hey everybody. how's it going today? i read your other post outlaw and it sounds like you got a migraine. they say to get in a quiet, dark place and lay down. still have the what if's bad today.. feels like a can't get a deep breath sometimes and other times i constantly checking pulse. i drank a lot of alcohol this week had customers had to take out. which i'm okay when i'm out it's jut the next day that gets me. just the lightheaded , heart racing feeling.. which leads to what if something is wrong with me. does anybody else get like this after drinking alcohol?

I love the input we have here,whenever i get sick,or feel weird i flip out and the what if's appear..Now if you can stop that negative thinking its going to help..Sometimes mine are so bad i say screw it and go to sleep..Or i just keep going on with life..Sometimes though you try to ignore it and than its still there but worse.. know you should never fight anxiety let it ride over you like water off your back..take care texas,b,and gina.. outlaw

Sorry to bud into your conversation, but I definitely need to try the "I don't give a crap" attitude, because I am so tired and frustrated with dealing with this...aside from my closest friends and family and of course my support buddies, people don't understand!!! Be strong and stay positive!!! Thank you Outlaw, CN & Gina:-) Best, B

outlaw, gina, how's it going today? i felt alright excaept the same thing the what if thoughts. i know we will get over this once we stop thinking of the worst --- WHAT IF'S----- this is what got to the anxiety mode in the first place. i guess let's just develop the i don't give a crap attitude and maybe that will elevate some of our anxiety

gina & outlaw gina how's it going. hope your feeling good. tell me about you symptoms throughout the day. talk to you later. outlaw, what's up bro? you are exactly right the feelings we have are hard to deal with. 99% of the people that would get our symptoms would be in the er getting checked out. yes, it is scarey when we feel this way because we know that something is wrong with us-- but there is not. you can keep going to the doctor and thy are going to tell you the same thing (anxiety). Yes, i wonder if the doctor opinion is right- that's what casuses anxiety - we worry about what if's too much. i know you are alright, and i know that gina is alright, and i know that i'm alright. but it is still hard to say there is nothing wrong with us and there is --- called stress that we bring on ourselves. you need to just get out and say **** it and live on. if something happens it happens ( easier said than done). someone told me one time, " if it is your time to go it is your time to go and there is not a doctor, medicine, or anybody that can turn it around. don't take this the wrong way i'm not being mean. i love all of you even though i dont't know you personally-- i wish i did. we have got to change the way we think, not be hard on ourselves and live the life that GOD put us on earth to do. we are stronger people than most- we live with a disoder that most people would not live through. but we do it because we want to live SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO let's live. outlaw, go out tomorrow and don't worry anymore, so waht if you get nervous or lightheaded or heart starts to pound -- set down take some deep breaths and go bro. post me back i want to know where you went and what you did and how you felt? don't worry i have felt all the same feelings. it's alright i promise. goodluck. FRIENDS IN CHRIST, TEXAS

Cn Gina like my sis,and your like a lost friend to me.So to put it frankly i like your input man it helps me being a guy and all.I know we must live our lives,and these fears are just wasting minutes off my life..i should be living not worrying right?when you feel symptoms of a cold,or flu you take medicine,and go to the dr.So when your heart is acting crazy you got a clean bil of health,but ....What if they missed something bro,or they just didnt llok at it good.If they could feel what i feel at times they would go nuts too.I breathe deep take xanax say im not going to worry it comes stronger..No safety blanket no comfort zone im scared im going to die at that moment or soon..I see alot of us post about this,we are still living thats the key..Im happy i got people like you Tex,and Gina.. outlAw
