certain feeling hard to describe

Its been happening on and off for 2 years along with anxiety but what im talking about doesn't seem like just anxiety. Its like really intense and unpleasant and hurts in the chest area (but not physically) its like doom/extreme down feeling. Say if im doing something and it comes on I just stop what im doing, don't care about anything and have no hope for the future (cause I know it will return). Ive had to turn back and come home from walking to uni a few times cause of it.

Its not just anxiety cause I know what that is the best way I can decribe is a mixture of fear and grief :confused:

When it goes away I feel ok again and better than normal :confused:

This doesn't seem to interfere with other people's lives though so does anyone know what it is? It can't be depression since thats more of a perception thing.

Heartburn. Buy some Rennies. Though Refreshers are just as good, and a lot cheaper.

(S)he said it doesn't hurt physically.

I've never had one myself so I can't be sure, but maybe what you describ is an actual anxiety attack, not sure though.

a good candidate for my tsr moron society sig, if you ask me.

Well, somebody who wants to conclude that from judging a person based on one thread is clearly a hypocrite!

You had an opportunity to bring this thread back to the original topic. Well done on continuing the drift with taunts! Now please shut up.

I'm not really sure by what you mean by: ''hurts in the chest area but not physically''.

some people who believe in all that stuff would say it's something to do with your chakras and energy points (it's linked to eastern philosophies on healing like acupuncture) but I don't really know what else that could mean.

I think its a bit like when your throat hurts when crying (if anyone else gets that lol) except in the chest area :confused:

I'd say it is depression. It's a symptom of the ailments you have, and I know because I've been there. Overcoming the depression and anxiety is the key.

I mentioned heartburn as I often get that and mistaken it for a similar thing. Unfortunately, it's late and I didn't catch the bit about it not hurting psychically.

Thank you for the 'moron' comments, whichever insignificant t!t was that was. At least I made anon laugh.

Anon actually said they didnt think it was depression.

Stop being pedantic and go to bed yourself! In my honest opinion anxiety and depression are to blame. I think she knows this already, or she wouldn't have mentioned her anxiety and depression problems.

By the way, did you read the thread about PCOS and anxiety in which I helped a girl realise that her problems were linked to her hypothyroidism? Probably not. I'm such a 'moron', aren't I? :rolleyes:

I wasn't laughing in a nasty way :p:

Your probably right it seems like part of the whole anxiety thing but its strange cause it doesn't feel like anxiety and as far as I know I don't have depression, unless it comes in intense short bursts or something...

thanks for the replies guys

Ok...god....sorry. You don't have to prove anything to me, and why would you care if you were in my moron society anyway.

Just as much as I care that you don't like me. So knock it on the head. :smile:

Despite all the babble that's been said on here, I thought I might try and get a suggestion in. When I was suffering from depression, I had feelings like these. I even explained them to my GP when I went to see him. It's like someone was pressing down on my chest and making it hard to breathe and concentrate on anything else. The GP said it was an element of the depression, but it's also linked to stress and tension. It's like a natural reaction of the body to make you take stock of what's going on around you - it forces you to stop for a while. I usually end up crying, as that seems to release the tension (plus crying actually releases something that chills you out, so maybe that's got something to do with it).

If it is really bothering you then I would recommend talking to a professional about it. As you said it's not physical, it could just be stress.

I hope that helps a bit!

I sometimes have a similar feeling! And it can be due to stress and great anxiety, even if your life is not particularly stressful, since sometimes anxiety can be irrational. I used to have the feeling of being pushed inwards on the chest area and having to consciously breathe, and had a severe panic attack after several days of it - it is very unlikely to be a physical problem, you need to get to the root of it psychologically.

I get this too. Sometimes I don't feel like getting out of bed in the mornings because of an intense fear of going to class, dispite the fact there is nothing to be worried about! I don't understand why I get it, I think it's because I'm particularly stressed over small things all the time. I just try to relax, listen to music on my mp3 player and just force myself to go places when this happens.
