Hi, welcome
You have written in here so you are indeed desperate to find answers to these problems. This really is a fine example of needing medical help, please attend your GP or hospital as soon as possible.

Wow I feel very concerned now
iv been to the doctors many times in the past for all kinds of symptoms and they have never found anything. There’s no point even going there anymore
im looking for reassurance. If there’s anyone that can say “yes I get that. It’s just anxiety” that would help.
Now I’m worried it’s physical and even if I go to the doctor they won’t find anything.....

Iv seen 3 psychologists in the past
Even they were a bit confused with some of my symptoms....
it’s so hard. The doctors can’t find anything wrong with me so I guess it’s anxiety.. but then the people with anxiety can’t relate. I am terrified now

Hi again
Im sorry if you misunderstood my post. In your original post there was no mention at all that you have had extensive medical treatment. It read you had zero actually. You do have 2500 characters so there us enough room to make your posts linger to include important information.
As we are non professional medical staff, in fact we are peer advisers with mental illness, we cant diagnose. How can I reassure you ?
Your post indicates desperation so my post was very relevant.
If you require reassurance from experience in anxiety the following threads can give that. Just google them and read the first post. Alternatively we have a search function at the top of your screen.
BeyondblueTopic anxiety, how I eliminated it
Beyondblue Topic meditation-words of wisdom- he help me for 25 years, Maharaji
Beyondblue Topic if all else fails, be radical
Beyondblue Topic anxiety, plan your future
BeyondblueTopic meltdown, back to basics
BeyondblueTopic what life can be like at the end of the tunnel
BeyondblueTopic anxiety, how people view you
BeyondblueTopic kmow your limits
Beyondblue Topic worry worry worry
Beyondblue Topic upset? And desperate...some ideas
BeyondblueTopic best attitude for recovery
I'll be happy to discuss any of those threads if you want to but I repeat, if you have major symptoms then seek professional mefical help.

Hi Jaysmit,
Welcome to the forum. I am sorry that you are having such a hard time finding the right solution to help you. If what you are experiencing is health anxiety, it is really common. If you use the search feature above and search 'health anxiety' you will find a lot of other people on the forum with physical symptoms that come from anxiety and worry. It sounds like you have had a lot of support from both GPs and Psychologists in the past and I wonder if there was a time where your symptoms improved? As both JessF and whiteknight have mentioned, keeping in contact with your GP about your symptoms is important and is particularly important if you feel unsafe such as when you are driving a car as you have described.
Having anxiety and panic symptoms is common and there are many treatment and supports available. You mentioned you have seen three psychologists in the past. Sometimes it can take a few tries to get the right connection with a therapist. You could talk to your Doctor about other options that are available to you in your area. Group therapy programs that support people with anxiety are often available (depending on where you live) if this was something that interested you.
JessF has mentioned some great strategies and I will add a few more. There is a technique called Mindfulness. I wonder if you have heard about this? If not, you could look up a site called Smiling Mind which has helped a lot of people learn this technique so they can self manage some of their symptoms a different way. In some communities you can take a Mindfulness Course which is offered over a period of weeks.
I would also recommend writing a daily journal of the symptoms that you're feeling each day and when these occur. This can help you and your health care team identify triggers and solutions to the symptoms you are experiencing.
If your symptoms are too overwhelming and you need help or you feel unsafe, taking a trip to the hospital or visiting a doctor is important. Sometimes getting the right answers to your symptoms takes persistence. You can always reach out and call the Beyond Blue support line 24/7 on 1300 22 4636 and have a chat if you think this might be helpful.
Please keep us posted on how you are going,
Wishing you the best possible outcome,
Nurse Jenn
