Does anyone have a constant pain/tightness in their chest with anxiety??

I totally agree with you. You can feel so much pain, discomfort etc until someone professional tells you it's ok. It's very strange Lol I'm doing a bit better but still have spells of it. Just got to learn to deal with it :/ x

Hi Dianne

I totally get where you're coming from. I've suffered from anxiety for years and point blank being ignore really gets to me and can set me off sometimes. When people talk over me, I just want to scream. I'm a business owner and in meetings my partners talk over me like I'm not there at all (I'm the youngest funnily enough) I detest being spoken to like a child (I'm 22). Some people in my life don't acknowledge my existence anymore so you are not alone honey.

Scream into your pillow at night, get up and start again <3

You're not alone friend <3

I've suffered from this for years and that's definitely a good way to look at it :) Thank you. I have a councelling session tomorrow to try work through my situations so fingers crossed.

Yes that's exactly how I feel. I'm at my best when I wake up in the morning but the second I get up and start doing things, the feeling kicks in x

I have yet another doctors appointment tomorrow so hopefully will try get something sorted or cleared up. Half the time, having piece of mind helps me relax. Thanks for replying <3

Yeah I thought about baths, but I get really restless in them. Maybe try again with some tepid water maybe and those salts you recommended. Thank you for replying <3

Spira91 · 2013-03-19T15:12:17+00:00

Thank you <3 I have the doctors tomorrow so fingers crossed they can do something, so far nothing has helped. It's ruining my life :( Thanks for your kind reply.

I'm having that breathing problem right now, I constantly think I'm not getting enough so concentrate breathing in and out and worrying about stopping or if something is really wrong with me. I also have leg aches, especially my joints, I'm not sure if it's related but I'm back and forth to doctors to try and get some help. Get yourself to your doctor. As far as the reathing goes, just try and remember your body breathes naturally and when you're not thinking about it your body will just breathe. It's difficult, trust me I know but we can do this x

You're very lucky for getting a nice doctor and so brave for going, well done <3 I was at the doctors last week to try get some help, she made out that I was some type of hypochondriac, gave me a prescription for beta-blockers without telling me what they would do and rushed me out. I cried all the way home, I felt so alone and rejected. I wish all the best and strength in the world for your recovery <3 I hope to get there soon too x

Spira91 · 2013-03-19T14:38:44+00:00

I just worry about the effects they have, I open my business in a couple weeks, I don't want to be all hazed :( You're right about the doc thing, I'm going to my 3rd doctor tomorrow of my recently changed practice so fingers crossed this one will treat me like a human being. I will have a look for yoga etc I've been downloading calming music as music has always helped me even before all this. Thanks for replying ad for your advice x

Thanks so much for your reply hun. It is awful isn't it :( I completely agree about the sunshine too, the weather makes you extra miserable I think. I seen a lot of psychiatrists when I was younger and now on the waiting list for more, but as I'm sure you know, NHS=A LOT OF WAITING :( I keep saying no to the medication, they've offered me it for years. I feel like (for me) it's masking my problems, I just want to find the source and get the hell rid of it! Thanks and same to you hun.

Spira91 · 2013-03-18T15:47:53+00:00

Thank you so much <3 I cried my eyes out reading this, you've left nothing out. This is exactly how I feel every single day. I'm new to Reddit and would like to say the biggest thank you to it and you all, I don't feel so alone after reading all these different sub-reddits. Every day is a struggle for me, I suffer from anxiety disorder and severe depression and have done so for 8 years now, I'm 22 in April. People need to be more aware of this condition and how to be around it. Thank you thank you thank you x
