Q: Respond Its Very Important

A year ago I had a horrible anxiety attack where I thought I was going to go crazy after that I felt super depressed for 2 months and then snaped out of it, I felt ok after I snaped out of my depression for about 4 months but I had another wierd anxeity attack but I learnt how to control it. Everytime I have those anxiety attcks I feel very very strange in the morning, like edgy or kind of like crazy. For the last couple of months i've been thinking about the bad times ive had and its putting a fear inside me that I might go crazy., im having images in my mind about going crazy. Just a month ago I felt very very edgy like I would hear things and check with ppl, sometimes when im sleeping I will sort of hear my thoughts out loud and that scares me. I also see things at the corner of my eye im not sure if its real or not, its sort of like a light or a flash or somthing. I have put myself in a weird state of mind im constanly overthinking about wierd things like how small we are compare to the universe and just about how weird reality is and how the mind works. My doctor siad its a panic disorder I feel its somthing worse. Someone please reply anyone! Oh and I had to family members pass away in the last 5 years and a couple of good friends if that will matter why im feeling like this

I don't think you are crazy just in need of a good long holiday... The thing with mind problems is - except for anti-depressant, the only thing that would help you is yourself... If it's any consolation, I do talk when I sleep Laughing

and sometimes I tend to say things in my mind before I realize it... Try to do something that can keep your mind occupied for sometime...

Life is not as hard as you think... And things happen for a reason, you might not understand why but eventually you will...

Take care...

I'm pretty sure I know what this is and it's not panic disorder. Please read your private messages.

I Can't Look At My Email

My email is not active right now, my file cookies aren't opening so it wont let me open. Anyways just respond through this im intrested to hear your theory on what I have. I've explained the hearing my thoughs out loud in my sleep to a friend and she siad she sometimes hears her thoughts too. I don't constanly hear thoughts only like 2 times over the year, and my friend will see some things at the corner of her eye as well and she's perfectly normal. After I heard that I felt relieved and it has gone away but I always feel wierd and edgy I think it might be gad I have no family history with schizo or anything major like that. It might be dp/dr. I thought about depression but im able to play my sports and go out. Please respon on this forum thanks

Hey i've recently developed this. My physicist (very good) is 100% it's anxiety and I am perfectly fit and healthy. I know how it feels but you have to remain an actor of the drama in your life instead of an observer of everything that's going on. This means grasp for opportunities to keep your mind off this stuff, you need not think of things like this, look around you... They aren't so why should you? I know life is very complex and hard to understand but keep your mind on other things, things that you enjoy and im hoping that it'll just drift away. It just has to! You're not going crazy, people who do are unaware of their journey towards mental illness. The fact that your concious of the unpleasant way you are feeling and that you can still go out and do things you want to leads me to believe that really, you know it's just anxiety, maybe sub-conciously but I bet like me there are times when it goes off, i.E when i'm with my friends etc. If you are extremely concerned about your condition it's best to go back to your doctor. I hope this reassures you somewhat.

All the best,

james

Thanks Alot For Replying

Thanks for replying its hard to get replys. Anyways yah some days I do feel normal but others I feel like outof touch with reality.. Like things don't seem real. The little things that I see sometimes are probably real im just so edgy that any little thing I will see at the corner of my eye sort of scares me. My anxiety attacks are gone now, its just my mind thats scrambled, ive been doing energy healings and its been really helping. But can anxiety lead me to feel wierd and sort of crazy? And I am starting university in 2 weeks from now and i've been really stressing on how im going to make it through......But maybe it will take things off my mind.....

Thanks for replying and if you have any other things to say that would be awsome!

Oh yeah definatley, infact the unreality feeling is extremely common in anxiety conditions but believe it or not is a completely normal reaction to hightened states of anxiety/stress and is nothing more than an altered state of mind. It's probably a mild form of depersonalization/derealization and does pass in time. Get on with your daily routine, and don't pay it any attention, it will go away - maybe even without you noticing! I'm glad that the energy healings are helping, and i'm sure that once you settle into university you will have a lot more things on your mind, more important than worrying about how you're feeling all day!!

Best of luck,

james

I cannot answer that question simply because I do not know. However, I do know that repetitive thinking or incessant ‘mind chatter’ is a symptom of anxiety. Please remember that it's always best to get a professional opinion of a doctor or a person in the medical field. I'm just telling you what I know; once you have a definate diagnosis from a medical professional and more sinister causes have been ruled out should you feel 99% positive it's anxiety. That said, I hope my posts provide the reassurance you need.

Best wishes,

james

I had a really similar experience. Except everyday I feel out of it now. I posted my story before I read this one but I know how you are feeling. Im stilll struggling to understand how anxiety and stress can cause this. I feel like one day I was fine and then I snapped and now im struggling to keep my sanity. Anyways my doctor also this was just due to anxiety. Hes the doctor so im hoping that he knows what hes talking about. Good luck and just try realize that when you come out of this you are going to be way stronger than you ever were before.
