I do not know whats wrong wirh m

by hvmarshall93, 36 minutesMy name is Victoria and for the last 11 months, my body has been through hell and back. It all started last year (12/2/12 to be exact) I was sleeping normally that night and felt a couple of flutters in my chest, I didnt think any of the matter (except that it was weird) I was slowly drifting off to sleep when all of sudden my heart starting racing and pounding extremely fast. My hands were shaking, I felt weak in the knees, I couldn't hardly walk or concentrate. It was awful. But you want to know whats crazy? It only lasted for like 45-60 seconds. That was about the scariest minute I ever felt in my life. I remember being so afraid to go to sleep that night because I did not know what was going to happen. I remember being so afraid to sleep that night and when I tried too it was the first. I was jerk, jolt, my hearts would shake on it. Unforuntely, this stuff continues. My symptoms inclide shorness breath, the rapid heartbeat that wakes me up, involunary body movements (head, feet, legs) phobias and such more. I aslo have fear of failure and dying. My question: Its that anxiety? I have always been depressed. I have struggling to lose weight since I was 10 and never accomplished. I am 20 now and its terrrible i havent done it. I stress over little things and everything. Thats the only thing that keeps me going. Im so nervous and "what if" everything. I have an impacted wisdom and im afraid of the surgery because i am afriad i wont wake up from the surgery. Thars just an example. I dont know where it came from or why it happened. So dear stranger: Do you think my issues could be anxiety? OR am I just crazy P.S: ive been to the doctor ans got tested for everything under the sun. And everyhting came back normal

We're not Drs but we are anxiety sufferers and what you explained sounds like anxiety. The first time this happened it sounds like you had a panic attack.
Constant stress can bring on depression. anxiety and panic attacks.
No, I do not think you're crazy. It's the same thing I thought when I start having panic attacks and anxiety.
I'm glad to hear you've already been to your Dr and had testing done. It really does sound like anxiety to me. Have you ever been in counseling? If not, I highly recommend it. You may want to think about medication while you're in therapy. It will help calm you down so you can concentrate on learning why you're having depression and anxiety and also to learn coping skills.
