Does anyone else feel their pulse, worry about the heart rate. Constantly worry about feeling bad? I have anxiety now and can feel it and it feels bad! I just wanna cry. Everyday is a struggle.
I know how you feel. I truly understand that feeling. Just sit down, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and focus on your breath as you inhale and exhale. Don't engage in conversation with your mind because it will only increase your anxiety. What is cause this feeling now?
@Anonymous here Thank you! ❤️ I can’t remember specifically now at this time. Now I am obsessing over something else! 😞
@Perfect Imperfectionist You're welcome. I understand. Remember you get better soon . Everything gonna be okay.
@Anonymous here Thank you! ❤️ I’m actually having anxiety now. No idea why. Got dizzy, and I had some ocd beforehand.
@Perfect Imperfectionist I'm guessing you're thinking about the past or future, any memory, or any plan, and it makes you anxious. Stay focused on the present. Take a deep breath and practice this. And maybe need to somthing to eat if your blood pressure is low and feel dizzy
Yup! Its so hard bc everything comes back fine but i cannot let go of these worries.
@theanxiousgogettergirl It’s so scary! ❤️ I hope you feel better soon!
I know how you feel....I'm always checking my blood pressure and my body temperature to make sure I don't have a fever.I start to worry about a physical symptom I am having and it gradually starts escalating until I feel like I'm going to pass out. It's awful to go through it and I often wonder do other people ever feel this way? Everything always passes if I hang on but it's horrible.
@Anonymous Wow! I used to check my blood pressure about every 30 seconds. This lasted quite some time!! I hope you are at peace and calm at this moment! God Bless us all!
@Anonymous Fevers when I’m sick scare the shit out of me. Tonight I am worried about tonsil stone holes in my mouth because of pain that’s sharp coming and going. I worry so badly about dying!
Sometimes crying genuinely helps me. I worry about getting worried when I'm not already worrying. It's frustrating.
How do you sit with anxiety? I wanna check my pulse over and over again. I dunno what caused my anxiety. Now I am just sitting here. Ugh! I feel crazy!
I am trying to see if there are others like me. For the past 12 years, I’ve had crippling Anxiety that leads to intense panic attacks. I’ve been in and out of Ambulances and ER rooms and have called 911 several times. The panic is that intense. I can be just driving down the road and out of no where, BOOM! Hit by the anxiety bus. Most of the time it leads to me panicking, thinking I’m going to die or something is fatally wrong with me. The fear is so intense that I can only find a fraction of calmness by consistently checking my blood pressure, putting on a pulsometer and even checking my blood sugar until it passes. I’m not even a diabetic. I’m always having intrusive thoughts that doctors can’t even fix me. I’ve never met anyone else like me. I feel so scared sometimes that I’m going to loose my mind and that I’m going crazy and will end up in a straight jacket. Then I get another attack just thinking about that as well. Starting new medications freak me out too. If I experience ANY minor side effect, I immediately panic and freak out. I’m being so held back by this . This is a constant obsession that I can’t shake. It’s like I walk hand in hand with Anxiety and panic. Anyone else ever had these issues?
I have gotten maybe about 8 EKG’s within the lest 2 years? I’ve also gotten an echo done, and I got a heart monitor to track my heart over the course of maybe 2 weeks, back last year. Even though I have been to the emergency room so many times because of panic attacks that I thought were heart attacks, and went with a Cardiologist I still obsess and worry. I always think that I am going to develop some kind of heart problem after getting the tests done. Like if they’re just suddenly going to appear/my heart will suddenly have an issue. I especially get nervous when the pain is in the center of my chest + I get a tight feeling like I have pressure on my chest and can’t breathe completely. Please someone share their experience of how they controlled their health anxiety, especially if it’s related to this.
