How can you tell if what you're experiencing is a reaction to your "real" illness or to anxiety? This is becoming a really big problem for me and the only solution I've found is to hide under the covers and avoid it all
separating your disease from anxiety feelings
I was diagnosed with neurocardiogenic syncope, a fainting disorder, 5 years ago and due to a whole host of complicated issues, am only now seriously dealing with it. For those who don't know, it's a condition where the majority of your blood pools in your feet-it doesn't flow correctly- and the lack of bloodflow to your head makes you dizzy and/or faint. This is particularly traumatic to me-after fainting several times in public places, I am agoraphobic, anticipating the next lapse of conciousness. My wonderful doctor has me trying a whole host of different medicines to help, but I can never tell if when I am not feeling well if it is anxiety or this condition.
