Anxiety constant physical symptoms

[Tryingtomoveon]

Hi

Thanks for reading this post. I'm finding that when I feel more anxious I start getting really bad nausea,headaches and heart palpitations. I find it hard to find ways to stop these symptoms. I find they then increase my anxiety even more which becomes a vicious circle. I really don't know what to do I feel like I've tried it all mindfulness, breathing, walking, distraction but it just is so intense. I think what doesn't help is I'm unsure why my anxiety is increasing to cause this.

Dear TTMO~

I'm glad of that, it really did make a great difference to not only my actions, but also my mental state to be relived of many of the burdens placed by physical limitations. I felt so much less trapped and constricted and more able. Things that helped me as I regarded myself.

You are right, there is hope, and it is on more than one level.

Hey

I haven't been on here in awhile. I have been trying to work really hard to keep my symptoms in order for the most part. However with all the Covid right now and some other struggles with what a fool I made of myself on NYE and not knowing what to do I feel awful. I feel like I'm panicking and unable to breathe most of the time. I can't eat or sleep either as I don't feel like I can talk with anyone about what is going on in my head.

1. Being the anxiety and the physical symptoms and 2. Making a move on someone but never having been with the same sex before and now im confused am I Bi or just curious? Also I just can't stop thinking about her and its driving me crazy which is upping my anxiety.

please help

Dear Ttmo~

I guess for some peole there is a comfort in having a label, for example Bi. That may suit some people, however for others the situation is not as clear-cut. I'm sure given time you will come to find who your are. I am also sure that there is no rush, no extra pressure on you to decide right now.

With the person you are thinking about - did she show no interest or are are the circumstances suitable for you to get to know this person better, to discover who she is.

When you come down it it seeing a person clearly is the start, and at the same time letting them in to see you (even if you are not sure who you are yet).

Labels can come later.

Do you think this is possible? It does take courage however that applies to anybody starting or trying to start a relationship.

For sure the incident will have left you with a great deal of anxiety and doubt, maybe even fear. You have sadly had to go though these feelings in the past reacting to other matters, can you say what helped?
