Can't your partner calm you down ? I'd go on YouTube and listen to some really uplifting music it works everytime for me without fail , try it for yourself. There is nothing to fear because fear is just a symptom the mind has made up...

The doctors will understand because they are trained for these situations. It's hard at first but you feel so much better have you ever been diagnosed with mental health issues ?

Anxiety lowers the immune system. Write down everything that's wrong and go to the doctors:)

They've said I'm suffering from Health Anxiety an depression, but I cnt take the meds Dave, I'm petrified I dod take citalopram for a week but my side affects were so bad I stoppped they've now prescribed sertraline an I cnt take them! I do take 2mg of diazepam if I get bad but won't atm because I'm taking paracetamol an ibrufoen for a water infection and infection in my gum, I'm to scared to go an get antibiotics plus I think I have a hernia, and too scared to tell them about that! I'm still waiting for my appointment for CBT but it won't be for 8 weeks they said! I'm scared Dave x

You come across as a bit mentally unstable to me , i'm not being rude , maybe you should try to relax a bit more. I get the impression you don't follow advice because maybe one minute you think there's nothing wrong with you then next you're falling apart , am I wrong ? I don't mean to get personal but something could not be right in your personal life such as relationship , job etc so you've created this as to avoid facing up to the problems. I'm sorry if that's harsh but i'm not meaning to be rude

paula78
24-03-14, 07:44
Thanks Phuzella
I didn't know that! And yes I will I instantly feel reassured knowing that anxiety may be the cause, I really didn't know it lowered our immune
I have felt dreadful for 3 months an it just gets worse x

Phuzella

Yes it eats up your vitamin reserves, anxiety makes you feel like not eating, hence less vitamins intake, vicious circle. Honest go see the doc, have a chat:)

Just saw the hernia bit, even if you have got one, they're fixable:) What makes you think you have one?

I'mdave27
24-03-14, 07:54
So you live up north ? I'd be in a wreck too if I lived up north lol only joking. When I was young I used to think I had everything wrong with me I haven't grown out of it though I've just come to accept that if something goes wrong , so be it. Anxiety and worry are this countries number one problem now it's unbelievable

Phuzella
24-03-14, 07:58
It's the society we live in Dave, unfortunately:)

24-03-14, 08:29
Well done. I'm a southerner yes but like you I hate our attitude towards life it's all work and no play it's no wonder we have an epidemic of anxiety , it's crazy.

Phuzella

Yes dave its so fast down here, and I've just read that phuzella, so much I need to learn about anxiety, maybe I should take supplements too when I come back from my appointment I'm gonna sit out in my garden and do some planting I think :) xxx

Whereabouts down south dave? A good thing about the south is the weather is slightly warmer :)

Phuzella
24-03-14, 08:49

Sun and gardening perfect therapy:)

I'mdave27
24-03-14, 09:21
I think sometimes looking through all the threads on here don't help because after a while it becomes a trigger for our own anxiety that's why I avoid doing it , I try anyway. I've often looked at threads then thought 'omg i've go that' so my anxiety kicks off big time because we're all sharing problems let's face it there's bound to be negative energy within this group

Phuzella

Hi guys, well I went the doctors an it went okay-ish I'm having blood tests on the 4th april and have a appt on the 11th for results then I have a appt for the 15th for some lung test, its all really for peace of mind she said my hb an bp was fine an that I have a slight water infection but hasn't given me antibiotics, I do have a appt for wenedsay at the dentist as I do have a infection in my gum, the gp said its all down to my anxiety an that in return the infection feeds my anxiety so I'm going round in circles at the min, later this afternoon I was terrible an my hb spiked quite high an breathing has been terrible since so I've had to use diazepam and get the paper bag out lol, god the things we go through! I wouldn't wish anxiety disorder on anyone! Thanks for asking guys its good to know your all there when I'm down sending u all virtual hugs xxxx
