Anyone feel weird ALL THE TIME?
Hello everyone,
Just want to know whether anyone else here feels strange 100% of the time? I know that when you have panic attacks you can get numbness and tingling and headache......... but i seem to have it most of the time, pretty much all day. I just feel like im in a dream all the time, im scared all the time, does anyone else get this?
I took myself into ER earlier today in the hope that someone could help but they didnt even examin me, they just said to go home and calm down, why cant they just reassure me? Am i really going crazy?
Thnks again.

and 24/7 I am in fear of falling over and having a seizure for no reason. being a hypochondriac is crazy!
yeah,i feel the same way too.I've always been a nervous person.But about 2 years ago i experienced my first panic attack.I made a appointment with a doctor he ran all kinds of bloodwork.Everything came back just fine.Soo he decides to put me on Celexa and Xanax,as soon as i took the Celexa i thought i was going to die,so that ended me up in the ER,once again they ran all the bloodwork and it was fine.Also had EKG(fine).The doctor came in and told me i need a behavioral doctor,and a check up with normal doctor.I was mad they didn't give me MRI,and just assumed again it was ANXIETY.
Since then i have tried new doctor and it's the same thing ANXIETY and told to go to counseling.Only prob is I have a hard time excepting that this is all ANXIETY.

I have anxiety pretty much all the time. I am afraid of taking prescription drugs because of the side effects. Does anyone know of any herbal or natural products that can help?
yes me too i feel weard all the time hard to describe iv been to doctors, walk in centres, a&e (ER) they keep saying its panic attacks they referd me to a stress relief clinic but i didnt go cos i faught i will be ok now 9 months down the line im allot worse off. when i have a drink of ale the day after the hangover sometimes makes them 100 times worse and it lasts all week so im trying to avoid alcohol but i like a drink.

Hello. I'm a 22 year old female and this all sounds way too familiar.
I'm posting to help sufferers of anxiety. And to also tell you that there is hope and you will recover! You just need to take the right steps.
Let me tell you about my experience. I'll try to keep it as short as possible.
I started with my first "panic attack" about 9 months ago. At the time, I didnt think it was an anxiety attack, but thought i was dying of a heart attack. I became lightheaded, dizzy, weak and couldnt even stand up. My heart was beating out of my chest and I called 911 bc I was alone and truly thought I was going to die right then and there.
Going to the hospital, they did not say it was anxiety to begin with. They thought I was dehydrated, but nothing more severe than that.
After this episode, I had two more following that brought me to the ER both times. Finally, after my frequent visits with the same symptoms and normal bloodwork, brain mri's, ekgs, etc. they decided I was having panic attacks and prescibed me Ativan. Taking the ativan definitely calmed me down for the time being, but soon enough, the panic feelings would return out of nowhere. After the third attack I began experiencing anxiety and it's symptoms CONSTANTLY. And I believe i probably had most of the symptoms you can possibly have! Ex. heart rate at around 120 resting, head dizziness, feeling like i was in a dream, disoriented, insomnia, felt like i had a serious disease and that I was going to die, crying all of the time, loss of appetite(no appetite at all actually and i dropped 20 lbs.) trembling, scared of everything, worried about unreasonable things, lightheadedness, blurred vision, sensitive to lighting, etc.... etc.... it was the WORST experience of my life.
Zoloft was prescribed to me by a Dr. at Mayo Clinic. i was prescribed 100 mg along with occasional(when needed) .5 dosages of Klonopin. After 4 weeks of Zoloft my symptoms were almost completely gone.
I know that some people are scared of anti-depressants, but i will tell you that life would not be the same if i had never done it. I did not want to be on it, but the fact is that there is a chemical imbalance that makes you feel these things. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT 'ANXIETY' CAN BE THE CAUSE OF THESE HORRIBLE AND DEBILITATING SYMPTOMS. But I am here to tell you that anxiety is all it is. Along with my zoloft, working out (cardio exercise) and drinking my new found Xango juice, I have become 99% anxiety free. i still experience the head tingling once in a while, but nothing compared to anything I was experiencing 9 months ago. Life is good again.
If there are any questions, please feel free to post to me! I would love to help!!!
