I hear ya Posted: 01-23-08 02:41am
I too have the crawling in the face and
tingling in my hands, feet and face. I
also have trouble getting a deep breath or
feel like i am always trying to take deep
breaths during the day or yawning alot to
get a good gasp of air. I also can't
sleep at night cause when I lay down and
close my eyes i get this wierd feeling and
jolt up like i was falling. I don't take
meds but i should. I need to talk to a
therapist also and get some things off my
chest which i think might help. I have
way more symptoms but those are the ones
that bug me the most and scare me. I
think drinking alcohol alot might have
something to do with it but im not for
sure. I don't think im a depressed person
but am not where i really want to be in
life right now but am getting there. That
could also be the reason. This is a crazy
disorder and really would like to get it
fixed. Especially the head games I play
with my self in a sense of always thinking
I have a disease. like if i hear a cancer
blog on the radio i start to panic and
turn the station or if i hear about a
death or anything dramatic I start to
think i don't want to die, etc and it goes
on everyday. thanks for listening to me
ramble. I apologize.

crazy symptoms Posted: 01-23-08 09:07am
yeah im on propanalol 40mg 3 times a day
and that gives me bad side effects aswell
its got to the point that i dont know
whats a side effect of the drugs and whats
a anxiety symptom! as some of the symptoms
are the same its quiet awful at the min
every little tingle or pain and im
thinking in a downward spiral about
possible serious conditions/diseases etc
i also have high blood pressure and my
anxiety loves to feed of this aswell i
really am sick of the whole thing lately
sorry for ranting.

so glad I found you guys!!!!!!! Posted: 02-14-08 11:46am
I just have to say that I have every
single symptom listed!!! I've had most of
these for 10 years. I am fricken sick and
tired of this crap!!!!!!!! You know your
friends and family don't understand and
constantly fluff you off by saying "oh
stop, it's all in your head" OMG people,
how many times have we heard this??? Then
we feel like we are alone in our own
little messed up worlds because no one
around us can relate. I am so glad there
are so many others out there with the same
problems I have. I hate feeling so
different, I look at others and wish I
could be "normal" like them. I take Xanax
almost daily, and I guess it helps, but
like the rest of you I'm sure, I find
myself worried that the side effects of
that, and EVERY OTHER FRICKEN DRUG<
SPRAY< CREAM< FRICKEN EVEN FOOD AND
DRINK, etc etc etc may make me worse off
in the long run. I've gotten so bad at
times that I'm afraid to eat anything.
Always fricken afraid. Gosh this sucks
doesn't it? Anyway, I recently started
seeing a therapist, and it does seem to be
helping a little so I definately reccomend
it. I don't have health insurance(because
I can't hold down a job, OR DRIVE without
panicing dammit) but the therapy is free
through the state. anyhoo, I pray alot,
sometimes all day, every day, it does help
honestly, I found this book one day on
the ground, a sign from God I'm sure, it's
called The Word for your every need its
by harrison house. It quotes scriptural
promises from God and it will help you.
There is even a section on anxiety, and
get this people, THAT WAS THE ONLY PAGE
WITH THE CORNER TURNED!!!! I know God
wanted me to find help with this book.
Um, I'm just telling you guys what helps
me in hopes you can get some relief from
me, since I've been dealing with this for
so many years. Oh, when you start to feel
a little wierd, you know what I mean guys,
go to the bathroom, get a washcloth and
run in under cold water, then keep wiping
your face and back of neck with it. It
works, something about doing that calms
me, not sure why. Also, things as simple
as reminding yourself there is nothing
seriously wrong with you, and believe me
there isn't, actually works. YOu don't
know how many damn times I've had that
stupid phone in my hand just ready to dial
911, omg you know what I mean don't you,
but I never do, and I'm still here guys.
You must listen to me about that, it
ALWAYS ALWAYS passes. I still have to
convince myself of these things, it's not
always easy, but, stop concentrating on
these "symptoms" okay? Try to find
something to do to distract your thinking,
call someone and chit chat, writing works
great, like journal type stuff, do
crossword or wordsearch puzzles, knit,
draw, color, go for a walk, clean your
room/house, do anything but dwell on your
thoughts please. It may take a little bit
but before you know it you will forget all
about your anxiety and it will pass.
Remember, I stuggle with this every day of
my life, but I am beating it with the help
of all of the above things combined. Our
brains need to be filled with other things
so we can push our delusional thoughts
out. I still have problems driving so if
anyone has any input on that let me know
please. I hope to God I help some of you,
I would love to know if I have. Please
post. God bless you and remember, pray
pray pray, and if you don't believe, start
, because God is the answer to everything,
and get that book guys, seriously. K,
RELAX, and try to have a sense of humor
about things, it seems to help to be able
to laugh about it sometimes. Because,
guys, it really is ridiculous to know that
our habits of thinking is what causes
this. Oh, and try to check out Joel
Osteen on Sunday mornings, or read his
books, or Joyce Meyer. Good luck, practice
some of the things I've suggested and
CHILL and LAUGH!!!!!

When i open my eyes back up i get the
feeling like the tightning of the throat
and blurred vision and lightheaded and
always taking deep breaths. Can this
happen every time i am going to sleep if I
don't get meds or help?

I also have anxiety GAD (generalized
anxiety disorder 24/7). I have never had
a panic attack, thank goodness. The
trembling inside, uncontrollable crying
spells, insomnia, depression, fatigue,
sooo weak, feeling of losing my mind, etc.
is what I am experiencing. I feel so
sorry for my husband. When I do fall
asleep, I often wake up sobbing and
trembling! He holds me very tight and
tells me we will get the help I need. It
helps so much to have a supportive
husband, but then it also makes me feel
guilty, because he has to get up and go to
work at 5:30 the next morning. I have
always worked, but recently had to quit my
job after 14 years of employment there. I
have become pretty much home-bound and I
do not trust myself to drive. My husband
and daughter have to take me to my doctor
appointments. I have tried almost every
antidepressant/anxiety medication there is
and nothing seems to help or will make my
symptoms worse. I am now seeing an
acupuncture therapist. I have only had
one visit - 5 to go. I hope this works -
especially for my husband. I too, fear I
have some kind of debilitating disease. I
have heard of so many misdiagnosed cases!

Anxiety? Posted: 05-02-08 09:34am
Hi, these symptoms really help me feel
better because over the past 2 months I
have had constant breathing difficulties,
day and night, to the point where i feel
like i have to concentrate on my breathing
all the time. I always feel shortness of
breath and my doctor says there is nothing
in my x-rays and my lungs are clear. I
went on some other site where people were
saying this will never go away, and now i
dont sleep at night and just sit there
scared thinking this is what i have to go
through every single day. I have always
had trouble sleeping and i work really
hard in school but i was normally a happy
person, until this happened.
Can someone plz tell me if they had the
same symptoms and that they went away
because i really need to hear that.
Thanks.

Thanks for posting this. I've had anxiety
for awhile now but lately it's been
getting really bad. I'm having worse and
worse anxiety attacks. I've had so many of
the symptoms you posted and no matter how
hard I try to tell myself it's "all in my
head" it never helps. I haven't seeked
treatment because I thought I could handle
it and it's not something I'm comfortable
discussing, it's like I'm embarassed by it
but given the severity of some recent
panic attacks I think I'll just have to
get over that and finally get some
professional help. Your list is helpful
though, it is reassuring to know I'm not
the only one who feels these things!
