Hi Mary,

Your symptoms sound scary and I would be scared of symptoms of sight loss and hearing loss also. Have you told a Dr of these symptoms of hearing and sight loss which could be put down to Anxiety?

Something stands out in your post in that you don’t go out and have fun. Avoiding life can be a jailer of Anxiety symptoms. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and sit at a party, dinner or whatever you do for socialising. Sit their in discomfort and don’t care about that discomfort. Try and relax and take in the surroundings and enjoy whatever company you have You may end up having fun which shifts the focus from your symptoms. Try and phone a friend and arrange something. Even if it’s just a talk to catch up and feel good talking to a friend. Try and do tasks that take the focus off Anxiety.

You know I could never explain the process better than guys like Balto and Hillbilly. These guys are the masters at overcoming Anxiety and helped me get my life back by reading all of their posts of wisdom on here and the other tms site, and since this is a thread on Anxiety, it would be a disservice not mentioning them and unsure if you’ve come across them?
