its hard to belive this is anxiety going on its like your head is foggy and you cant focus on one thing i cant sleep then i wake up all hours of the night,all the pains that im having it just keeps me so worried about my health and life its like im waiting on something bad to happen or i feel like something bad is going to happen,i think god every day that i wake up agin but then i have to go all day feeling like crap and hurting and this feeling in my gut like butterflys that come and go.when i talk to people and tell them what is going on with me and how i feel they look at me like im crazy,now i feel like im crazy or lossing my mind im always checking my pulse and blood pressure feeling around on my body for lumps or something out of place thinking the worse thing is going to happen even the 2nd doctor i went and seen talked to me like im crazy he told me he has a p.h.d in anatomy and none of my symptoms add up to having anything physically wrong with me and with my blood work nothing metabolically wrong with me other than anxiety its so rough.........

There are sooo many people dealing with what you are!  The doctor that was so rude to you needs to be kicked to the curb!  I don't care how many letters he has after his name, they still call the medical student that graduated at the BOTTOM of his class doctor!  Just the fact that he felt the need to tell you that he has  a P.H.D. says he's egotistical and is trying to convince you of how capable he is.  Seek out the help of a psychiatrist, this is their specialty and they hear what you're going thru every day, and can refer you to the proper therapist, and are most knowledgeable when it comes to medications.  Anxiety can cause so many symptoms, what's very important is that once you know your symptoms are being caused by anxiety, ACCEPT this.  Accepting that we are okay is difficult, and always remember that this fear feeds our anxiety which results in a viscious cycle.  I applaud the efforts on your part, and you have a very wise and supportive friend!  Therapy will do what your friend was saying as well.  Often our anxiety has a root cause and with therapy you can find out what that is, deal with it and move on. You are never alone, and we are always here for you.  Stay with us as you work to get your life back, and keep up the good work on your part!  Take care.

You are NOT alone. I have the exact same feelings and I just want to curl up in bed and hide. You are not crazy! you perfectly described anxiety and it ***** big time. I have found help, but i really had to go out of my comfort zone. I saw a psychiatrist who put me on the correct meds and dosage, and I set an appt for a therapist (i've seen 3 times). and finally after about 4 weeks, I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. the mornings are the worst, and still keep waking up thoughout the night, but a lot of the symptoms have lessened. the heart palps have started to go away in the afternoons, I still have despair, but the psychiatrist says that's the last thing that leaves, ughh. It will all go away, you need to see a dr that deals with anxiety not a medical dr, no matter how many phd's they have, and the thing about you thinking something is wrong with your health is normal for anxiety. Hang in there. keep talking to us, we are listening and know what you are going through. God bless.
