How do you stop what you physically feel affect you mentally? What I feel is like an ache that never goes away, it’s not painful but it so hard to ignore. I have had this feeling for about 3 years. I have general social anxiety and get some physical effects from that in social situation. However this feeling I have it all day most days even when I stay in and don’t leave house for a week, ashamed to say. Then it affects me mentally because I feel awful most days.

What I physically feel is something in my chest area I can only describe it metaphorically like someone’s got a jug of water and there pouring the water into my chest as much as I try to block this feeling menatlly, it still seeps into my chest and I feel the sensation of water dripping down inside.

Another way I can put it is like there was something inside that has now burst and I can feel what was inside of it seeping out.

There is nothing physically wrong with me. I have countless blood test and so on. My doctor considers me to be perfectly healthy. This is thought to be my way of putting my anxiety but I physically feel it and it brings me down every time consuming me in back ground.

I wonder if you can see another doctor? Is that possible?

Or have you already?

Anyway, what a way to feel. I am so sorry. And I relate to how pain takes a lot out of you and how you feel mentally. I have been in pain, too and that ache is very hard to ignore---sometimes you can't even function.

I never want to wish this on anyone, even ppl I don't like.

Sending you soothing vibes.

Thank You for your reply, there really is nothing physically wrong but I just can't seem to break this feeling mentally, I guesed if I created it mentally then it must be able to not feel it through thought as well, maybe I am getting ahead of myself as I still have a lot to sort out so many I haven't delt wiith whats behind it yet and once I do that then hopefully I feel at ease again.

Thank You once again, wish you all the best
