I suffer from Chronic Anxiety.
Always been a worrier, nothing will ever change that. Had things pretty much under control until 4 years ago. I got told I had multiple sclerosis. Made the fatal mistake of checking the internet to what it truly entails.
Since then my life has changed completely. Despite the diagnosis being questioned, reevaluated, repeatedly assessed and checked I'm still very in much in the dark over whats going on.
I was at that time the fitness I'd probably ever been. Running regularly after letting myself go, following the kids being born and not having time to do much.
Now I've regressed. I'm unfit again. Every niggle, triggers a fear of panic. Even simple things like tube journeys are now a nightmare.
Bit hard to explain really.
one of my friends has anxiety issues, I bought them one of those fidget cubes for when things got really bad. It helped him out, just took their mind off what was going on. I also tried to get them to do some sums so their mind was working on something else.
I hope this might help you.
All the best!
