finally accepting it's anxiety

I have recently accepted the fact that I don't have cancer, tumor, or heart problems. I am glad to find this site and others I can relate to. I have the usual impending doom thoughts. Always feeling everyone is talking about me or staring at me. That bad things are around the corner waiting to happen. I am just now getting better from my anxiety attack from last night but I will be exhausted for days. Last night was one of the better ones if u can call it that. It was more mild than the rest. They have me on Zoloft 100mg. I started at 25 Mg and have increased in 25 increments to where I am at. I just want to be normal again. To be able to go about day to day not worrying if I am gonna have another episode. I have always been a worry wart but I started with physical symptoms about 2 years ago so I am relatively new to it all. I have chest pains all the time that travel they will be on the right side then left. Up high on my chest or low. Feels like if I could just rub them out it would be okay. I have tingling in my arms, hands, feet. Neck and back pain between my shoulders. During episodes I feel short of breath, faint, just wanna close my eyes. I get hot cold at same time. I get a flushing feeling like someone turned a water hose running hot and cold water at the same time in my chest. My head gets tingly in the back. It can be days to weeks for me to get back to some what myself. I am told these are all normal. Are they? I just feel sometimes I am going crazy. I also get awaken right when I try to lay
down with weird thoughts dreams. They feel so real but they are so crazy that there is no way they can be. I have had all the tests and several ER trips and hospital stays. And everything has checked out fine. I am now looking for a psychiatrist as my Dr instructed. That is my story. I just came here for.input. and some reassurance that I am not going crazy and that others are experiencing some of the same I am???

Hi.
You are not alone. I myself have been struggling with that for probably six months now. I am on Wellbutrin 150. It is supposed to take care of the depression and anxiety, though I am not sure how well it is doing.

I have found it very helpful to go to counseling. It's good to have somebody physically there to help me sort through it all. Everything that you have described is normal for somebody with this disorder. Just remember that it's a real illness just like any other sickness.

For sure keep posting on here. We will listen. If you need an outlet, we understand.

I could tell you more of my story, but it's irrelevant to the moment at hand. Just know that you are going to make it. I believe in you. (haha and I'm speaking to myself here as well)

Sending thoughts your way.

Thank you all for letting me know that I am truely not going crazy.  I really feel like the posts on this site will really help me thru alot of what is happening.  At least it will give me comfort knowing that I am not dieing and just got to make it thru and be positive.
