Hard to go out, weird head pressure feelings

[Mike7777]

I can barely function going out. Get dizzy feeling, confused really bad, really disconnected and like my head is being squeezed and feels heavy. I have panic often. I space out constantly. Ive had tests done. But i know theres no tests fot chemical imbalance. Ive had eeg and mri and ct. Any others suggested? I dont know if this is anxiety because every anxiety drug has not worked at all for me. I havent tried any anti psychotics but this is ruining my life.

I’m so sorry you are going through that. Sounds very tough. I pray you will get answers soon. What is said if it so far if you’ve explained the symptoms to any doctor?

[Starrlight]

How are you today Mike7777?

[Mike7777 in reply to Starrlight]

About the same. Just trying to hang in there. How about you

[Starrlight in reply to Mike7777]

You are strong. I’m trying to be strong and compassionate towards myself but I keep feeling unworthy of good; lost. But we can make it. I think we are so much stronger than we tend to feel. I’ll try to focus on strengths and let myself feel the crap not struggle with it. But I’m so tired of feeling bad. Ok so I feel off and I keep worrying well it won’t last forever and I am okay even if I feel the crap. Best to you.

Let me know if there’s anything that is helping you? For me all I can manage is I decided to spend time by myself and doing deep breathing, watching a movie.

Why feel unworthy? Im not depressed at all, but these physical symptoms and anxiety are hard to deal with. Make it hard to do certain things. I still am not fully convinced its only anxiety as some of my symptoms occur as i wakeup at night or just really random.

[Starrlight in reply to Mike7777]

I do hope you figure out what the symptoms are from.

I don’t know why I feel unworthy. I hope to figure that out. I always seem to come up with things like I’m not good enough. But maybe it’s illogical because I’m doing my best I think.

Hey your alive and life is a beautiful thing. Keep your head up. And keep staying strong.

[Starrlight in reply to Mike7777]

Yeah 😊 life is, isn’t it beautiful? We are perfect the way we are. Head up yes, and I’ll stay strong, thanks. 🙏

Just read your post and I could have written it about myself, I have all these nasty symptoms and like you have had many tests and they say it's all anxiety but I am not convinced. Like you have tried so many antidepressants but have stopped taking them because of side effects being so bad. I am afraid to go out because I'm scared of not being able to cope or losing control. Just wanted you to know you are not alone with this. Take care!

Thank you!

[Mike7777 in reply to Ragdoll15]

Thanks for commenting ward 146, how do you manage to work and stuff?

[Ragdoll15 in reply to Mike7777]

I don't work. At the moment I am finding it hard to cope with things. My daughter goes shopping with me which is a great help as I suffer with agoraphobia. I just want my life back the way it was but I suppose we all do. My prayers are with you!

[Mike7777 in reply to Ragdoll15]

I came off all my meds except lorazepam and am doing some natural remedies until i see a psychiatrist.

Mike7777 I am still struggling with the same issues as you describe. Had all kinds of test. Have you had a lumbar puncture? I have had three doctors tell me my Neuro may need to do this and my Neuro says no it’ll only make your head pressure worse and he feels it will be normal. But this does not feel right and debilitating almost, and it’s the symptoms that are making me feel all out of sorts anxious and all. I never suffered with any issues of like this prior two two years ago. So it doesn’t make sense to me why now am I getting this...they think is stress causing all this and says it falls under functional neurological disorder with these symptoms since they can’t find a organic cause. Doesn’t make sense.

Mike7777, have you tried breathing exercises? They may help.
