I was feeling strangely sleepily, then all of the sudden I felt like my brain snapped and my personality/mindset changed. Like, I viewed my house from a different cognitive perspective? I ignored it, until I thought it could be brain cancer. Like it feels weird in my head, and all throughout my body. NOTE: I have bad anxiety, especially recently. I have been super paranoid about things lately. But I'm really scared. )= I've been crying, not sure if this is brain cancer or not. And it's scaring me so bad that now I'm feeling nauseas. And I read that that is one of the symptoms so it made it even worse. Please someone reply

    Hi im not a doctor but it doesnt sound like brain cancer to me.  You would be getting different symptoms...sounds like anxiety to me...i have suffered anxiety since i was 14 and im not 49 and i have experienced the weirdest senstions and feelings all over my body especially my mind.  Feelings of unreality...time and space not being quite right..panic attacks..nausea...dizzines.  I only really found out what it was when i read a book by Claire Weekes and some of the things that she wrote about were spot on for me so then i went to talk to a psychiatrist and he confirmed severe anxiety.  If you are still worried take a trip to your doctor and have them confirm what is really going on with you.,  I know how bad anxiety can be and how weird you can feel with it.   Good luck and please take care..hope you are feeling better soon.

      Thank you.. One more thing, though, please.. I fell asleep and woke better, but a couple hours later I felt the same thing. I feel like my brain is detiorating and "chipping away" slowly.. Like I'm losing my brain literally or something.. What do you think this means.. And also last night I felt like I was gonna pass out from nausea/anxiety or something

      Hey. I have been through the exact same as you a few months back. The likelihood of yu having brain cancer is pretty small. The likelihood of you having anxiety is much bigger.

      Just like you I was terrified of brain tumours and brain cancer. I had an mri, guess what. My brain was fine!

      Some advice that i will give you is to sort your anxiety issues out sooner than later before you start moving onto other illnesses which you do not have. Anxiety causes a lot of different symptoms which can mimic different diseases. The more you think about it, the worse it gets..

      Try therapy to help with your anxiety. I do this and it has made me think differently about things a little. Good luck x
