Wake up in the morning with a nervous stomach. Can't eat , shaking, obsessive thoughts, worried about my health, trouble sleeping, panic attacks at night if a wake up suddenly. The the racing heart starts and the feeling of needing to flee...yes I have literally jumped out of my bed and ran down my hallway in a panic attack.

i use here as my support group because where i am from these disorders are hushed--ppl are usually ashamed to even say they have suffered with it-it was hard to get my family to admit they even experienced it--i know it is a dark place to revisit--but i even asked my therapist if possible--any willing persons would want to meet up and just help each other out---and she was not having it...but i began to get better when i began to talk on here--see other ppl asking the same questions i had been asking and experiencing the things I was--I sometimes cried when i began to read what others were experiencing because I was like FINALLY some one understands!!!

crazy dreams, waking up feeling wired through the night, constantly questioning my own sanity and noises i hear, feelings of not being real, fear of feeling like im behaving weird or fear of feeling like im someone else, panicking and constantly reminding myself that intrusive thoughts arent controlled and i love my family, racing heart, racing thoughts, the 'what ifs', mixed emotions and moods, feeling dizzy, just never feeling normal..
so many more, the fears vary day to day too.
total mess!

mine are head pressure right now..tightness of chest...I just usually breathe them away--but the pressure is from the withdrawal from the meds--when i begin to focus on these 2 things I begin to feel faint like this is it..then i snap out of it and keep going. light headed and dizzy sometimes--that has stopped for the most part except the pressure ugh!

sometimes i get numbness in my arms...that isn't regularly. Unreal feelings--I hate this (depersonalisation)

Chest tension/pressure.
Heavy head/lightheaded/foggy/dizzy feeling.
Abdominal cramps/pains.
Upper back tension.
Feeling unstable when walking.
Clammy hands.
Feeling of unreality. Head and body feel drugged.
Breathing feels toxic.

My symptoms are daily and vary in severity and occurance. Sometimes it's all, sometimes it's a few.
