anxiety

I'm 19 and have avoided getting my driver's license because of the anxiety I get in cars. I've been in quite a few minor accidents and scary situations so I would rather do just about anything then get in a car. It's even taken a toll on most of my friendships because I hate the car rides...

Hi there, introduction to me; I’m a 21 year old girl and my diagnoses are GAD, panic disorder, and bpd. Lately I can’t stop thinking about/questioning what everything means and why things are the way they are and it’s really freaking me out. It’s not just about the meaning of life, but...

Hi all, This is my first post on here. I've had health anxiety for as long as I can remember now, especially emetophobia. Today I had probably one of the worst HA days in a long time. It started with a headache, which normally wouldn't worry me so much, but recently there's been an outbreak of...

Hey guys, I wanna try to keep this short but it’s a lot. I’m 21, was diagnosed with GAD and then panic disorder and depression at 13. I spent a year or so in my house when I was 15 because I had severe agoraphobia. Last few years I have been able to leave the house and work and live a...

Hey, I’m new here. Just wanted a place to join a group of people who understood and appreciated current struggles I’m battling. Recently I have felt very under attack at work - I often get shouted at for things I’m “doing wrong” (mostly things that are out of my control or genuinely aren’t my...

I can't get a break. First I've got body (back) health problems, then up comes period problems, and then comes teeth problems, and now I might have eye problems as well. Each problem comes with the stress of calling/making appointments, driving to new places for tests, and the growing paranoia...

I recently signed up for this program downtown in my city but it goes to nine pm. Maybe I am crazy because I live in a pretty safe city, but I feel like am going to get mugged or killed or raped or something. It starts in October and I am scared to do it. I feel like I will go once and then die...

So I have noticed, the majority of my anxiety happens when around other people. Strangers, mostly. I am only comfortable around one person, my soul mate, but even around my family I feel so uncomfortable. I even have a difficult time eating or getting up to use the bathroom. I get so tense and I...

Hi everyone. I fear for the future because of mistakes I have made in the past. I feel like I am not capable of doing anything in life now. My mind is always fearful with the “what if” and I cannot shake it. I want to let go of the fear and just enjoy the present, but I can’t find a way. My mind...

Hello all, I am new to this. I am currently having a panic or anxiety attack. I do not feel like I can breathe. My throat/chest feet tight. I tried to fall asleep but I woke up gasping for air. Is this common? I’ve been to the hospital once already for this. I recently had a ton of blood work...

Hey guys, I’m pretty new. I really should’ve thought about joining an anxiety forum years ago when all of this first started, maybe then I wouldn’t feel so crazy and thoroughly convinced I am dying (once again). I’ve gone through an ALS scare, several cancer scares, brain tumor scares, stroke...

So I have been dating my boyfriend for almost 7 months. We are currently long distance because we attend different colleges. The last two days he has been acting weird over text like he is being short and saying i love u less and what not. He still says it and stuff but I am so worried that he...

I was laying in bed, and felt fine but I was laying here in bed and all of a sudden felt anxious and it was the normal anxious feeling I get. But after a little I feel sick like I might puke and my chest keeps getting icy hot and it keeps coming in waves. Is this anxiety?

Hi, My name is Kim. I came here to discuss a fear of mine that I am attempting to gain a grasp on. I just tonight learned that this fear has a word, thanatophobia. I am consistently worrying about losing the ones I love, I fear them dying almost daily. Does anyone have advice? It causes me to...

Sometimes my body feels like its vibrating on the inside. Like im not visibly shaking yet i feel like im trembling. Does anyone else experience that? I'm thinking it's from all the adrenaline pumping through my body everytime im nervous which is basically all day everyday. Also my main symptom...

Earlier today i had a panic attack. I've been stressing all day about going somewhere with my family and debating if i should go or not. Long story short i just decided it's best to stay home and now that my family is out i feel so sad. I'm sitting here crying in my empty house because once...

Anyone has a tip on how to manage anxiety-induced tension headaches? Painkillers do nothing, which is how I usually know they're anxiety related because if I have a usual headache not caused by anxiety, pills do work. I've had daily headaches three years ago when I was at a stressful job...

Hi guys I have been suffering with anxiety for some years now. I had my biggest panic attack 4 weeks ago and since then i have been in and out of ED with more panic attacks and high state of anxiety. My first panic attack 4 weeks ago consisted of Numbness, leg weakness and more of the common...

I don’t know why, but I’ve convinced myself I have some sort of brain tumor. I’m usually always dizzy, and sometimes it’s so bad I have to lay down. But this morning I woke up it was like when you spin around and then stand still and the room is moving. It lasted about 10 seconds but it scared...

Big hello from New Zealand to my fellow anxiety warriors. I have suffered from anxiety (predominantly health anxiety) for half my life which sounds like a lot however i'm only 24. The past month has been extremely difficult for me and im nearing my wits end with suicide becoming a more and...
