Hi,
I am new too this and need some confirmation that everything I am feeling is that I am not going mad.
About 3 months ago I started having bad anxiety ( thought I was really sick ) I have never really had anxiety like this in my life and it stressed out more as I didn't know why it was happening so I worried about all the things I was feeling. At the height of it I had the shakes, wasn't eating, hot/cold, heat pounding, hyper and really tired, bad insomnia elbows/jaw would feel weird numb, just felt absolutely awful have never felt like that in my life, felt like I was going crazy and was really struggling.
Since I have managed to calm down more ( Am going to see a psychologist ) I am still struggling about whether what I am feeling is normal, my heart still has palpitations often enough ( its driving me boncers and what bothers me though most ) seems worse when I wake up, getting stomach aches, sometimes my chest feels tight like after doing a work out. I guess I worry that it is not the anxiety, I suppose I go around in a bit of a circle.
I used to be able to relax quiet well, now I have trouble relaxing and just getting into my reading or whatever else.
I think my anxiety is just caused by stress and hoping I am just having a "moment" but just struggling whether what I am feeling is anxiety.
