Hi,

  I am a 26 year old female. about 2 weeks ago I started getting these electrical tinglings inside of me and most recently I get this feeling like I am vibrating, kinda like I am cold and shivering when I am not actually cold....my neurologist says that I am okay. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I have never had an anxiety attack before. The wierd thing is that I get these vibrations when I am relaxed at night laying down....  The weird thing is that I have had a messed up life and now things are finally going well, I am about to graduate college in 4 weeks and I am most likely going to be valedictorian, am engaged and plan on having kids soon...things are finally going good for me...does this make sense...any thoughts ot opinons are appreciated!

IMO and this is just my opinion it does sound like anxiety
Anticipatory Anxiety
You have all these things coming up no doubt worried about(possible) Valedictorian Speech.......being engaged and going to be having kids
Thats alot to be stressed about especially when graduating in 4 weeks

Also might be that some of your "messed up life " is still lurking in the back of your mind even though things are going so great now

Maybe reading some self help books by Lucinda Basset could be of an asset
You will find them in the resources at side in yellow

I did and still sometimes do my worst "stinking thinking" and stressing at night but have learnt ways to cope
try some breathing exercises as well
There is a thread by Victoria that outlines these on here...worth checking out

Welcome to HW and I hope you will post and let us know how things are going with you
This is a great place for support and empathy

Be well and Congrats on graduating and possible Valedictorian Honor

Thank you for your reply... I constantly feel tense, although I try so hard to relax! I dont know if these vibration like feelings are common with anxiety attacks, I was under the impression that attack occur in stressful situations only but the more that I read posts the more that I see that this is not the case. Its hard for me as when I start getting these feelings i panic more cause I get so scared! My Dr. prescribed my xanax but I dont know if it is helping cause as soon as I take it 20 min later I am sleeping. Has anyone with anxiety ever had these electrical like sensations and shivering feelings?  I am usually so in control of my life and I feel like I am going crazy with all of this, wondering if I have some CNS disease or something!

Yes Cappy I have and it was I believe due to my A/P
Getting more into panic is a normal reaction IMO when you get like this

Maybe you could cut dosage in half to see if that helps with the drowsiness .........

I honestly dont think you have a CNS problem or disease I truly think it is a/p

If you are really worried you can have tests done ........
Glad you are seeing you are not alone in this ......
Support is always here and good luck in Nursing School
I wish I was still doing it it was my life but alas illnesses were to much for me to do job properly ya know

  This is really a great site for support...it is touching to see how supportive people are of each other. Do you have any type of CNS disorder?  Yeah I already cut the pill in half, I have a low tolerance, maybe I should cut it into fourths.....  Thank you for your kindness.
