Health anxiety is my biggest problem which is why the physical symptoms of anxiety really send me into a major panic. Arms or legs going numb... I convince myself they're going to go dead which would result in amputation. Or a numb face or tongue feeling strange... I convince myself I'm having a stroke or I might choke on my tongue. I also suffer from 'brain zaps' when in a anxious state which can only be described as little shooting pains at the back of my lower head... When this first happened you can only imagine the state I got myself into. Also, does anyone else know deep down that they are overreacting and they will be fine but somehow just can't suppress the thought that something is majorly wrong even when we know it is not. The mind is so powerful and I am slowly starting to gain control over it.
