new here

hello everyone. I just found this site today because I was freaking out because my head has been tingling lately and I was concerned I was having a stroke. A long time anxiety suffer, I am used to feeling wierd things and then panicking because I think I'm gonna die. I was relieved to see it's probably just another of my hundreds of anxiety symptoms! I'm glad I will now have somewhere to go to here from others with the same issues!

Hey...I have the same problem too...I will freak out when something small happens to me and it ends up leading me into a panic attack thinking i'm gonna die... & i know exactly how you feel with the head tingling...It bothered me for the longest time and all i would do was sit there and think about it all day to the point i couldnt do anything but think about it & then I learned that it was from anxeity because when I would start feeling nervous/anxious, I would clench my jaws together and grind my teeth and that lead to the tingling feeling in my head...i hate hate HATE the feeling...its worse than physical pain to me lol... I  try to be better about it now though...I just have to keep reminding myself to stop clenching my jaw & that I am fine & its just my anxeity kicking in. I will take my xanax if it gets bad enough...& yes you are right...you've picked a wonderful place to come for support from others that are going through the same thing! hope you are feeling better & hope to hear from you soon! :)

I am pretty new to this site as well and have found that is really helps me out knowing that I am not alone. I have been pretty good this week expect for yesterday felt a little anxiety all day thought I would be able to beat it, almost did, this morning at 4:20 I had to take an ativan. Feel better now. I only take the ativan when I can not control the anxiety. So far this week only took 2 pills. I am on a antidressant and that helps alot. Not only I am new to this site but I am new to anxiety, my first panic attack on January 6th ended me up in the ER. Good luck to all us!!
