I'm not sure if I'm suffering from anxiety, stress or depression to be honest.
Physically, I get a lot of tingling in fingers, top of head. When having a bad day I get blurry vision and heart races. Always feel tired and hard to get up in the morning (have to though to take DS's to school), I also get a pain under my ribs on left. When really bad I get lightheaded and things go numb, just for a second.
Emotionally, I worry about upsetting people every hour of the day, I analyse every conversation I have with anyone to see if I said anything wrong or if they said anything which could mean they don't like me. I try to please everybody all the time and worry if I can't. Sometimes I avoid people to avoid saying something wrong. My house is usually spotless but then all of a sudden I'll get all tetchy about a tiny bit of flaking paint or something and think my house is a wreck (it's not) and get really upset about it. I worry about my kids to a stupid degree and think everything that I have wrong with me is life-threatening. I have stopped going to GP as I am sure they think I am a hypochondriac.
On the surface of it all, everyone thinks I am fine. I have happy kids, they do lots of activities out of school, I help out lots with their groups, I work from home, my housework is always done, I regularly visit friends and am very chatty in the school playground (even though I'm analysing every conversation).
Every time I come home from somewhere I feel panicky like I've done something wrong and someone thinks bad of me.
Do you think I need AD's or something else?
Any advice would be really helpful as I feel like I'm losing the plot and it's ruining my life.
