I think I have anxiety? What are the symptoms?

Question:

I have a doctors apt. tomorrow morning, I just don't want him to think I am crazy. I just want to know what to expect. I feel like I am nervous all the time. I can feel my nerves tingling, I worry alot about nothing. Sometimes I feel like I just have to get out of wherever I am and go home. I don't feel like this all the time, but when I do, I start to worry about how I am feeling and it just builds up. I want to cry when it happens just to get the emotions out. My heart races and my blood pressure rises. I am not depressed because I am still a very happy person I just get these feelings once in a while. In the past few months they are more and more common. What do you think?

Answers:
Hi there. Firstly your not crazy so dont worry, it does sound like anxiety. Anxiety consists of intense worrying, and physical sensations such as heart racing, feeling on edge, sweaty palms, tremor, feeling nervous(tight muscles). Anxiety can be caused by many things, maybe your stressed about something in your life at the moment. Work? family? friends?. Anxiety is a perfectly normal response but can be very uncomfortalbe when expereinced in everyday situations. It can be triggered by negative thoughts which can effect our behaviour. These thoughts can set of anxiety and all the bodily sensations. Please dont worry, your not crazy, and it good your seeing your Dr.

My advice to you would be to look at whats going on in your life what could be triggering your anxiety. There are plenty of ways to help you with anxiety your Dr can help you with this. It can even be as simple as relaxing more and reading a good self help book. Anxiety is sooooooooo common and it does go.

oh.....I went through the same thing. Panic and anxiety is what that is. But guess what, there is a cure. Your doctore will probaly prescribe medication and that does help. But I found for myself I had to deal with what was bothering me and it goes back to issues I had with my mom. So, I went to go talk to a phd and he helped very much.

try these websites they helped me.
