Q: out of it feeling

I spent a long time internalizing my anger and all my stress and anger went to my head, about 2 months ago I woke up and was dizzy/lightheaded all the time, basically these feelings have been this way for the last 2 months

What did I do to myself? Did I give myself some kind of stroke? I read some symptoms of a stroke and it sounds like I did something to myself, I wonder if someothing is dead like dead tissue inside my head because whenever I go for a walk it seems like flies always attack my ear as if they know something is dead inside me

I am seeing a counselor, and I have seen doctors and they basically tell me to see a psychologist or take medication, I have another doctor appointment in a few weeks where I am going to ask for a referral to a Neurologist, if there is something wrong with my head would a Neurologist find out?

I really goofed, the moral of this story is stick up for yourself and dont wait to long to get treatment

Well I think it's definitely worthwhile to go see a neurologist and make sure there is nothing physically wrong, and then if they find nothing, see a psychologist. Really, those types of symptoms could be caused by a mental issue, or a physical one.

Georgia is right. Rule out any physical problem first. If it's not physical, then take the next step and see if something might be wrong psychologically. Don't get discouraged if you do not get a diagnosis because this might be a episode that will go away in time or even a change in medications, etc.
