Hi there everyone, this is Sam. I recently registered on this site and i thought that i would start to open up to all of you about my health issues that are troubling me.
So a bit about myself, i am male, from England and am in my 20's and have started to have a issue for about one year.
I hope some people can read this and advise me what problems i have and solutions to how i could gently stop them
I started feeling extremely panicky and anxious about a year ago. This happened out of the blue and i cannot see a reason why my body started acting this way. There has been no negative life events that i feel triggered my anxiety.
I am unsure whether i have either an anxiety disorder or panic disorder mixed with depression. I would describe it as 70% anxiety and 30% low mood depression.
In terms of my symptoms i do have several:
1) Physical symptoms:
Trembling
Dry mouth
Talking Fast
Hyperalert
Shallow breathing
Fast Heartbeat
Oversleeping
Overeating
Not very Social because of anxiety
2) Mental symptoms -
Thinking rapidly
Feeling stressed continuously
Sometimes can concentrate on a singly activity and distracted
Low mood
No energy mentally even after sleep
Having low ambition due to low mood and fear
So then these are my symptoms i have had for the last year. I have tried solving them myself but they seem to have got worse over the last year.
I am unsure what to do as they do not seem to go away and seem to come up no matter if i am inside the house, outside shopping etc, whether i am alone or with people.
There seems to be a permanent anxious state as soon as i wake up but this gets increased if i go outside
What advice can people here give me to find the root of the problem as i am having trouble dealing with this issue of mine.
I hope you can help me start of on this journey of self improvement so i can live a normal life and do the things that normal people do.
I look forward to your responses and will answer as honestly as i can to any questions you may have about my feelings.
Thanks
Sam
