hi guys, i have been struggling with a condition for a few months. i kept having very messy images flashing in my mind which i am unable to make up what exactly it is. it makes me feel very rushed and uncomfortable, and anxious as if someone was rushing me to think of something. sometimes my heart rate will increase and i will feel a little bit nauseous. this happens very randomnly and lasts for a few minutes. i tried to sing songs to stop it but it is not helping. does anyone have any idea if i am suffering from anxiety or what condition am i facing?
Hi nic yes it sounds like anxiety, deep breathing exercises do help x
It's hard to say. More detail is really needed.
This sort of thing may be a result of anxiety or depression, but don't sound much like either itself. If anything it sounds like a characteristic of schizophrenia if you show any other symptoms or a result of lack of sleep. You could also be making a subconscious effort to do it.
If any other issues have occurred such as odd but stern beliefs, seeing things, getting anxious at points other than when the images come up, etc. It could really help if you told us about such.
Also, It would help to know if this happens with your eyes open or only closed, or if they usually happen just before you go to sleep.
I hope these images stop soon x
