Stress and Anxiety... what to do!?

Former Member

Hey guys,

Well heres my problem, and i hope someone can gve me some kind of advice...

about 7 weeks ago i went to the doctors, for an unrelated matter, and cut the story short i fainted... which is probably the best place to do it!

after this i have been very anxious, and very stressed, and i feel faint, dizzy and physically very weak in myself, not being able to stand up sometimes for more than 5 mins.... it probabaly didnt help that in the middle of this i started a new job, and i'm a shadow of myself.

I petrified to go the doctors, and this is where i feel my most dizzy... panicky...etc...

its disturbing my new job, my relationship, and i havent been able to drive without crying the whole time... its very very annoying now, and i just want to be myself!!

However i am not the kind of person who can push the feeling to the back of my head and tell myself i'm okay, so its always there.

so after a long story, (sorry) does anyone have any opinions? or ways that i can make myself feel better, or just to push that feeling to the back of my mind, as its stopping me getting on!

you need to really try and get to the doctor again, perhaps take a good friend with you for help. or call NHS direct for advice. it sounds pretty acute and serious so please seek some help. hope get on OK.
