    I picked up my car today from the dealership service dept.
    Mostly maintenance issues.
    Finished maxing out my credit card to pay for the work done.
    I was grumbling all the way home.
    I started thinking though, considering the mileage and the amount of the bill, it calculates to 1.5 cents a mile.
    Money well spent, even though it hurt. :smiley:

    hey i’m right there with u <3:(

    my plan is tomorrow try to get outside somewhere alone during daylight away from people like in nature and try to breathe a bit

    Havent read through all the thread...but you people with anxiety issues...do you also get physical manifestations?

    I feel so odd because besides some of the common symptoms (racing heart, shakes, racing mind and worry, feeling of unsettledness or doom, whatever) I get weakness in my arms and hands, like they are weighed down by lead weights, I cant swallow and choke when trying to drink, I feel like I maybe should call an ambulance b/c there is something very wrong with me. Its mostly when there are other people around, like claustrophobia and anxiety or something. It eases off when I can be alone, to some extent. Caffeine seems to exasperate it.

    Anyone else get physical manifestations of anxiety? Not just mental? The weighted down arms and weak grip, and choking when I try to take a sip of water are really disturbing for me right now.

    I get hot, sweaty, dry mouth, heart palpitations, chest pain, headaches, shortness of breath etc... Not fun. Sorry to hear about your symptoms, they do sound unsettling.

    i got weird anxiety bc i get heart issues and that sets off panic/anxiety. not like i’m thinking about it and worried, but i guess there’s this weird thing where if your heart starts to race or can’t beat right or skips a beat so your brain lets loose some chemicals that induce panic/anxiety. it sucks because my heart does that when i exercise hard or get super hot or whatever and then out of nowhere i got adrenaline and cortisol and glucose and feel this crazy fear, with no reason to it. outside of that, i dont have too much anxiety.

    have u had bp checked? if u get higher bp when u get scared that might make arms/legs feel numb or heavy maybe

    The heart thing—I get something similar. Apparently everyone in my family on my moms side does because I told her about how my heart would kinda skip around when I exercised hard and she’s like “have you tried giving up caffeine? It helped the rest of us” so I did and it did, it happens way less frequently now.

    Bodies are weird

    I have auditory hallucinations sometimes. They are so "real" to me...having visual hallucinations must be very disturbing too.

    I used to get this. Don’t know why or how it stopped. Now I just hear music when the fan is on but that’s tinnitus

    ETA: & when I say used to, i mean it happened 3 times in a short period of time a little more than 20 years ago.

    I did go to the doctor, it was a weird appointment. She had these mental health check lists, it was awkward and I was super anxious.

    I havent followed up with the bloodwork and heart checkup, I'm afraid of what may turn up. Do have heart problems in my family, so get it worked up annually. Have high blood pressure at doctors office and when I'm stressed, but not at home.

    I left the appointment with a weird feeling, I felt like she thought I was fishing for drugs, which 100% I wasn't, just was having really hard time dealing with my symptoms at work. Not sure if the symptoms are lessened or I'm just dealing with it better now.

    Once when I was young a Yellow Jacket flew into my mouth but I spit it out before it stung the inside of my mouth. Then I went and played on an old Fire Truck. I don't know why that is on my mind now.

    Thank you, and I'm sorry for you too, not fun at all, and hard to know what may trigger it.

    It is weird. It doesn't happen often to me, and most often it's someone calling my name. Most recently it was a doorbell, and someone chanting in the other room.

    The best one was years ago, some man singing Italian opera.
