So about 3-4 weeks ago, I felt like I was going crazy and I couldn't sleep. Then it started to die down for the next week or so and I started feeling better. Then about a week ago, I woke up at like 7 a.m. and I couldn't fall asleep. Ever since that day, I've had trouble falling asleep and I felt like I was losing my sanity. For the past couple days, its been hard for me to concentrate at school and I feel lightheaded. It's still pretty hard for me to go to sleep and I get chills, even though the heat is on. I also have a sensitivity to light and it feels like theres something in my throat. Also, for the past 3-4 days ive gotten really homesick, im getting feelings of wanting to go home.

I don't know if this is related but around early march, i had feelings like there was something in my throat and i woke up feeling like i couldnt breathe. I thought this was due to my allergies or something, but it didnt clear up for a while. I also had rashes a couple times during this time. I don't know if its severe anxiety or what because I was going through finals when i started to break out in rashes and got the feelings in my throat. THe symptoms that i am currently experiencing feel like it is anxiety (from what i have read over the internet), but i was reading a site and it listed similar symptoms to that of a brain tumor. Its really startin to freak me out. Can someone please explain?

Hi,
I didn't get your first name when reading the post online. I read your concerns regarding ...going crazy..lightheadedness, chills, not falling asleep. I have experienced these same symptoms many times...over the last few years. Yes years. I truly know and understand what you are describing. Fear not though...I believe it is Anxiety but maybe not by itself. There could also be need of a tweek with your thyroid. Just because a blood test comes back saying the thyroid is in the "normal" range, doesn't mean that's how you best function. Anyway, I literally would feel like I was crazy, like what if I go crazy and hurt someone, or jump out of the car I'm driving..etc. I would get chills out of nowhere...not sick...not cold. OMG....the throat thing...not easy describing that one to people huh? It is what people refer to as a "frog in the throat". It comes from worry, and fear. I know...you don't feel like you are purposely worrying, or are afraid. But the simple fact that you mentioned you read about brain tumors...tells me that yes, you do worry. And now it's about your health, that is more than likely good...except for these anxiety attacks. Now you will freak yourself out reading health concerns online. And, oh yeah...they could all be diseases you have because you are experiencing some of the stuff they mention. Stop....don't read that stuff. Stress and lonliness and uncertainty is all it takes to start a cycle of anxiety. And anxiety can be treated. You can't sleep because you're thinking too much, not to mention waiting for some unpredictable thing to happen. Please feel free to write me back if you are so inclined. I want to help ease your worry. gigi

I was doing a google search when I came across these messeges. I am not sure if I have the same thing with anxiousness and all. But, I was diagnosed with insomnia last year and have no idea what to make of all this. I could be anxious but have tried many things to calm myself and honestly don't think I'm worrying or being anxious Question

. However, does it explain my ..allergic symptoms? My throat and mouth burn and I feel really odd, things just keep getting worse. I am only 16, I don't think there could be too much wrong with me. I feel really sick to my stomach sometimes, really nauseated (especially after I eat to rid the possibly hungry burn and abdominal cramping). Could this all be anxiety?
