Hypersensitivity/ Hyper vigilance. “Why do I feel like this?

I decided to make a post and hopefully it answers the the question many ask “why do I feel like this all the time?”. now this is coming from a view of Panic Disorder, hightened anxiety related to panic attacks, I can’t really speak on others although you may relate. Hypersensitivity is pretty much your body is on high alert daily looking for the next panic attack to happen, the next new symptom/sensation to arise to add to your list. It’s something I dealt with in the beginning on my journey and had no idea, all I knew was normal everyday things were becoming harder to do and my list of problems was growing! Because you are in this state of hyper awareness, you start noticing things about your body that you NEVER gave a second thought to such as, why does my head feel like this? (Could be weather change/ sinus etc). Twitching or odd sensations in arms and legs, noticing how much warmer you feel. And etc. trust me I’ve been there and I look back on all the things I wold obsess over, just to think years before before dealing with panic disorder I wouldn’t have given a crap, BECAUSE I wasn’t on hyper alert to what my body felt every minute of the day questioning OMG is this panic? Or OMG why am I feeling head pressure. This year I’ve been dealing hypersensitivity the hardest because I had a set back, but I’m so much better than I was, and I’m actively working through exposure etc. I would encourage you though to look up for yourself and learn about hypersensitivity because you may be surprised that that’s what you’ve been dealing with and didn’t know

Hello, Sorry for the struggle you are going thru, if it were me I would go and talk to a Psychiatrist. It took one to sort me out. Look after yourself, you deserve it.
