That's definitely the most difficult thing It's not just worry; it's the sensation that your body is against you, preventing you from relaxing even when you want to does that make sense? I just want to feel safe once more.

I can handle stress and life but this constant physical feeling is exhausting and makes everything more difficult, even simple things like going out or trying to relax. The worst part is that everything looks fine from the outside. Sometimes I just wish I could feel normal in my body again without overanalyzing every sensation. Does it ever really go away for you guys? Right now, it's not even the fear that bothers me the most.

I used to not think about my body constantly, but now everything seems like a warning that something might be wrong, even though I know cognitively that I'm fine. Can anyone relate?

This is the most bizarre thing for me. Sometimes, when I'm not even thinking about anything stressful my heart begins to race my chest tightens I feel strange, and then my brain panics as if my body is triggering everything. Does anyone else understand?

I constantly asking myself, Is this normal? even when nothing is going on. It's like I can't stop examining my heart, breathing, and every tiny feeling.
What if there's a problem?
I miss the times when my body was quiet. Does anyone else experience this? It just never seems to end.

These days, it's not even the thoughts.
It's my body.
Strange breathing, a tight chest for no apparent cause, and an uneasy feeling throughout the day
The worst thing is that I can't seem to stop monitoring it
I've taken tests, and everything is normal, but it doesn't seem normal at all.
Trying to feel good about your physique is draining.
Does anyone else have this problem?

The pounding heart, the strange breathing, the lightheadedness, the continual checking
