Hello I'm Mitchel

I just wanted to share my story with you guys to see if maybe I have anxiety or something else.

Since June of this year I started to get anxiety. It all started with shortness of breath and it never left. I have severe panic attacks since then. My hands will lock up and I would go numb everywhere. I guess I hyperventilated. Well that lasted for a few months. But about 2 months my vision started to act weird like I was detached from myself. So I went on and tried not to freak out as much but 3 weeks ago my vision just took a toll on me and I started freaking out and feeling like I was going to die. Since then my symptoms have been getting worst. I started losing my appetite constant fear that I will get a heart attack or have every disease I can think off. Today my legs felt like they wanted to give out and I was in constant fear all day. I had no break of just thinking I was going to die and feeling weird. Sometimes I have a hard time swallowing my own silica but I can eat and drink fine. I shake and get nervous fast. I fear that I'm going to drop dead from a heart attack any second now. I had ekgs done and my heart looks great. My blood pressure was 116/65 my pulse 90 my oxygen 100 my temp 97. Is this anxiety? Can someone out there relate? I feel like I'm all alone and no one understands my symptoms . they prescribed me Prozac haven't taken it until 4 days ago. I can't keep living like this

    I have the same thing with vision/detached.

    I'm working on not letting it have meaning, so that it will go away

      Thank you so much for replying!

      I feel like there's something else wrong with me

      I'm constantly on the edge of thinking I'm going to die this instant but I keep pushing. But it toys with me. I get courage yo accept it or be stronger from it, then a symptom kicks in and scares the heck out of me

      And I always think I'm gonna go crazy. Try CBT, it's actually been really helping me. Our feelings are meaningless. We need to stop giving them weight

    Definitely sounds like anxiety..consider anti anxiety meds prescribed by a doctor along with the antidepressant. My son has very bad anxiety and it took the combination of the 2.He is much netter now.Also a psycologist would probably be much better at getting the right dosage for your situation then a gp.Psycologist told my son that dose gp prescribed was like trying to put out a forest fire with a watering can.I hope you feel much better soon.

      I think with all the strange physical symptoms the anxiety creates it tends to make a person focus on anxiety about their health.I do that alot to.Just try telling yourself its just the anxiety..let the fear of the physical symptoms go as much as you can.And try and stay positive..it will get better
