DOES ANYONE FEEL THE WAY I FEEL?? New member much aniexty and hypochondria

[isle667]

My story started about a year ago, when i had a very devestating experience and ended up in the hosptial. The experience as dumb as it sounds was someone spiked brownies at a party and i had a couple and freaked out 3 hours later. Ever since that day i have been experiencing anxiety and hypocandria. I recently just found on my dad suffers from the samething and i think i inherited from him.  For the past year ive been through, Brain MRIs, blood tests, Colonoscopys, and everything you could think of. I worry so much about my health i check my weight 30 times a day, i thought i had a brain tumor, to colon cancer, now since my muscle's twitch and i have weakness i think ALS. Everyone even in forums and my nurologist say i dont even have the same symptoms for ALS, so i am starting to get over it. Im always anxouis even if i dont think i am. Ive been reading into anxiety disorders and my found muscle twitching and fatigue as being a big part of it. My doctor told me too when you worry so much your adrenale glands pump all day cause more fatigue. sorry for the spelling, history major not a english one. These symptoms can be dibilitating and everytime sometime happens in my body i freakout thinking its the worst. I am always in a constand worry. The funny thing is i am a college basketball player. And i worry so much by the time practice or a game comes i just believe i am going to be weak, and i become weak, and i have a feeling its all in my mind. Cause i have enough strenght to do vigerous workouts, run miles, jump rope, and do between 100 and 300 pushups a day. Aniexty is no joke, my doctor told me i have GAD, but im not going to take pills i wanna try to work it out naturally. Does anyone esle out there experience fatigue? Constant worry? Muscle twitches? Feeling weak sometimes? Loosing sleep? Hard to fall asleep and stay asleep? I feel the more i worry the more i become weak somedays. it takes the energy right out of me, because i cant relax. Even when i think im relaxed im still thinking about every single movement in my body. Thankyou for reading this whoever did? Im just trying to get some help tips and some feedback from people who feel what i feel. Its really been taking over my life, thinking all day whats gonna move or whats gonna happen in my body and do i have serouis disease. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Yes yes yes and yes. It sounds to me like you have classic symptoms of anxiety disorder. You've seen the doctors so that is great. It is hard to accept that it is just anxiety, everyday is a struggle. You're not alone. It sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders about it though, that is hopeful.

Yes I have all the symptoms you have. I've been suffering since October of 2008. My main worry is having a heart problem of breast cancer, both of which I've had checked out and I'm fine. I worry all day long and always have an anxious feeling, by the end of the day I'm exhausted! I go to sleep super easy, but have a hard time staying asleep. I do realize though that if I do something active like walking or working out I don't think about it so much. Have you seen a therapist? I go to therapy once a week and I'm on Zoloft.

I hope you still read this but i absolutely understand what you are saying about being conscious of every move your body makes.  Due to my rapid heart rate when a panic attack hits, i am absolutely paranoid i will have a heart attack or i am checking my pulse 50 times a day.  Or if I have a headache it's a tumor.  They are rambling thoughts that are never ending and keep us anxious and in a circle.  Therapy and medicine is slowly starting to work for me but i am not even close to having this under control.  Just have faith and if you dont want to do the medicine at least make sure you are seeing someone for therapy.  I wish you the best.

Sounds like ....................................ME, classic anxiety , mind gets stuck in a worry loop and it can get you feeling all sort's of stuff , I cant ever read side effects on meds's or even vitamins , hear something in the news , on a magazine , from a friend without anxiety trying to convince me I too have the exact same problem.
