Hi Lynnp. When i read your message...i related to it exactly. Lynn, you are not alone. I feel the same and i'm sure many others do too. I swear, i feel the exact same. Its interesting because today, as i was driving, i was thinking the exact same thing to myself. I'm SO INTO MY OWN HEALTH and i'm monitoring every change in my breathing and heart beat that i forget everyone around me. I feel like I just dont' want to talk to anybody. My fiance is SO SUPPORTIVE and i love him to death. But i keep fearing that one day he will just get fed up and leave me. I feel soooo insecure about myself. I just keep worrying about myself and i'm afraid that i'm not able to give him any attention. I want a normal life.....i want normal thoughts....i want to be the person i dream of being....the old me. And i'm so sure that you want this too..to be your old self again. This anxiety has also caused me to feel down. I never believed in depression.....but i'm starting to question whether i'm depressed or not. I do feel sad all the time because of these negative thoughts. I try to control them.......but its hard when i'm feeling as though i cannot breath. I'm trying my best. U are not alone Gina. And dont' worry, nothing is wrong with you. The doctors didnt' miss anythign. And i have to tell myself that too, cause i think like you. We ARE FINE AND HEALTHY. Here is something that my homeopathic doctor told me that i will never forget: " Anxiety is NOT YOU. It is just an ordeal that you are dealing with now. And it will soon come to an end." We have to start detaching this idea that we are anxious/panicy people. We are not. We are just dealing with some anxiety now. and i promise that soon we will all be free from it. Just hang in there. This too shall pass.

Hi Lynnp i have learnt anxiety comes and goes and though in the moment it feels rotten it will subside again perhaps you should see your doctor and tell him/her how you are feeling.Is there anything going on in your life that is causing you stress?anything that has changed can play on you subconsious and feed your anxiety so try to have limited if any stresses in your life.Take care.

hi all really need some advice right now i have been doing realy well had no panoc attacks for about 1 month now but my anxiety is really bad constant chest pain,my whole body aches all the time, i feel if my heart is just going to stop sometimes such a weird feeling.my main concern is i have never suffered depression but iam feeling very low the past few weeks,i feel like asking my husband to leave because i do not feel i give him any attention or show him much affection he is so sweet he never complains about how iam he is very supportive but now iam feeling very guilty because iam so into myself about how i feel all the time.i feel like iam in constant fear about what if the doctors have missed something and iam going to die,surley no one can possibly feel ill every day.iam on antidepresants and have been since january i feel i get them to a certain level then these awful symptoms are back but even worse, they have never totally gone but have beign managable.why does it keep getting worse.iam at a loss now as what to do i have finished the program here and i feel just the same do you think maybe i did it wrong.usually when iam at work i feel okay but the past few weeks that has not even helped.do you think i should get more tests again incase they missed something the first time.please some one tell me what to do iam frightened to sleep incase i do not wake again sorry to be so negetive but i just feel so fed up is this what the rest of my life will be like god i pray not please anyone with some advise write back ,
