No one wants to talk anxiety :cry: I guess lol
makes me feel better knowing others are same as me & the things I feel are not a sickness but stress
if anyone wants to chat about it I sure can use the talk thanks again be on tonight hoping for a anxiety friend my family just say let it go!
If it was that easy I would have done it 4 weeks ago :lol:

Hi there,

i have small swollen nodes in my throat and neck I had them checked out by a scan and all was fine, just caused by catching constant colds and glandular fever. If your doc says it fine then they are usually right.

The thing is with anxiety you can`t seem to quiet the voice in your head telling you something wrong, any little change in your body you automatically think that something really bad is happening. Ask anyone on here they have probably self diagnosed themselves with numerous serious illnesses.

Anxiety is really hard to deal with and it does take longer to get rid of than it does to develop. You are best to try to find some relaxation that works for you, keep your mind occupied, do what you love to do and try not to focus on yourself and how you feel too much bcos then you start to fear what you feel and it starts off lots of horrible sensations. Even speak to someone about how you feel, it really does help.

Good luck

Thanks deb
yes I found the more I talk about it the more I feel better
at 1st I was keeping quite letting others think I was ok dealing with it then I started talking
well more ppl talked saying oh yes I was like that yrs back oh yes so & so
yes makes me feel a lot better knowing the things I feel are in my head not me being sick or thinking something worse would come out of it the sec doc said this is now a normal node it didn't;t go down all the way
but feels like nothing serious ( but I feel the lump creepy) so I am letting go of it but takes time
muscle tension still there but I try to think positive about it too
hope your doing ok?
I am a mom of 2 boys just 7 & 9 they need me strong & healthy for a long time yet for them I have to make myself well
any time you want to talk I am here thanks again
polly

Oh i`m so glad your feeling a bit better about it. It`s really hard with anxiety because you constantly have to try to talk yourself out of negative thinking.

I`m only 25 and have missed out on so much over the past year due to my anxiety but i`m getting better. If you need any other help just send me a message as I have tried most things and could maybe forward you some of them.
