HELP !! I’ve been getting anxiety, but I don’t believe what my doctor tells me and today I had an anxiety attack? That started by me seeing my surroundings differently and feeling like I was going to drop and fall asleep and then I got head pain NOW IM SCARED TO GO TO SLEEP FEARING THAT IM NOT GOING TO NOT WAKE UP

    Hi

     when you said it started by saying you were seeing your surroundings differently, what did that feel like?   I had something similar and just wanted to see if it was the same thing. Thanks

    I have the same thing.  Almost like your not there  also a bit “floaty” ?? Get constant one sided headaches and now have developed tingling in face and arm and even in my foot.  Very subtle but there.  All on opposite side to headache. Convinced myself I have a brain issue. It’s just awful

      I could have wrote that. Last night i was getting head pains(not a headache) and then my left shoulder and arm started to ache. Then felt numb. I get head pains either left or right of forehead. Lips and tongue tingle sometimes. I feel out of it. I dont even go to the dr anymore because I've been told like 20x im fine. Still scares me and i still dont believe the drs and think something is wrong.

    You feel detatched from your surroundings because of a tired mind, constantly checking in on your self on how you are feeling. Try focusing outwards and meditation will help, try to be in the present moment....and stop worrying!!!! I know, easier said then done! Take care x

    Yeah i've had this feeling of detachment, infact had it the other night, woke with the pins/needles (arm, hand, right side of head front and back) and feeling kinda like my brain was cloudy, a bit dream like and like it felt too heavy for my skull. Like i was trying to speak but it didn't feel like me? 🤔 very very strange feeling. I had to do some square breathing excercises and rational thinking, which helped clear some of the fog and calm me. But i still had the facial pins/needles well into the next day. Thankfully these symptoms have subsided now and my brain is back to feeling it belongs there.
