Here's a website I came upon listing more anxiety symptoms than I've ever heard of.  I found about 20 on here that I've had over the years that I thought were real physical ailments, not anxiety.  Now that I think about it, I'm sure they were just more manifestations of the anxiety I've had all my life and not some unique terminal disease.  It actually made me feel better reading these because I know now that all those times I thought I was dying of something (always had severe health anxiety) it was actually just my mind playing tricks on me once again!  So those of you poor souls like myself who always panic over strange symptoms, thinking you have some horrible disease (but have been tested negative on everything) - keep in mind it might just be anxiety rearing it's head in a different way.  Personally I think I can fight these symptoms better now that I know what's really causing them.  Good luck to you all.

andwes,

Thanks for posting the link to the anxieycentre. It is a good one, (and we actually keep it in our Resources as well) because it is a really comprehensive list of symptoms!

I found it helpful to know that other people have experienced the same things during times of anxiety, and I am glad that it's comforting to you as well.

Take care and keep up the good work,

S.C.

Great find Andwes! I'd never made a link between my allergies and anxiety before. Now i'll keep tabs on it :)

Hi

Agreed a good link it is surprising who many physical symptoms anxiety can produce and if you through in stress on top of that the list can be extended. Anxiety is very good at mimicking symptoms of other illnesses.

We really do think we are special with all these symtoms, I keep telling myself when I get one of these just relax it will pass, i mean really i have been dealing with this for 20+ years and it never changes and goes away, it helps me so much.
