Strange thoughts and dizzy feeling

I sometimes think I'm really crazy and not just anxious.  I hope that's not the case, but sometimes really strange thoughts come into my head.  It always happens at times when I know my anxiety is high.  For example...I've been feeling very dizzy for the past couple of months.  I've been to the doctor for this and they ran some blood tests which came back fine.  I haven't been back to the doctor, still dizzy, but just keep telling myself it's anxiety.  Anyway, my husband left me alone with the baby for about 2 hours and when he came back he was in a weird mood. Kind of sad looking and out of it.  In my head I kept thinking, "Oh no! He must have stopped and talked to his sister while he was out. (she's a nurse.) He must have told her I was dizzy and she must have told him that it sounds like I have a brain tumor.  He knows I'm dying and that's why he looks sad."  That is an insane thought don't you think????  How the hell did I even come up with that one?   I also keep thinking that every time I get in the shower that it's going to crash through the floor and I'm gonna be crushed, naked and dead laying in the basement below. (I get dizzy in the shower and it feels like that if I jump that the floor will cave in.)  The dizzy feeling feels like I'm walking on a boat or like the floor is moving.  Is this from anxiety?  Are my weird paranoid thoughts also part of my anxiety?  Or am I totally losing it?

Could be epilepsy. It's like a mini seizure and many people are miss diagnosed with anxiety/ptsd when it's epilepsy. How do I know? Because I spent years thinking it was ptsd and I started having worse dizzy spells. Gabapentin helped mine.

Have you had your bloodsugar ever taken, or tested if you are anemic? If both of those came back negative then it is probley anxiety, like you thinking something is always going to happen, life threating things is Normal anxiety. I would always think I was going fall and hit my head on the sharp corner of the kitchen counter and bleed to death...lol also thinking something would come up though the drains while I was taking a shower...lol until I started on a anti-depressant it did not go away...Good Luck
