Ive also had neck muscle tension issues as well .. i dont know what it is but im getting anxiety from it.. all i wanna do is keep my eyes closed and sleep it away.. its scaring me.. i do have severe anxiety.. but i hate to just chalk up everything i feel up to that.. any help please
What you're describing is depersonalisation, yeah. Anxiety does that and it affects our cognitive function a lot. We can't concentrate easily, our mind is foggy. I get it. I get that too. Have you received any therapy for your anxiety?
I get this feeling too but also tension headaches and sometimes eyes hurt and hard to focus but the reality it's all caused by anxiety like Needhelp asap said
Yes im in therapy.. doing dbt.. its so scary its 24/7 why wont it go away.. everyone says its anxiety but tge strange feelings happen first then the panic from the symptoms come on.. n i actually feel like ive been doing pretty good with my stress n anxiety lately.. im so scared. Its a scary feeling..
I feel like im on a boat today swaying too
You have to know that even if you don't have visible anxiety, you can still have it subsconsciously especially when you're an anxious person. Our bodies react to anxiety by letting out weird symptoms and sensations to let us know we have to do something about it. Even if you don't feel like highly anxious, stress can still affect you, and everyone with an anxiety disorder more than people who don't have it. And then there's panic of course, I know. Try to relax and hang in there. Nothing lasts forever. It's ups and downs.
Ok thank u for ur support
You get the visual disturbances like i explained too?? I get muscle tension in head n neck as well. Its truely scarey ive been crying all day thinking sometging is really wrong with my brain..
I have been experiencing very similar sensations. It's hard to explain and I keep using the term light headed but that doesn't seem to really describe it accurately. Brain fog, heavy headed, fuzzy, and near faint and it comes out of the blue. I have been put on Xanax and that does help me. Sometimes it's just chemical and we need to give our brains some help.
Do you see that colors are werid, shadows n stuff like that?
