Anxiousness


10 years ago 0 169 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I went to a psychsistrist and was diagnosed with illness anxiety disorder or health anxiety. I read up on the disorder and I couldn't be more relieved and agreeable. I thought I had something else and he did say it was not severe all though at times I feel it is. The last three days have been real hard as I get anxious here and there and I feel very panicky but doing my coping and thoughts changing that I learned in this program makes it not go in to a full panic attack although I know one wrong thought or fear it will blow up to a panic attack. 

It also was my first day of my monthly visitor so I'm not sure if hormones or menstruated cycle makes anxiety worse.  I thought I've been doing so good untill yesterday.  Yesterday really discouraged me and made me feel like crap all over again. When I drive now I feel like floating and unsteady and it scares me, my vision seems weird behind the wheel, no not sure if its anxiety related.  I also felt fizzy and unsteady yesterday that caused me more anxiety. Now I feel like I'm back to square one and not making progress. 

Can anyone help? Are these symptoms of anxiety?  How can they stop?
