULD NOT FIND A OUTFIT TO WEAR MY FRIENDS WERE COMING UP FROM OUT OF TOWN.AND I SOME HOW PANICKED AND ENDED UP IN THE BED ALL DAY..

I WENT TO THE EMERGENCY THE NEXT DAY AND NOTHING WAS DETECTED.I WENT HOME MY HEART WAS STILL RACING.

I STARTED STARTED FEELING LIKE I WAS GOING TO ACTUALLY DIE TOO..TELLING EVERYONE I LOVED THEM AND I WAS PROUD OF THEM.

I DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG..BUT AFTER THAT EXPERIENCE I FELT SOMETHING WASNT RIGHT.THE (WHAT IF’S) STARTED,ASKING MYSELF WILL THIS HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN..

AS THE MONTHS WENT ON TO ME IT GOT WORSE ENDED UP BACK AT THE ER 2 CAT SCANS THAT CAME BACK NORMAL..EKG’S, ECHO.OF THE HEART..

EVERYTHING CAME BACK NORMAL..MY DR WANTED TO PUT ME ON SOMETHING BUT I FEEL LIKE SOME YOU GUYS I AM TO SCARED TO TAKE THE MEDS. MY SYMPTOMS HAVE GOTTEN ALITTLE WORSE I DO SOMETIMES WAKE UP HEART RACING..

THEN THE THOUGHTS BUT I TRY TO BLOCK IT OUT…THE MOOD SWINGS ARE TRYING TO START..BUT TO ME ITS ALL IN THE MIND! I STARTED MAKING MYSELF LAUGH AND IT KIND OF WORKS..

FOCUSING..
ETC..

EVERYONE HAS TO STAY STRONG AND KEEP BUSY DOING SOMETHING YOU ENJOY.
