losing my mind

ok i'v been having several problems and i don know the answer and i really need help. i feel like i'm in a dream day in and day out. i just dont feel normal i feel like im gonna freak out all the time. im having problem with emotions and other things recently my girl friend of 3 months had to move from north carolina to wisconsin and i swear i didnt even really care. i truely feel like i am losing my mind. i have thoughts of hurting others or fear of losing my mind. i dont sleep good at all. i have thoughts running through my head constantly when i close my eyes. i dream the weirdest dreams and i wake up wondering why i dreamt that stuff. right when i open my eyes in the morning i start having that feeling which is pretty undescribeable its really weird i basically feel like i'm in a dream all day and every day is like the next. i just dont feel normal. i'm having memory problems it feels as if just yesterday is hard to remmeber for me. i dont know what my problem is but i've been battleing it for a few months and i seriously dont understand how i havent lost my mind yet. i think its affecting my health as well. my skin feels numb usually and i'm alwayss sick to my stomach. i feel like im gonna panic alot and sometimes out of no where i get super tierd and wierd. i dont know what my problem is but its affecting my daily life and i would really like help. i was diagnosed with depression about a year ago and put on meds but after a while of takin meds i felt normal. then while still taking the meds the weird feeling came back,
if this sounds like anything u know about please help me,

I am 31 year old male… I have been reading your responses to questions some people had.. I have a question for you.but I have question about Anxiety…. Back on November 3rd, 2007, I had a severe anxiety attack. Since then I have not been the same. It all started a couple of weeks prior to November 3rd, all of a sudden I had a stiff neck, out of nowhere, after a week, went to chiropractor and was okay. Then on 11/3 I got a back spasm and then I went into a major panic attack. The back spasm I have never had before so it hurt breathing in, so then I was getting panicky confused etc.. so my mom gave me a xanax 0.25 mg which I have taken before, I had my own but not home. So I took it and it made the attack worse, my mind went blank I could not remember who my dad was I was numb and tingly. Shortness of breath.. I SCREAMED and jumped up in the air..  I felt like I was going to die, I felt out of my body.. we were in the car to ER, adrenalin was flowing and we got into parking lot and it subsided, then I woke up in the middle of the night shaking and trembling. Next day okay, 4 days later I had another panic attack at a restaurant with my family same I had to go out for air  and the same attack as mentioned above happened. But did not take a xanax, since then I have not been the same upstairs. Since then I have had brain fog. I get confused, trouble with short and long term memory.. just not myself and I am really worried after my first attack, I had a complete physical doc said my blood work come back fine and urine too. I had developed a skin infection and was on levaquin for a week a few weeks back.. my question is, can Anxiety cause memory problems?? Also, I have muscle twitches from time to time and they make me feel different..  And I cannot concentrate..  I am really scared it has been since then and I am not the same… any suggestions on why the xanax didn’t work and make me worse?? I also have a white tongue…….i feel like i am in another world after i had the muscle twitch in my legs it changed something upstairs.. scared.. not myself.

Thanks

Jim

Yes, this is a familiar and important mental health syndrome, and it is very treatable, so you must go to a psychiatrist who can treat you with a combination of medications and talk therapy.  You must do this immediately,  you are in a dangerous postion.  Ask your docor for a referral or get your friends or family to help you find one.
