Anxiety

Anyone here get anxiety?

For the past 2 weeks I've been fucked. It happened to me like 3 months ago for like 5 days but went away.

I thought I have a heart problem because my chest would feel weird but I know in the back of my head I don't really have a bad heart... But then I keep thinking "but what if I do".

I haven't felt the weird heart feeling for like 3 days. My body just feels so achy and stiff. Especially my thighs. My arms were being affected to, they would be really sore but then the soreness would go away. Whenever I talk about these problems in real life or on the internet it feels like the symptoms start going away.

I didn't wanna post this on this site because I don't want people thinking I'm fucked up, but I've given up on other sites because they're so slow.

I just feel really uneasy as of lately. I don't like it, not one bit. I also get tingling sensations in random parts of my body. I read that that's also a common symptom of anxiety.

Having a heart attack has always been my worst fear and I really don't wanna die.

If someone else here has had these symptoms or has anxiety please give me some info on it.

 

Yep. This is what anxiety feels like. You're too in-tune. You observe your body too much. Most of what you described is just normal things within the human body.

 

I know I'm too intune.

I just can't get out of it. I don't know why. Maybe I'm just going through a shitty period.

 

I have generalized anxiety disorder. This does not usually manifest into bodily concerns aside from pressure, aches, and ever since I got food poisoning once, bowel fluctuations.

One thing I can tell you, worrying about it doesn't make it any better. You can learn to have concern over it without worrying about it. Rationalize that in your mind. Use rote memorization if you have to. Just get it in your mind that worrying is the cause of these troubles, and you refuse to allow yourself to do it. (Though of course don't worry if you happen to worry every now and then )
Since talking about your troubles seems to help, maybe you are bottling too much up, and could do a bit more talking. If you don't feel like complaining to friends or us random internet peoples, start a journal or take up a hobby, where you can output your energies.
Breathing techniques are very helpful relaxation tools, study them a bit.

 

Is that similar to feeling like you're going to puke but you're really ok? I got the norovirus a few months ago, and now whenever my stomach hurts I feel like I'm going to die. I don't know much about food poisoning, but throwing up 20 times in 2 days ahs traumatized me.

 

I think that's the root of my problem. I bottle everything up.

Like I seriously don't show emotions to anyone (except drunkeness and laughter). There's things that go on in my mind that I haven't told anyone. Not my friends, you guys, my parents, even my girlfriend.

It's like I'm a robot. I have no cares in the world. It fucks me up though because sometimes I don't give a shit about anything but other days I'm the most self conscious person in the world.

It's just so hard to deal with this shit. Hopefully this feeling goes away before school starts after next weekend.

 

I don't get the nauseous feeling. It's mainly just pains and tingly feelings.

I also get really shaky sometimes.

There have been about 5 times in my life were I was literally shaking. It hasn't happened for about 3 months but I'm scared it will happen again. I only get a minor shaking feeling, but it happens often.

 

Well, no is the short answer.

My bowel troubles are all about the other end.
As far as my food poisoning... I had complete lack of water management. I felt dehydrated all the time. I felt like I had to pee all the time, even right after I peed. I felt like I had to poop all the time, even if I just spent a couple hours in/back and forth from the toilet. I also had trouble with other unconscious functions such as short term memory and breathing. Sometimes I couldn't breathe unless I was thinking about it. I thought my brain was breaking.
Went to the doctor's quite late. He said that the tests came back negative, but from all accounts, it sounded like salmonella, I just waited too long to get tested. And that's when he diagnosed me with GAD, saying that the reason I was still having the bowel trouble was psychosomatic. His diagnosis seems quite right as they like to act up again when I'm troubled.

 

I have bad anxiety too, I would wake up and my heart would be racing really bad, now when I smoke pot before it would race but nothing like that, I would have sharp pains and tightness in my chest, I actually went to the doctor and had some test done on my heart cause I was that worried, I am sure it is anxiety like everyone ells told me, but it put my mind at ease knowing I heard it from doctor himself. How much coke do you do? Cause that can lead to heart problems and heart attack. I think you need to cut out all the drugs for good except weed just take a nice long break from smoking. Doing all those drug dose not help any it might make it worse, maybe you would feel better getting it checked out, I know I did, you have to do what’s right for you I know it can be fun to trip our get stoned, but what is more importen to you getting high off drugs ir living a long life, you have your whole life head of you, think about it, my sister knew this guy who had a heart attack an died from doing too much coke.

 

Sounds like you have what I have. I'm almost your age too, probs same grade and body health. My body shook and it was like lights were flashing in front of me a while after the effects you've said, just a little caution info you should be careful if that happens and sit down. Otherwise it get's scary is fuck. It was 3 days after I quit smoking. Also the last day I quit quitting.

My doctor doesn't know what happened, so now I'm getting blood tests, and brain wave analysis crap, and I can let you know what the results if your having the same problems still.

Edit: Ya, read over your posts again and sounds word for word like what I'm going through. No nausea too, and I bottle up. I think your under stress.

 

I've done a ridiculous amount. But that was almost 2 years ago.

I've only done it maybe 5-10 times since the old days.... Those were some bad days.

But I know it isn't a heart problem.. I just think that because I've looked it up on the internet so much and I've scared myself. And a heart problem wouldn't just magically disappear just because I talk about it lol. But when I talk about the anxiety it goes almost completely away.

After I made this thread last night I felt perfect. Like nothing was wrong at all. I still feel great. I hope it's gone forever.

 

I am glad your feeling better, I wish I could have got it in my head that nothing was wrong

 

Don't smoke pot anymore, dude. I had similar things happen to me (it was more in my mind, though). This is why I stopped it.
Anxiety = Crap.
It's not worth it.

Honestly, I feel like more people should know about this, because soooo many people get anxiety from weed (or other, worse conditions). It isn't at all harmless. So many people GET anxiety, lie to themselves and say that it's an underlying psychological issue "brought to the surface" by weed, and keep smoking. I don't believe it could necessarily be an "underlying issue" as much as profound chemical disturbances in the brain that alter the way a person's serotonin levels work.

THIS IS WHY --> the only way to stop anxiety is to stop smoking.
