triggers, do i have anxiety??

rvch1117 — Fri, 03 Apr 2020 07:42:21 GMT

hi guys. i know this might sound kinda stupid because its half a rant but i really need to get this out to someone. i've never been professionally diagnosed but i've always had anxiety inducing symptoms since the end of 2015. i couldnt breathe, bad chest pains, racing heart beat and stomach aches. honestly typing this right now im struggling to breathe and i want to cry. in class when we have ice breakers i find it really hard for me to breathe. i have chest pains and i want to cry in the middle of class if the teacher brings up these sort of self introductory topics. i dont know why. and when in a new group of people, i cant breathe and i struggle to talk to anyone. does this happen to anyone else?? i feel alone because although i have friends who have similar experiences, none of them have the same as mine. is this normal? i dont know whats going on. because it was so bad in 2016 and 17. i would have struggles to breathe and chest pains everyday. and i always felt so nervous on a daily basis. nowadays only certain triggers bring it up though, like social situations or bringing up someone from my past. someone help me figure myself out please.

There is two main avenues to approach this- your GP and subsequent treatment and- self help.

Lets not underestimate the many things you can do to avoid symptoms like shortness of breath, emotions and panic attacks.
