Theres never a second when I don't feel
like this and I feel trapped
indoors because if I go out I feel like
i'm gonna collapse or something.
I'm only 15 and this stress is
unbearable.
I have constant palpitations (where my
whole chest shakes cos my heart is beating
so hard, not too fast) am constantly
jittery and lightheaded, feeling as if I
will collapse any moment.
These are not the only symptoms I get
plenty of others also
i went to hospital again last night and
they did ecg...Etc and still couldn't find
anything wrong. But I just can't live
like this...
I am convinced I am going to die of a
heart problem any second and now I have a
severe pain in my neck and feel nauseas,
and i'm also convinced that there is no
point in living anymore, because even if I
don't have any disease I am scared that
this constant stress and anxiety will have
physicaly damaged me, and I will never be
able to live again...

Listen my friend, there are many other
people on here that feel just the same as
you, and worse. As it happens, im am 15
and have had worse symptoms for about 5-6
months now. The symptoms I get are severe
headaches, chest pain, palpitations,
dizziness, and some others. I have had an
ecg, ct scan, blood tests, and everything
came back perfectly normal. Its called
anxiety (or so I hope) and it sounds like
you have got a similar thing to me. I
have a fear of going outdoors incase I
collapse etc and also dont realy like
staying in my house alone in case I
collapse. Chest pain, nausea and
light-headedness are all classic symptoms
of anxiety. Do you have panic attacks??
Heart problems are easily diagnosed and at
15 I would say its unlikely anyway. Have
a look round the forum and you will see
many other people who have similar
symptoms. Dont think that you are the
only one who has this because you most
definatly are not.
Also anxiety cannot hurt you, so dont
worry about it.
If you are still unhappy, see you gp.
Hope it helps,
james
p.S. Do you have msn messenger so that we
could chat?? Me and you are going to get
along great ;-)

place you need to breathe. Their are
places you can go to get help, check out

:) thanks jamesab...All sounds so
familiar...
About panic attacks, i'm not really sure
if it's what you would call a panic
attack...When I start thinking about the
state i'm in and worry I start panicking
and hyperventilating...So yeah I guess I
do get panic attacks.
The rest of the time I have these never
ending symptoms 24/7 which is one of the
things that makes me panic now and
again.

i am scared of going out in case I
collapse so yeah, I suppose I get
agoraphobia...I just feel like I am
constantly trapped in because of feeling
like this, which is one of the main things
which causes me to panic.

yep...I always feel like that...Slightly
better the moment I am going to sleep and
then I dread waking up the next morning to
another day of this hell...
It's been going on for about 4 and a half
months now, I guess I just have to hang in
there until I see the doctor.
I don't know how i've managed to get this
far, it's not my life anymore,
it just seems to go on forever...
It's like a prison sentence except much
worse
(especially now it's summer - it sucks
being trapped indoors).
Thanks again for all your replies :)
edit: I need to set up a new msn messenger
account and yahoo
so i'll give the addresses when I get
round to it...

Dont Give Up Hope Posted: 07-18-05 18:30pm
I have been where you have. I felt the
the very same feelings that you have to
the point of nor wanting to live anymore.
You got to hold on and not give up. It
simple to cure yourself of axiety. Dont
feel like you are alone . Read the book a
purpose driven life and see if that dont
help. Keep your faith in god and he will
get you through this trial.

There's a reason for alll these troubles.
It's because something happened to all of
you as a child that had some sort of
impact on you. Like i have every possible
anxiety problem there is. See a counselor
and talk to him/her and find out what the
root of the problem is and take care of it
from there. We're not meant to live like
this. Trust me and talk to a pro about it.
They hear about this stuff everyday. DON'T
GIVE UP!!! I'm right here with you guys.
