Lately my anxiety has been horrible. Thankfully only a couple full on panic attacks but the anxiety has been constant. Specifically my anxiety will involve a physical symptom and my mind immediately thinks it because I’m about to die. For example if my heart skips a beat I think I’m having a heart attack. If my legs hurt I think my potassium has crashed and my kidneys are shut down. Head muscle twitch? Well that must be aneurism.
And even lying in bed at night, I get these weird sensations. It feels like the blood in my body is barely moving. Or my limbs will feel numb or have a weird ache to them. These symptoms don’t last long, then onto the next. Literally there are so many combinations of physical symptoms accompanied by anxiety related to what it “could be” I can only list a few.
Logically I understand it’s just anxiety but my mind is so powerful that the symptoms feel so real. I often feel like I’m about to collapse at work, stop breathing, drop dead or something like that.
