weird feelings....

[Aletam]

i do not know what is going on with me but lately i have been getting these weird symptoms and i was not sure if it was due to anxiety or what....like today for example, i have been thinking since yesterday that my pupils were dilated but everytime i go into light form dark they go to where they are supposed to go and so forth but i still have to look at them everytime i am by a mirror. tonight when i got home i started to get this ache in my neck that then started to make my eyebro and head hurt on the same side, my left. I know that when i first started to freak out about things i got the same symptom...it just freaks me out. i am not sure if anyone else experiences this. i am going to call the doctor in the morning but i was just wonderin if there is anyone else who feels this. I do know that this feeling in my neck has given me a panic attack 3-4 times amongst other things. i am stressed out quite a bit right now, which you could probably figure y if you have been following the news and note where i am from (elkhart, in) and a side from the economy i have other stresses but the worst one for me is anxiety about my health. i just cannot stop thinking that is going to happen to me. i am so afraid of that. i get panic attacks 3-4 times weekly, hopefully the doctor can help me out.

A very real possibility is all the stress of checking your eyes out all day long ended up giving you a headache in the back of your neck (classic stress headache!).

Because you already suffer from panic and anxiety, the logical conclusion is this is another manifestation of those issues. Somehow you have to convince yourself that it's no big deal even if your eyes were dialated. It's all a one big fat "so what" - you are a survivor and you have courage and you just have to push on through it in order to have the *quality* of life you deserve. Tell yourself those things and eventually, they become true.
