Question-Pls look
Well I been struggling a long time, but recently I been doing better. Im MDD and GAD for a while on meds, but sometimes I dip a bit, and its not fun. Anyways I saw on the news something sad, I mean I know theres a lot, but idk it like touched me a lot, and Idk my chest has been hurting a bit, the like heartache kind of pain, where it doesnt rlly hurt, but it does. Any advice? I in therapy, but yk...I feel like my reaction isn't normal.
@quickwittedCherry7604 I am not a specialist but I think your reaction is normal especially in context of GAD. It might sound like a mild panic attack. It can hurt in the chest when a concern about something becomes overwhelming.
Still new, severe, persistent, or unexplained chest pain should always be treated as a possible medical emergency. Especially if it doesn’t improve with mindfulness grounding exercises.
