Not sure if this is anxiety and depression .

Mental health

Hello every one. Hope you are all well.

I've been having a problem for the past few months. And really need some advice. (It's a weird one).

A few weeks back, for some reason I was insanely fatigued. Physically, mentally and emotionally I was drained. Barely was able to get out of bed and go shopping.

(Though embarrassingly, I was strangley very horny.)

Week later I was the complete oposite. My mind was on over drive. It was like some one had injected me with a narcotic. Couldn't stop my mind from racing through thought after thought. Couldn't stop music repeating in my head. Took me hours to fall asleep (even though I was tired) and when I did sleep, it felt like I was up all night. I didn't fall into a deep sleep.

(Both of those experiences really worried me, and I have again started to become a hypercondriac).

Now, however, I am experiencing both. It's the weirdest feeling. I feel full of energy. My mind is racing, like ive been injected with adrenaline. Though at the same time I can barely muster the motivation to get out of bed.

I keep getting insane bursts of high energy. But not physically. It's so hard to explain. My brain just races along and I can barely make sense of it.

I can't control my thoughts really well, and for some reason it's difficult to imagine. So for example if I close my eyes and try to imagine a box, or house, it's really difficult to focus or paint the picture (if that makes sense).

All of that I can just about deal with, though it's the not sure I am sleeping issue.

I know I am sleeping, but at the same time, I can recall every thing that happens around me when I am asleep. It doesn't feel like ive slept, but instead tossed and turned all night.

To top it all off, I keep having random days or moments of insane "hornyness". (Which is unusual for me as I usually have quite a low sex drive).

(Also not sure if related, but in the evenings, my feet feel like they swell up? Very weird. My toes and ankles feel fatter almost every evening. )

Is this anxiety? Has the past few month been anxiety? I don't feel particulary anxious. So I dunno.

Recently had a full load of blood tests done, as I've recently also been having a really bad belly. All blood tests have been fine as far as I have been told.

Haven't taken anti depressants or anti anxiety pills for over 4 years now as I haven't needed them.

Any advice or thoughts would be much opreciated.

Thank you!

Failed to mention, shaking/trembling.

I've had this jelly, shaky feeling too.

Like a slight tremble, that some times becomes enough you can see it in my hands or feet.

To best explain, you know when you lift some thing really heavy for a while. Then you put it down, your arms feel strange, like jelly and weak. That's what I keep getting to.

Hello there i read your post and this sounds like anxiety on a low level but a hypocondriac is a bit more complicated. Anxiety can create physicall and mental effects which can range from constant worry, vomiting,nausea, low sex drive, anger,frustration,head tension, head aches, tingling sensations, low blood pressure, flutter in chest, dull ache, chest pain, and overall in severe situations depression. But as for the hypocondriac side unless diagnosed the symptoms are constant panic and worry about being in bad health its only the worry about something bad happening to you when in fact its not.

Every body is diffrent and many symptoms range from everything listed but if your a young adult or teenager this can be from hormones changing resulting in the sudden spike in sexual arousal aka hornyness and this is perfectly normal anxiety can leave you completly drained physically and mentally which leads into a slow stable depression if you can act quick and can think positively until it becomes who you are elimiating the negativity inside of you will reverse this phase and condition and you can eventually find the peace you need i hope this helps and i wish you the very best in battling and overcoming anxiety

Thank you for the replies.

I know the broad symptoms of anxiety and depression, as stated I took medication for it.

I am 27. So it would be puberty or the hormones :D

I thought this all feels / sounds like anxiety, though I don't have much to be anxious about. And I've had sever anxiety and depression in the past, but nothing like this. It was also just very sudden.

I've never had my brain feel so out of control and wired like this before.
