Anxietys fatigue and constant worry.. all the time

[Grace360]

Another update on never-ending complaints of anxiety, and especially ones having to do with my health worry. Its so constant. Aches and pains are what really get me. The ones that shoot up the side of my neck, sharp ones. And then when my legs feel wobbly and week. And then when I breathe! Shortness of breath as established, and then at times my chest feels like its opening up more. Or that my breath is going through one particular tube, not my throat. Like there's some.. hole. Everything feels foreign. Even my tongue has retained the feeling that the top of my taste buds have been stripped. Or numbness, odd. And then constant worry about an aneurysem. So much that it's quite annoying at this point.
Mostly it's just those feelings. Like I feel like liquid just burst in my head. Or somethings flowing. Or something isn't.. right. I worry like that so constantly. I'm only 15. And yet here I am, worrying so much.

I'm going through a bad anxiety streak right now but I want you to know that you are not alone, Grace. I think your anxiety is causing you to be very perceptive about things happening to your body and sometimes that makes the anxiety even worse. I don't know if you know to try breathing exercises but perhaps that. Your physical symptoms aren't all in your head though. Perhaps ask your parents to make an appointment for you to get things checked out. It sounds like a sprain of some sort (which isn't life threatening) but I'm not sure. I just want you to breathe, take things one moment at a time. It's going to be okay.

Thank you. I really need the reassurance. And that's the thing. Ive been to the doctor and gotten so many tests. Blood tests for my lung and heart, EKG, chest x ray, CT of my
Y brain even. All of the sort.

It's easy sometimes for us to convince ours

Thank you. I really need the reassurance. And that's the thing. Ive been to the doctor and gotten so many tests. Blood tests for my lung and heart, EKG, chest x ray, CT of my

I know it's easy for us sometimes to convince ourselves that what's happening means the end of the world. When you have those moments of fear, just remember that you've been tested. That if something were going wrong, even something minute, things would have shown up. It helps of you have physical documentation of the tests that you've taken so you can hold them in your hands and know it's all okay. Anxiety more than likely magnifies simple physical things and turns them into something life threatening in your mind.

Once, I had a sinus infection and it made a clicking sound through my nose. Naturally, I convinced myself that I had some form of throat cancer. I believed in it so much that I set an appointment at a doctor and was prepared to call out of work and ride the bus to this doctor. When I settled down and realized the sound was gone, I realized how urgent things had seemed when I was in the midst of anxiety. Even now, it's come back and is at it's worse for me, I'm trying to reconcile that I am having a reaction to fear.

It's going to be okay, Grace. You're not alone and you're not crazy or annoying or anything for feeling what you feel.

Thanks so much for that reassurance. I have a very hard time finding that sometimes, and often worry myself into being lazy. Not planning and doing the things I love to do because of all the worry. It really does feel like some illness. Plus with my physical symptoms. Physical fatigue and wobbly legs. It all adds up. All in my little 15 year old body.
