Fear and anxiety problems
Hello,
Well, here goes my story. I am a 23 year old woman and I suffer from panic attacks and lots of anxiety. I'm, definetly concerned for my health since I am so young and sometimes, I even think I'm going crazy for really minor things going on with myself.
I over think things to the extreme, I have lost peace I used to have with myself and I'm so paranoid that it's just so hard to keep up with. On the outside, you could see me and I'd be a normal girl, but when I'm alone, I feel lost and I just keep over thinking about things [let's say, my stomach hurts, I start thinking I might have cancer or if I've been with my boyfriend [not actually having sex] I become obsessed with the idea that I might be pregnant [which I don't want to be]... stuff like that are abnormal and very serious]. I've been developing a certain fear of sex too because I'm so afraid of having a baby, it's crazy. This really saddens me a lot.
I went to see a friend who is a psychologist and she told me the best thing I could do is seek help because it is in fact, not normal to be so overly stressed like me and I'm so scared this could be a major problem in the future.
Fear and anxiety just fills my body every single day and I just don't know how to make myself more comfortable or less stressed. I just keep suffering and I've had it. I always have stomach aches and such, and it just gets worse since I start thinking the most outrageous things...
I know I need help and I know that I must seek a doctor, but has anyone suffered from something similar?
Thank you.

my iron isnt good either but stopped taking the tablets because it made my stomach feel weird and then i would worry more and then i would get a racing heart and so on and so on. i always worry there's sth serious with mew usually with my heart. i want to beat this naturally but at the moment i am taking 2 0.25 alprazolam pills to help with night time because when it gets dark its worse. anyone heard about rabenhorst plus juices?there is one that's good for iron?anyone know if its ok for the stomach?
the racing heart really is horrible i,m nearly 50 think it might be the start of my menopause what an awful thought ..i have always suffered panic attacks and anxiety but this has kept me awake for nights . had blood tests my blood count is 8 which isnt good so taking strong iron tabs but i think i have cancer or leukemia and going to die a from a long nasty disease anyone else had this ???????????
yes i have had this to its such a nasty scary thing ... everyone says to calm down and its all in my mind . but at 3 in the morning wen there is nobody about it feels very real .. just wish there was something i could do in the middle of the night or during the day i could do to relax and not worry , i understand how every one feels just knowing we,re not alone helps
Yes I have suffered from similar things from age 12 and didn't treat it and now I have generalized anxiety disorder. What you described is very common with anxiety but seeing a doctor is crucial to prevent GAD or more severe anxiety.

hi there, you are not alone
it happened to me a couple of weeks ago too. before i was just a normal girl 34, and my neck was hurting so went to a couple of doctors took some pills, the last pill gave me fast heartbeating and send me to the er. by the time i got there i was more relaxed they said it was the pill it had caffeine and coteine or sth and that i should take sth for my stomach and send me home. since then ive been having panic attacks mostly at nights because i think im gonna have a heart attack. i might feel a slight pain in my chest , i think its my heart,if my stomach hurts still thinks its my heart, if my arm feels a little numb i think its my heart.and this thing its constant morning noon night.i went to the er 4 times i had 5 cardiograms all were normal but still this thing i feel doesnt go away.i try really hard to think positive to not think about it to breath slowly but its hard. i hate this feeling and i hate the fast heartbeating.its really scary.and now as soon as it gets dark i think i get depressed as well.
what i take is a 0.25 nalion pill in the morning and 2, 0.25 nalion pills at night which is a benzo as they call it.but it doesnt really help. but ive been also told that its really a small dose.i mean i havent had another panic attack since monday but the feeling the stress the anxiety is still there. honestly, i dont know what to do
