hiya everyone, i am a 16 year old girl and have been suffering with anxiety for the past 2months, my symptoms were really bad and i was having panic attacks all the time for the first few weeks, for the last week i have been feeling fine again even though i still experience de-personilisation. Sometime when i am stressed out like in an exam i get a tingling feeling in my head which is uncomfortable and the inside and outside of my ear feels like it is burning but i put it down to stress, but today i have had like a tingling feeling on the top right side of my head and now my ear is burning and it is really annoying and uncomfortable, i know it will probably pass but i get myself worked up and will keep worrying about it, so i posted on here to see if other people get this too so i dont feel so alone when i get these stressful symptoms.

Hi and welcome!

I am sorry that you are suffering anxiety and its symptoms lately. It is easy to be frightened of these feeligs, caused by anxiety, and then get even more anxious....resulting in a cycle of fear and weird sensations throughout the body.

You are not alone in this experience. Many people have similar things that they feel when stressed. We have a great Resource Guide on the main page here (2nd post) that has a lot of great links to get you started with some self-help ideas.

The breathing and relaxation exercises (instructions in links) are really effective in reducing anxiety symptoms if practiced daily.

Here is a link from the Resource Guide with a list of anxiety symptoms that you might find comforting.   (you'll see yours listed)

Keep posting here with us.  It is great to talk to others who understand what you are going through...and we are here to listen and support!

Amber,

I feel for you and want you to know it can and does get better if you get assistance. I had horrible anxiety, panic and depression years ago and it seems like a lifetime ago now. Like the person who posted already CBT was the answer to my problems and I still use the TEA forms occassionally just to make sure my probs never come back.
