really anxious and scared this morning

My anxiety has come back quite a bit within the past week. I think the stress of moving, trying to find a place to live, and my crap apartment right now are getting to me. We're tapped out on $$ until payday. And our fridge busted last night...EVERYTHING in that thing is ruined...200+ bucks gone down the drain. The stupid apartment manager wouldn't even send anyone until this morning, wtf am I supposed to do with 2 kids?! The maintenence man still isnt here. We have a leak in the bathroom sink, and our dryer has ruined 50+ bucks worth of clothes...they have yet to fix that even after complaining. So I've been nervous a whole heck of a lot more. And last night into this morning I've experiences a new symptom that has me absoultely terrified. I only noticed it when I was trying to fall back to sleep and when I was just waking up. I had a static...or buzzing feeling in my left breast and arms; but nothing was numb. Then while trying to fall back to sleep, it felt like my heart was skipping A LOT..i guess i could've been going in and out of consciousness, and it only happened while trying to fall asleep, if i woke myself up I didn't feel it anymore. What the heck was all that!?

WOW! You have alot on your plate. It's no wonder you're feeling as you do. What have you done for fun? Have you left the apartment & gone for a walk? What about a trip to the library? Maybe walk the kids to the park. You will all feel much better. I have had

Wow that is a lot to handle and can seem much bigger for those of us dealing with anxiety. Have comfort that it will be resolved soon and the ideas of the other post are great ones. Just remove yourself from the situation to give yourself some much needed relief. As to the sensation that you are experiencing, I have this too; it is like a vibration in my left shoulder and arm. I never told a doctor about it because i didn't know where the heck it could be comming from. I only experience it on and off but can relate because it is annoying. My best for you in the hope that all will be well. L

I have an anxiety symptom where my left shoulder (the whole thing) will twitch. Somewhere under my shoulder blade a nerve twitches big time. Its not like a twitch that is rythmic, rather its just one big twitch. It started the day I had my first panic attack two years back. Its just one of those oddities of dealing with this nastiness.

sounds like you have a lot going on that would understandably cause anyone stress....i have to keep reminding myself that its okay to have anxiety, anxiety can't hurt me and i'm not going crazy.

My ds was having more than usual physical symptoms.
We had painters coming in and painting common areas and our individual apartment doors.
He was so glad I was off work last Monday he is very uncomfortable dealing with strangers.
Thank-fully they got it done so he wouldn't have to deal with it.
Stresses me out.
Moving is hard no matter what and add to that your anxiety it is understandable you are going through a really rough time.
Take some time off/out.
Sometime just giving yourself permission to do that will help big time.
Hopefully things will improve.
Take care hon.
