Anxiety or ?

Hi Guys, 

Just wanted some feedback on anxiety symptoms. 

I'll try to be brief cause I tend to waffle on! 

- sometimes I find it hard to concentrate on conversations when I'm anxious. 

-can you obbsess over a symptom that much, that you convince yourself you have it? (Eg: last night I obbsessed over weather I had scizophrenia so much, listened for sounds, got no sleep, then in the morning laying with my son in the early hours, thought I heard someone (male) speak to me, when I fully woke up all I could hears was my son snoring in the same tone, dream? Anxiety is what the BB line said. 

- feeling a bit like anti social. 

-so bloody tired

- when I walked past a girl at work yesterday I said bye and in my head I'm like , you awful person, but I don't even dislike her (at one stage I wasnt a fan)! 

Am I crazy?

Hi Bluey Moon,

You are not crazy. It sounds as though you do have general anxiety and also a bit of health anxiety. I suggest you visit your GP and discuss your symptoms and concerns with them. Having trouble sleeping is frustrating, and can make anxiety symptoms feel more frustrating.

I hope you can get some suggestions from your GP

Best wishes,

SM

I spoke to my mental health team because I was beside myself worried again! And again they reassured me it is my anxiety, nothing more, nothing less! 

dear Bluey moon, I'm sorry I must have broken the cardinal rules once again and that's why most of my reply has been edited, that's 2 in a week, I'll have to be more careful. Geoff.
