Brain fog, lack of sleep, dizinezz and weight loss

Mental health
1

Hello guys,

reaching again for help. My symptoms started 2 months ago after an outing that included drinks with a coworker who brought up horrible time in my life that happaned 6 yrs ago; which included a toxic relationship,physical illness & potential loss of my job. Ever since that conversation my life & dreams have been shattered. The following day after hanging out with him, i developed severe brain fog and its been down hill since then. My life was amazing prior to that conversation. I have a beautiful fiancé and baby on the way. I don't have a need to be anxious. I do not take any medication.

Symthoms:

Heart rate: my average heart rate is between 100-150bpm

Brain fog 24/7 Derealization(Worst at night, when trying to sleep)

Weight loss- 20 pounds so far

lack of sleep- sleeping around 3-4 hours a night

Dizziness all the time

Cold feet 24/7

Feeling like i'm losing my mind

Actions taken to improve my life:

A lot prayers to God

 

Spoke to a therapist 1 week ago. He assured me that i'm not losing my mind.

Spoke to to the Coworker about my situation again hoping i would feel better, but i haven't 

Went to Dr for blood work that came back normal.

I have another appointment on Friday and I will see if i can get an MRI.

Spoke to my fiancé regarding what happaned 6 yrs ago, which helped a little.

Can anyone please help me or give me any ideas what could be happening. A few people  on here said it could be PTSD. But my life was perfectly fine before that.

Forgot to add; I'm also developing a strong pressure pain on my forehead. I'm constantly googling in order to find some answer to my symptoms.

Don't google!!! It will only freak you out. Do not.  It is funny but one thing can begin a spiral into anxiaty but you may notice you have always been a little more on the anxious side but this is now full blown anxiaty. Mine came after a medical scare that gave me a panic attack but once the medical issue ended up nothing my anxiety went away then, back but for no reason now it has been a few years of getting it under control having physical symptoms then freaking out about them. You need to talk to your doctor about an anxiety care plan to get your life back.

Perhaps you didn't deal with the emotional side of what you went through and now it's all finally caught up and hit you all at once...what I would say is...the past is the past...it's like a scab..if you keep picking at it,it will not heal....draw a line under it and put it to bed....Everytime it comes into your head... immediately force your brain to think of something else...you won't achieve this overnight,but if you stick to it with time you will gradually get better...look in the mirror and tell yourself...it's time to let go..x
