just started watching a few shows ago... thx

I don't go to school???thx what is the benefit of the Ipad?

I would get this checked out, Looly, just in case. As well as being a good idea from a safety point of view it will reassure you as well.

when the anxiety is very bad I have to force the food down.

I have social anxiety. Not the sort where you don't want to go into shops, but the one where you don't make frienRAB very easily because you're too anxious about what they're going to think of you. In fact I cut myself off at the pass and won't try to make frienRAB because I think people won't...

I would see a cardiologist Looly, just to get checked out.

I used to have this fear too. When I was about 11. I couldn't watch anyone else throw up and I would look in the mirror every night to see if I looked pale, which might mean that I was going to throw up. It was a phobia for me. I didn't throw up between the ages of 11 and 16 and then I...

I have had this for years too - the feeling of my heart skipping. I went to the doctor who told me there was some name for them and that they're harmless and happen to everybody but only some overviligant anxious people (like me!) actually feel them happening. I think coffee and alcohol and...

I also have had health anxiety for a nuraber of years (hmmmm....about twenty now I think, I didn't start quite as young as you....) Same stuff with the heart - ECGs and stuff. It might be time to do something a bit proactive and start some exercising (just gentle at first so you don't scare...

Mike, I bet when you're on the street you don't look any different from those 'cool' people it's just your minRABet that distinguishes you. We are our own worst enemies. No one thinks we're inferior except ourselves (and our families!!) I haven't 'fulfilled my potential' either. I qualified...

It's really sad that you're feeling like that. Brothers are good at robbing you of self esteem - siblings are in general, actually, especially if you're the youngest. Don't let it get to you. Maybe you need to move somewhere else if you're having so much trouble in that house? Doesn't sound...

Yes it's very common with anxiety not to believe the doctors when they say you're okay. i've had so many heart tests it's just not funny. had my first ecg at the age of 21. i had a negative stress test last year but I still get funny pains in my back when I walk up hills and I don't know how...

You sound like you're having a rough time but well done for getting back to the gym and keeping on trying. Some people faced with that sort of anxiety would just avoid the situation for fear of it happening again. I have palpitations. I have both the PVCs and sometimes my heart starts...

Feeling that you can't breathe in can be a symptom of anxiety but it wouldn't hurt to get your lungs checked. Maybe you've got asthma, or, as the other person said, pneumonia. But I've had this feeling, on and off for the last 20 years, that I can't take a deep breath all the way in, and...

I have lost weight in the last couple of weeks (due to anxiety) and feel quite angry and frustrated when people tell me how good I look (because I have felt so terrible). But i'm not desperate to put it on again now that I'm feeling better. Your body will dictate how much weight it wants to...
