    Long story short... I ended up going to hospital because a doctor thought my heart rate was fast and that he had to make sure I don't have sepsis :unamused: And I couldn't stop crying from that point on. The hospital staff pretty much thought I was fine and they let me go.

    Although I ended up needing to explain to the nurse there that I feel depressed and suicidal. I'm expecting CAMHS to be informed now.

    And you wouldn't believe how scared I've been about my heart and health. It's so horrible.

    I can't sleep because I keep feeling cold, hot, cold, and nauseous. Fuck's sake. I'm gonna try to sleep sitting up in case that helps. I really just want to be better.

    I hope your doing okay, we just wanted to follow up this. This sounds really scary, and it can cause quite a bit of anxiety. 

    Have you tried calling 111 - the non-emergency medical helpline? They will likely be able to give you a clear idea of what is going on and perhaps advise you from there. 

    Take care at the moment.

    My mum actually had to call 111 at the weekend. They are really good.

    Feel like utter trash. Really don't want to go to school tomorrow but it looks like I have no choice (my mum has to go back to work tomorrow and there is nobody to stay at home with me.)

    I've been showing symptoms for eight days now... I feel like I can't cope with another day of feeling so paranoid and anxious. I know the hospital didn't think anything seemed wrong but that's hardly reassuring me.

    My mom's trying to get me to go back to my normal lifestyle but I've been trying to follow her advice, even though I feel phobic about it now, and today it just seemed to make things worse again.

    And I feel like this will go on forever and ever. People are telling me it's just a bug but I can't help but spend all my time being scared about every single thing I experience or feel. Every day I've been feeling like I'm gonna die.

    It isn't exactly the best idea for when I am unwell. Especially as I get lightheaded.

    I really can't cope with this anxiety. It's honestly so bad that I'm hesitant to even have some water, and I feel like I'm trying to accept that I'm dying because I'm paranoid that I have something serious. I keep crying because I feel overwhelmed with worries and stress. It feels unbearable.

    hi angel you are better? sorry for my english, not for my first language ^^

    I read that you have been paranoid and very frightened by your anxiety. Believe me, I'm in the same way and I'm freaking out too; but beyond that, I'm trying to learn to deal with myself in this situation. When I find myself ready to research something, do unfounded online tests or burst into tears, I turn off the phone, take a deep breath and try to channel my pain (whether physical or emotional), and repeat several times that it is not so bad. Repetition can be a powerful weapon against obsessive and paranoid behavior that scares us and causes us panic. So try to use repetition to your advantage: always take a deep breath and think "it is not so bad, it is not so bad; it will pass, it will pass, it will pass". And in case that this doesn't help, try to stay close to someone; you don't need to talk anything, you just need to feel that you're not alone and there's nothing is gonna happen to you.

    I hope it helps you as it has helped me. Fighting!!! <3

    Thank you so much <3 Your english is really good by the way, it's a confusing language and I'm impressed by your skills! Yeah, I have a bit of a problem with worrying and anxiety. I think I often feel a bit on edge, but it's not really something I notice until something scares me. When something scares me I get really overwhelmed with it and find it impossible to be rational or calm down. Right now the thing that's scared me is my health. I've had what everyone thinks is a stomach bug for about nine days now and it's set me off panicking. I keep thinking about all the things that could be wrong, like a serious illness or a long-term condition, every symptom is making me terrified that it's not normal, and so on. I know it sounds melodramatic, but I only just got out of bed less than an hour ago because I feel scared to even move in case it aggravates any symptoms. I can't cope with the anxiety so I've started trying to accept that I'm going to die and can't do anything about it (there's no evidence that suggests I'm going to die before the mods read this and think I'm unsafe, it's just horrible fear).

    I'll definitely try what you suggested. I'm really sorry to hear you're struggling with the same sort of thing <3

    I really know how you feel and I am also sorry for what you are going through; ,,, during these last few days all i have been able to think about is that i have bipolar disorder, something i really know is not the case, but my head keeps thinking about symptoms that are not real.

    I also feel a lot of stomach pain because I have anxiety and consequently nervous gastritis. When I feel sick, smell the food or just drink something like a vitamin, I panic and think I'm going to die. So I think I can say that we feel similar things from time to time. So can say with sure that you are not leaving everything melodramatic, you are just experiencing your pain the way you know. It's not your fault.

    I hate medicine, but they can be very useful; Have you tried to go to a health unit to do an exam or take some medicine that will calm you down? When I get into a crisis related to my stomach, I usually go to the health unit and usually calms me down. Crises and bad thoughts calms down too.

    I wish you can over those fears; you're ok, you have to believe that you ok, even when it's veryyyyy hard.

    To be more simple, think that way: if it was something really bad like a serious illness, you would be feeling so much pain, that the first thing you would do, would go the hospital. Believe me, there's pain that we can deal and they are sometimes common, in the other hands, there's things we can't no even think about it, they just happend and we just act. 



    i'm sorry if I wasn't very clear in my words hshdjajsjajaka nd good luck!!! you're gonna be ok, i have sure ^^

    Hello! I'm sorry for that, men can be so stupid sometimes that make me nauseous :(

    it is not your duty to take action, it is their responsibility to become aware that you are uncomfortable and stop the jokes, but have you tried to go elsewhere on the bus? away from them? maybe it helps you to be more calm; if not, try to stay close to the driver's seat and take a deep breath; if you have you earphone, listen to music to show them that you're not ok with their talks about you...

    i hope you can be ok!
