sounds like a chronic infection....you could have lyme disease. I felt exactly like you for 4-5 years before I ended up in the ER with no white blood cells left and also infected with swine flu. I've been treating it the past 2 years and I slowly get better each day....but still no end in sight unfortunately :-(
hi im going through the most terrible time at the moment i cant eat or sleep my anxiety is through the roof i just keep thinking im going to stop breathing and think im going crazy my biggest fear in life is dying and thats all i think about every day but sometimes i wish i could just curl up and die so i dont have to go through this anymore if it wasnt for having children i think i might of topped my self which sounds silly cos im afraid of dying but i feel i cant go on anymore like this doctors just dont want to know they tell me just to take more pills i just wish i had a magic wand to make everyone like us better again i also do alot of crying asking what ive done so bad to be like this when there is so many bad people out there if not a care in the world
Hey guys my name is Eric and i too have been feeling like this. I noticed that when i thought about it though things would get way worse. I read a book about anxiety and came to the conclusion that feelings of unreality and feelings of lightheadedness is caused by depersonalization or derealization. Pretty much it means that you are stressed to the point where you withdrawal yourself from the world. The longer you think about it the worse it gets. The good news is that these feelings you are feeling are natural brain functions. When your brain is tired or worn out it puts itself in this mode to protect itself. So if you feel weird or out of it sometimes don't panic and just think to yourself that its a good thing that you feel like that because it means your body is still working right. Google dp and dr for more information. I found tons of information about this anxiety disorder. But remember one thing that yes these symptoms are similar to brain cancer but the major difference is that someone with brain cancer even in the most mild stages has severe headaches and extreme confusion. These symptoms have not been present in my fight against anxiety so as long as you dont have those then your going to be just fine.
OMG i thought i was the only one who felt this way! I feel so relieved right now, knowing that I'm not the only one who's been dealing with this...
I've been feeling "out of it" for about 3 months now. I've just been constantly being bombarded with worries about everything in school and everyone around me. I keep worrying about the most irrelevant things, like whether I'll turn stupid one day, or what to do if I fart in class. It's just the most random things, but I keep worrying about anything and everything I think of.
I guess it's because I'm a really sensitive person and care a lot about what others think of me, but I was never like this before and I'm really scared and worried. Another reason might be because I started hanging out with the wrong group of people at school since grade 7 and was bullied until this year, when I finally pulled away from them. I used to love talking to people and got very high grades in school, but now I feel like everything's changed. I can't even concentrate on schoolwork anymore, and am always anxious about something. It went away for a while after september, but now it's back. I just feel so hopeless and sometimes want to kill myself, thinking that anything is better than living in this body right now. I've always wanted to go to an ivy league school and do great things in life, but this problem is making it really hard for me to accomplish my goals. I'm 16 right now, and am soon going into univeristy, but with this problem, I feel like I won't get accepted into any university.
Are the any suggestions for making it go away? Because I'm really tired of living like this and I feel like I can't take it anymore.

I am on here at 3am because I have not been able to sleep. I have had anxiety for years now and just recently got on celexa. I have been getting VERY bad panic attacks. I get sweaty, shaky and feel like I'm going crazy and there's nothing to do to stop it. I sometimes wonder if it is OCD too because I have horrible obsessive thoughts lke recently I've been terrified that I'm going to hurt people, and I would never do it, I'm just so scared I will. I lay in bed just shaking and I feel like I need serious help, I don't know what's wrong with me and I'm starting to lose hope that this will ever change. I honestly would rather die then go through this, I don't know what's wrong.
I am thankful to have found this post. It is so good to hear that I am not alone. I have been suffering with anxiety for over a year now and it has wreaked havoc on my life. I started out having panic attacks and the I had a constant feeling of dizziness. Now my panic attacks are not as bad but the anxiety and bad thoughts are terrible and even worse than the panic attacks. I have had my thyroid checked because I heard that could be contributing to the problem. My blood work came back normal which freaked me out worse. Now i found out I have adrenal fatigue which controls your fight and flight responses. i am getting treated for it and also just started taking some natural supplements called amoryn for depression and Seredyn for anxiety. They seem to be helping . It may be something that will help all of you. It is worth a try and better than the prescription drugs out there. I know the more we worry the worse it will get. So lets all work on being positive and believing we are going to conquer this. Best of luck to all of us !!!
i have been going insane so it feels like but i am finally getting the doctors to listen to me and find out what is wrong after nine years but things have gotta worse for me the blackingout and headches and dizziness and now i feel as i aam dying and everything me is not normal and pressure in the back of my head and chest will hurt and mucsles cramping and pulling. i am 25 this isnt suppose to happen i am still to young for all this. my heart will fast away cause i am getting scare and afriad of what might happen before they can figure something out. i see a specialist now. my old doctor has ran test on top of tests everything is good they say something is wrong or i wounldnt be doing this and i have wented to the hospitals still nothing and i hve been check for stress everything good. so if this doctor dont find out anything the lord will heal me
Hi, Its funny how reading your post actually made me create an account. The reason y is because i feel the same way some of the things your going thru iam also going thru and iam just tired of feeling like this i want to be my old self. I even considered going to get some help but iam kind of embarrassed. When i tried talking to my family about it they just laugh and brush me off like iam playin so then it gets worst the anxiety,chills,light headedness,fatigue,isolation,sadness,worry, i even feel like my face is shrinking i know it sounds super crazy but i got to tell someone. Iam just down and out an dont know which way to turn to.
Hello everyone,
Like everyone else said, I thought i was the only one going thru this stuff.. Feel like im going insane feel like something bad could happen at anytime. Sudden panic attacks for no reason. Yes just randomly one day this stuff all came on. Ive been to the hospital and councilers many time, and everyone says i have aniexty disorder. This not a fun thing to live with. I do also have those thoughts of hurting someone i love or myself, but believe i would never ever do that. I also get this feeling like i could just snap and i would go insane and have to be sent to mental institution. I have been takin adivan when i start to get the panic attacks and that seems to work good enough to calm me down. But those thoughts are always still in my head. I hate living this way and wish it just could all go away. I have an appointment scheduled with a psycologist and hope that with help i will be able to get thru this. I feel very depressed and almost like im not in control of my life anymore. I do feel better that im not the only one going thru this but still the thoughts dont go away. I am debating going on antidepressants because ive been told it may get worse. I just hope that i can get over this and for the others that are gonig thru this i wish the best for you aswell. Just keep ur head up and try and keep ur mind off it. If anyone ever finds out a reason behind all this i hope they can post there answers and ways the delt with this.
Thanks and if anyone wants to talk about it feel free to reply.
i cannot believe i found this thread, this is what i have been going through for about a month and a half. i do have bipolar2, i realize this and have accepted it. but these are brand "new" and scary symptoms for me low body temp. 76.8 and less, the choking feeling that i believe is what the beginning post had, constant ringing in my ears, as well i now get severe migraines. i am 40, never had a migraine until a month half ago, i have had 5 since then. even with the knowledge and understanding my depression, these "new" symptoms are too much to take.
i honestly don't have an idea what to do, feeling i'm at the end of the thin rope i am clinging to, loosing grip. my wife understands the severe pain emotionally and physically i am in and is helping me to get through this, but i told her tonight, i feel like i am losing touch with reality. i don't expect answers to my personal hell, just knowing that i am not the only one that feels this way is both sad and comforting.
I'm wondering how the Amoryn worked for you while getting off your antidepressants. I'm currently trying to get off my Effexor and would like to replace it with Amoryn. I ordered the Amoryn and this is my 2nd day taking it. I took it yesterday with the Effexor, but I'm thinking about not taking the Effexor today...Or should I wean off the Effexor and take the Amoryn at the same time?
it sounds like you are having anxiety and panic. i have been suffering with it for 12 years now. when i am on my meds (40mg prozac) i am fine. when i stop taking it the racing thoughts, sleepless nights start all over again. i feel like i am going crazy, i cant breath, swallow sometimes. i get so scared that i just want to run. sweet heart you are not alone. millions of people suffer from the same thing. consult your doctor, things will ge:-)
reading your post brought a calm over me. it feels good to know that nothing is wrong with me. i have been dealing with this for years and each time it happens i feel like i am going nuts. i try to remind myself that i have been down this road before and it will get better.
it will get better. i have suffered for years. my doctor first put me on prozac 40mg. i felt great. all those crazy feels and fears were gone. i started to feel better and then stop taking the meds. THOSE THOUGHTS came back. i am now back on my meds. since i had not taken them in 5 months i am having to start the process of letting them build up in my system all over again. it has been 3 weeks. i feel a little better but not 100%. i dont know if my story will help you but just know that you are not alone and there is help available. i start "talk therpay" tomorrow.
