Feeling awful

...See more My anxiety has been flaring up badly for the past two weeks. I've started having heart palpitations/chest pain. Im thinking it may just be a terrible anxiety symptom but my mind still jumps to heart attack which just makes the panic attacks worse. Last night I had what i think is called a nocturnal panic attack..I jolted out of my sleep gasping for air and my throat felt closed off. It was the most horrible feeling and took an hour to subside. I am so tired of feeling like this and being scared all day every day. I just want to go back to normal
Chest Pains

...See more For the past two days I have experienced minor chest pains on left side. I'm 22 years old with no heart condition or health problems so while I know that a heart attack is unlikely, I have been in a constant state of panic. My anxiety had been flaring up prior to the pains starting so maybe it is just a symptom? Have any of you experienced this as a symptom of your anxiety? What did it feel like? I cannot afford a hospital bill but I am so afraid that something terrible will happen . I have gone to the hospital several times in the past for various pains/illnesses that I was convinced I had but didnt and was sent home every time. Would it be worth it to be checked out? Opinions would be much appreciated!
Venting again

...See more I just joined this app a few days ago and can't for the life of me get connected one-on-one to someone so I guess I'll just share my thoughts here. If someone could maybe help explain how to use the app that would be great lol. It's been a rough day. I didn't get my refill on my medication on time so I had to borrow one from my dad. Same medication but a lower dose..it didn't help me at all since it was only 10 mg. I had anxiety all day, felt detached from my body, had some depression going on and got super claustrophobic trying to grocery shop in Walmart. I was never this bad before and don't understand. I couldn't handle all the different noises and people at once and had to get out of there. My mind has been racing 100 mph today which really stressed me out. I kind of feel like crying and just needed to talk about it. So once again, thank you for listening
Just venting.

...See more I hate the physical side effects anxiety gives me. I really do. Sometimes it's a buzzing all over my body, like bees are trapped inside. Sometimes I get claustrophobic and overheated and feel like I'm going to explode if I don't get out of wherever I am. Most often though, I feel detached from my body. Kind of like being high even though I'm completely sober. I can see my body moving and I can see it touching things.. But I can't feel it. Its like my soul is floating above and my body is just a robot. Sometimes I feel like I'll just float completely away. I just want to feel normal again.. Even if it's for just one day. Anyway, thanks for listening
