Is it anxiety or something serious?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi. I have tried telling my parents there may be something really wrong with me. As weeks on end, my eyesight has been weird, I space out a lot and fear of dying one day. Headaches, numbness and tingles in legs, arms and hands, sick to stomach, my eyes feel weird, tingles in head and uncomfortable, can't concentrate, feel detached from life. I also feel sick to my stomach like I might vomit or faint. Are these all symptoms of anxiety? I even dreamed yesterday that the anxiety symptoms I get in reality, was getting worst and I died in my dream and woke up quickly with a panic attack as it felt so real. I'm scared and would really like some help, please. I struggled with anxiety for 9 years.

when I was in my 20s, the exact same thing happened to me. I told my parents something is really wrong and I mentioned all of the symptoms I had including numbness in tingling in the legs arms hands, weird sensation in the head, feeling detached, I had ringing in my ears and floaters in my eyes also. Plus several other symptoms.
They took me to a neurologist and my testing was normal. I felt like the only one in the world this was happening to and there’s no answer. Then I remembered that I had major anxiety since the age of five.
What happened was that all the anxiety builds up over the years and the body can only take so much stress before it has a breakdown. I realized that all of my symptoms were due to long-term anxiety and stress.
it’s like the straw that broke the camels back. It’s not the symptoms that are the problem. It’s the unmanaged anxiety and stress that causes the symptoms. Your body is trying to tell you that there’s too much anxiety and or stress.
none of those symptoms ever hurt me because now I am in my 50s. I wanted you to know that so you would not be too afraid. Some of the things I did to feel better ......
i Did get some counseling because this is very difficult to deal with alone. It really helps to vent to somebody who can help you and give you some ideas to feel better. did get some counseling because this is very difficult to deal with alone.

Another thing I did was to stop over reacting to my symptoms because when I reacted emotionally, they all got worse.

i actually ignored many of them because I knew it was nothing serious.
I had to take one day at a time and make sure that I eat healthy and get some exercise.
i also listen to meditations are YouTube for anxiety and sleep daily. Mostly when I lay down to sleep I listen and they really relax me. There’s hundreds of them.
my symptoms would sometimes pop up when I became anxious but they don’t scare me like they used to. I don’t get them nearly as much as I used to. Most of them have subsided over the years.
so I always recommend that when people develop new symptoms, they should visit their doctor for a check up so they can have peace of mind. see if your parents can take you for a check up.
you are going to be OK. I highly doubt that your symptoms are anything serious. Take one day at a time. Try to relax your mind as much as possible. We are here for you! ❤

Thank you so much Jan. I really appreciate you being very kind enough to message you privately. I would like to overcome this one day and just feel like the very old me when I was so much happier around everyone. But my face expressions have been pretty dull since I'm just mostly depressed and it honestly sucks. I'm hoping to go see an actual therapist after the New Years. And I really give you a lot of credit for dealing with those anxiety symptoms for so many years but I'm glad you had learn to overcome this. ❤

Hi Kevin. I'm terribly sorry that you went through the same thing as me. I still feel like that and it's really scary to deal with this alone. And sorry, I would add you on snapchat but I don't have one anymore. The only app I really use or active on is Messenger.
