I've been a sufferer of anxiety for 10 years which was always a social anxiety. However, for the past 4-5 months I have been suffering BAD!! It feels different from before, I still get the racey heart and panic side of things but it's these new feelings I just can't get my head around. I feel lightheaded, my eyes feel strained (tired), my left ear feels strange although I can hear fine, I can't concentrate properly, I feel spacey like disconnected and I have lack of appetite. I've not got the motivation like I used to have. I wouldn't say I feel depressed though, I'm more frustrated and fed up of all these physical symptoms ruling my life when I don't even feel anxious (apart from worrying it could be something other than anxiety)!! I'm suffering 24/7 and there seems to be no sign of it letting up!
Can anyone relate? Maybe someone has some tips and tricks for me? Thank you Xx
Hi kat I can totally relate! I have the exact same symptoms every single day, some worse then others and I always have horrible headaches along with it too! It's so frustrating I just want it all to go away😞 you can talk or fb me anytime and we can help eachother out!xx
Yep I have wierd head sensations 24/7 it's really distressing and makes me even more anxious as I'm wondering what is wrong with me constantly and can't cope feeling like this forever
I've had every blood test possible, physical examinations and have a ct scan booked but only coz i asked for it. My doctor is certain it's all anxiety. Like you say dizzy doll, it causes me to feel anxious!! I so hope it clears off soon!!
I've been anxious all my life but severely after my first son was born and I was diagnosed with thyroid condition I was on meds n came off to get pregnant, after my 2nd sons birth I got all the horrible head sensations and anxiety beyond belief I was put on citalopram snd it went after a couple of months, I was weaning off the cit and it all came bk and I've now been struggling with it continuously for a month it's driving me mad, I'm going back on the meds but it's taking awhile to kick in, I don't feel I can ever come off them again coz my symptoms are to over powering and I can't cope x
It sounds like with all those new physical symptoms it could be more than anxiety. I'd get a complete physical and hopefully some doctor can figure out if somethng in particular is going on with you.
hi dizzydoll. I hate to say this but most medications are somewhat addicting, some more, some less. I was put on chlonopan and am struggling to get off it. It used ot help but when I read all the bad side effects and experienced a lot of them, I've been working to get off them. If it's a benzodiazapine, (I never heard of citalopram) then there is a lot of support on You Tubes with numerous people telling their withdrawal stories and there are support groups to go to for help with general drug withdrawal. Best Wishes
