Help i feel like something is severly wrong with me

Posted , 9 users are following.

I have been having a rough 2 weeks yesterday being the end of my period. Today i woke up feeling ok better than yesterday. I went outside for some air and when i got in i felt a strange feeling come over me. My legs and arms became weak than i had a bit of anxiety. I felt somewhat disconnected from reality. I have a bit of lower back pain, head presure but the shakiness won't go away. I am so scared thinking all sorts of bad illnesses. Also i have been smelling a gas smoky smell that is not there. I heard some woman get in when going through. i made an appointment to see my doctor again. She must be so tired of seeking me. The same old process having all results to come back ok. What do us women do. I feel so alone in this battle. Help please

    Other then the gas/smoke smell.. I CURRENTLY feel just like your post. This the fifth day since my period ended and I don't know if it's hormones or not. While sitting at my desk yesterday a "strange " sensation came over me. Good thing I work in a doctor's office, so I was able to get an ekg that was normal. However the nervous, jittery, just out of sorts feeling keeps coming and going. I saw my PCP this morning and she ordered labs, didn't seem to concerned

    My hands are sweaty also, it's so scary..

    I hope that you and I feel better soon.

      Latrina its a strange feeling that i can't even explain. I never felt it before. Has me worried. But i guess this all has to do with hormones. Wishing you a great day. Hugs

    hello. that disconnected feeling is called derealization and especially tags along with the anxiety during peri. I have had it along with all of your symptoms. I got some relief from it using progesterone cream. my progesterone was low as many people in early peri which creates an estrogen dominance. and the estrogen dominance is notorious for giving us anxiety and derealization. and also learning not to react to the derealization. is huge. it's scary and this junk is horrendous. here's a big HUG! you are not alone.

    I think Lisa is right. I have terrible anxiety and, more often than I would like, go into a depersonalization and disassociative state. I wonder if for you, since this was 14 days after your period, it is related to ovulation or something mid-cycle? Or just work/life stress trying to hold it all together during peri!
