More fear rearing up

[Grace360]

Symptoms I've been feeling today and its sending me and my anxiety through the roof. Wondering if anyone else has felt these sensations. Yes I need reassurance.

- body feeling weak, sore, tired
- body feels hollow as your breathing
- derealizeation I.e nothing feels real
- feels like you could stop breathing any moment
- fear about organs shutting down
- fear of passing out or a sudden death situation
- this morning my breasts didn't feel attached to my body. Odd but it happened.

Anyone else? I felt that today at work and still feeling it and its worrying me so much.

Yes I need reassurance

No. The repeated cycle of seeking reassurance makes you believe you need it, but you really don't. As you can tell, it only compounds anxiety and makes things worse in the long run. What you need, IMO, is to work on altering your thought processes.

Also, the symptoms are not causing your anxiety. Your anxiety is causing the symptoms.

Perfect response. What he said is very true.

Check out the list of 100 anxiety symptoms, all the ones you ask about are on it. You’ve asked about all of these before. The reassurance doesn’t help, as Binn said, it is a vicious cycle that keeps you coming back for more but doesn’t relieve your worries. Work on the anxiety and these will all go away.

I really sympathize with you however this reassurance is only temporary. You ask if we feel those symptoms, the same symptoms, every time... and we all confirm we do. I would strongly recommend you getting to your therapy sooner then later. Does it offer the same temporary relief when you go in your history and read the confirmations from posts before?
