Hi All,
I have always been a big worrier. Usually about things that I shouldnt be worrying about and stuff I cant control.
Over the past few years my anxiety has gotten much worse, especially over the past week. It makes me not want to do anything. I am in constant anxiety mode. I always fear the "spaced out feeling" happening.
My symptoms include feeling spaced out/in a dream, shakiness, weak hands and legs, contants thoughts about how I feel. constantly fidgeting, lightheaded. The first thought in the morning is "how do I feel today?". The more I think about it the worse it gets.
Is this something others have felt? Is there any way to get myself back to my old self?
Hi Tom, unfortunately yes I understand how you feel. Is there anything in particular that is worrying you? It may be worth going to your doctor to explain, they can help with medication and with therepy services. They will also see if there is possobly any other condition that you may be suffering from.
I have gone down these routes and am still exploring so hopefully i will start to have an improvement soon and hopefully soon, so too will you.
Good luck x
Hello,
What I fear is the anxiety itself. I fear the feeling of anxiety and feeling spaced out. I know there is nothing wrong and that it is in my own head but I cannot seem to get rid of the worry.
I know exactly what you mean I really do. It's always 'what if' and things like that.
Have you been to your doctor?
I also fear the dizzy/passing out feeling..that is what gives me the most worry.
I have not gone to the DR. I do not want to go on medicine since that only covers the problem.
yes I know what you mean. But you will probably never faint as your blood pressure dueing an attack increases and it needs to drop for you to pass out i belive.
You don't have to go on medication, they can help in other ways too. I definitely would recommend you go hun, even just to talk to a professional x
thank you. Apprecaite your feedback =)
No problem, let me know how you get on x
I feel like I've just read exactly what I'm feeling and I'm sick of it now! I try everyday to fight it and go out etc but it's ridiculous! I hope we both find a way out some way!
If you want to talk messaged away i know exactly how your feeling! my fear is fainting and the feeling of anxiety I can't stand it
Hi Shaunie,
So you always feel spaced out/in a dream? I was used to this feeling but when i started getting the feeling like im about to pass out (i never do), my nerves get so bad! I feel like am about to pass out but never quite get there. Sometimes it comes out of nowhere. This feeling is why I never want to do anything. Things I used to love doing I dont want to do becuase I am afraid. It sucks!
honestly tom your explaining everything i feel, I also get the feeling that I'm going to faint/callapse I won't leave the house unless I'm with someone because I'm that scared, every day I feel like it's a dream like I'm not really here and I hate it I feel so detached from everyone and everything! I really thought I was the only person who felt tthis way
have you ever been to a dr?
yep, I go near enough every week because I still don't believe what I'm feeling is anxiety, I have anxiety disorder and depression they put me on citalapram which helped me so much I also was referred to see a therapist which I didn't do because I struggle to explain my feelings! I can't be on citalapram as I'm pregnant so been took of them I'mstruggling so bad now have you bbeen to the Dr's?
I have not been to a dr. I am afraid of having an attack there. but I do not want to go on medicine. I am hoping this is a phase and that it will eventually pass...so scary
Would you see a therapist? maybe go to the Dr's with someone? I always have someone with me
Would you see a therapist? I always take someone to the Dr's with me would you take some one?
I would...but my mom said she went through what I am when she was younger and she tells me what her therapist told her so i am not sure hwo helpful they will be...
are you always tired? I feel like I am always exasuted and my mind is always thinking about my anxiety
I am constantly tired I feel like my eyes are always going to close on me so that makes me panic as well, I think a therapist would really help you my sister is just like us she seen a therapist and she's so much better!
talking to someone helps, I'm constantly thinking hhow do I feel, do I feel okay do I feel spaced out do I feel weird all the time it's on my mind 24/7 it's exhausting but I don't know how else to think
I think a therapist is my next option...its nice knowing someone else feels like me
