Anxiety

John
Hello,
I've been having anxiety on and off for the past eight months. In January I had panic attacks too.
Now, I sometimes feel nauseous and whenever I'm at home I get a lump in my throat even when I'm not anxious about anything. I have headaches and I take paracetamol every day to help me get rid of them. I'm quieter than I was last year now and I feel exhausted and tired every day. I sometimes get droopy eyes too.
I have health anxiety too and I think my anxiety sometimes causes constipation. I'm too exhausted to look through my telescope at the planets now.
Sometimes I think about myself in a negative way and my mind says 'I'm selfish and nasty' when I'm not and I do things for others too. I think about my family harming me over things I've done in the past too.
Can you help me please?
Thanks,
Parents

  • Hi John, I am sorry to hear you have been feeling this way and for so long. I would recommend talking to your doctor about the above if you have not tried to do so already or calling another support line such as the Samaritans (you can call them on 116 123 for free). If you feel anxious going to the doctors, it is possible to arrange phone calls, or even talking over text sometimes too. If it would be easier, you could even send them the exact above message so they can understand how you are feeling. But I would recommend seeking medical support because of the panic attacks and headaches.
