8 years! Never feel the same.. help me please
Posted , 4 users are following.
Its all started 8 years ago..
It started with death thoughts, Then doubts in people, then developed into extreme panic attacks which i get those attacks even from drinking water or wearing cloths ! Always have this thought in mind head " this will kill me "! How come wearing cloths will kill someone! Doesn't make sense.. but it still gets to me. I use to be an athlete back in time, and super active my day is full of activities! And now im just so lazy that i cant move or do anything. I feel careless & not motivated to do anything at all. This thing caused me trouble at work & with my wife. I feel empty all the time! Walking around with a body with no soul no feelings! Nothing at all! Not even towards my family! Can someone tell me please whats going on. Because im still hanging & i think there's hope for cure. When none of the doctors I visited gave me an answer. I just want to feel normal again..

Are you having panic attacks? I did this same thing! When I first started having panic attacks I thought anything and everything would cause it and would then have a panic attack because of it. I thought lotion would give me one, or that somebody was putting weed in my food because the only panic attack I ever had was when I smoked weed for the first and last only time ever! I thought people knew I was dying but wouldn't tell me because they wanted me to enjoy what days I had left....which was a year and a half ago, and guess what I am still breathing and I have learned how to manage these thoughts! Have you seen a doctor or a psychiatrist, maybe a therapist or counselor?
I went through this for almost 9 months and 8 of the 9 months in therapy teaching me how to "get out of my own head"
Good Luck to you! It sucks, but it will pass!

Hi this sounds to me like depression and anxiety. I am surprised the doctors you have seen can't help? Have they diagnosed you with anything? If not I would go back and have another word with them. Let us know how you get on please. x

Dear Ab101
Yes it does sound like depression but your thoughts towards doubting others and that something could kill you sounds like paranoia. The fact that your sane enough to write in and explain your condition, means all is not lost. You know cloth can't kill you, but you give in to the possiably; I'm guessing to be safe than sorry! Try surrounding yourself with cotten items, maybe one piece at a time. If you can prove to yourself cotten won't hurt you, you may be able to conquer that phobia. It's just a thought, and maybe see a therapist. Good luck.
