Is something wrong with my brain??

when I have long and severe anxiety attack, I feel like is something wrong with my brain...for a split of second I feel like I can't recognize things! Like I see a thing but I don't know what is it for a second...It happened to me few times and I also had confusion for a second, like I don't know how to use things...it made me super scared! Like I'm delirious I also had derealisation and depersonalisation... I suffer from severe health anxiety 24/7 and mini panic

Health anxiety and panic can definitely contribute to your symptoms. Have you had anxiety and panic for a long time? What can happen is that your brain is trying to protect you from stress , Believe it or not. That’s where the depersonalization and the derealization comes in. Not being able to identify something is part of that. i’ve had that happen also. Our brain is a very complex organ and when there is severe stress, it will respond in turn.
your brain is not damaged from that. But you do need to take care of yourself. Have you had a complete physical in the recent past? That will give you some peace of mind. The key is to learn how to manage the anxiety so that the symptoms go away or diminish. Symptoms are just your body‘s way of telling you that something is off which in your case is the anxiety and panic .
A very important part of gaining control is proper breathing which also relaxes the anxiety. Listen to a short meditation on YouTube called mindfulness breathing guided meditation 10 minutes. Also listen to meditation’s for anxiety and panic. Take care of yourself by getting some exercise, eating healthy, stay hydrated, stay busy and do things for other peo
ple.
If you know what is causing your anxiety, it can be very helpful to speak with a counselor.
TAKE care of your health. :heart:

Thank you very much!!! <3
I have anxiety since my childhood, but last three months were extremely horrible for me! I have very severe health anxiety and I can’t stop thinking about serious disease and my symptoms…it’s completely ruining my life, because I can’t focus to other things…I’m anxious and inside my inner world all day long! I can’t trust my doctors and I always googling my symptoms…It drove me pretty crazy!
But I have decided to change my life and now I’m taking self therapy (I’m not satisfied with my current therapist) I’m only 20 so I won’t live like this anymore!!!
But there are still symptoms that are causing my anxiety…I’m so tired of visiting doctors…

i can relate with you totally! AND IM VERY GLAD you are taking charge of your life.
Anxiety causes us to have negative thoughts, fear and doubts. best thing to do is stop googling symptoms because you can take almost any symptom and it will be present in ZILLION conditions, most not serious.
want you to know that when i was in mytwenties , i developed numerous symptoms and was convinced i had a terrible disease. I had severe weakness, eye floaters, numbness, tingling in arms, legs, head, muscle twitching all over, even eyelids! SHORTNESS OF BREATH, weird head feeling, foggy derealization, and more!
I WAS terrified. All tests normal!!
AT THAT TIME NO INTERNET so i thought no one in the world has this.
THEN I REALIZED how i have had chronic stress and anxiety since childhood. It all built up and up until finally my brain sent out all the symptoms telling me to do something. the body and mind can only take so much before it breaks down.
Remember, youve been checked out so like me, so all your symptoms are stress related.
WELL I am now in my fifties and doing well. i still have a little anxiety at times but can control it.
SO CAN YOU! Things I learned:
Put your health first.
Relax your mind as much as possible. Stop and smell the roses.
Dont take life too seriously
wake up with a grateful attitude
DO THINGS for others
YOU will have some days better than others but be a relentless fighter for yourself! :heart::heart::heart:
