Anxiety Symptoms

[Bambi1979]

Does anybody think that anxiety could present itself with same symptoms as Meniere's Disease?  Doctor diagnosed me with Meniere's, but after I had normal ENG, he now knows it's not Menieres.

Anxiety symptoms, as my doctor said can be in many many forms that will bereally hard to list down. For eyes yes I have eye problems. In bright white light my eyes are getting really tired, I feel sleepy, I want to go somewhere dark and my vision is foggy but those are of course an outcome of the problem that is urging your mental system. Don't worry you will not use your eyes lol. Try to make some peacefull places for yourself in your house and use warm lighting or maybe dark. Try to feel relaxed and turn to yourself and think about how you feel when you are a child and how you feel now. Try to understand what has changed. DonT worry thinking the good days that you werenT an anxietic.It is really important to understand what the problem is and then you will achieve an acceptance level and then comes the cure itself.

Coming to the medication, depression meds will not be your main issue(That is my thought) They will inflame anxiety. The first drug that I used was Xanax. It is built for reducing anxiety to zero. When I took it all the symptoms were gone no weird feeling,no dizzines,no tiring. But as you may guess that med is higly addictive so I never took it again. Its use for me was that the understanding of my illness.

Hey!!  That's all I need for these symptoms to get worse (when I start taking the meds)!!!!  It's driving me crazy as it is.  So do you feel your symptoms 24/7?  Does yours affect your eyes alot, kinda like the nerves behind your eyes are haywire?  That is the most bothersome thing to me is my eyes.  Anxiety and depression only make sense to me now ONLY because I've had every test possible done and every thing comes back normal.  Did you try anti-depressants also?  And meds for anxiety?  My main concern is my eyes bothering me ALL the time.  I know anxiety affects your central nervous system.  Maybe mine went untreated for so long (9yrs) that it now affects my eyes.  What do you think and do you have the same thing going on with your eyes.  It makes me worry that I'm going blind, even tho I can still see.

BAmbi I forgot to tell you that the meds at the first few days will make anxiety worse. Keep that in mind and help medicines by accepting that your problem is anxiety and try to understand what anxiety is by measuring your feelings. Best regards

Dear Bambi1979 donT worry the symptoms are all the same in every body. Especially that weird feeling was the worst of all. A feeling that is impossible to describe.It feels as if you are watching the world from a step behind your eyes, from your brain window :D. It is still making me nervous.After the diagnose of Anxiety and Depression I made an insight look of me and Anxiety diagnosis made really a good sense. Remember a time of yours for example. Especially a time that you were in fear and anxious but in an intense situation.You will realise that it is the same feeling, the only difference is that we are living it all day.This is a vicious circle. Before realising this that weird feeling was making me anxious and anxiety was forcing this feeling. Now you are about to break the circle. Sorry for my English. Best regards. I will be here to debate about this and help you identify the best weapons against that illness.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.  I'm starting to come around and believe that it is anxiety and depression.  I just lost my mother to cancer so suddenly that I was just sure the drs. were missing something with me too.  By the time they found her cancer, they gave her 3 wks. to live.  But I have my faith in God and not in drs. so I do believe we all can make it through these difficult times!!!

Good luck I hope you feel better soon, I understand what you are going threw and I also had a hard time excepting that what i was going threw was anxiety, I still sometimes have a hard time believing it. I think we will make it threw these hard times.
