I feel like I'm going insane, my mind is racing

[Lindsey14]

Past few days I havent felt like myself at all, my thoughts keep racing with all these crazy scenarios and im scared im actually losing it. My chest is full of anxiety. Im scared I'm going to forget myself and go crazy.....

[Starrlight]

I’ve been feeling that way too. I’m sorry you are going through this.

I have a fearful feeling along with racing thoughts and making up scary senarios...and I don’t know if it’s because of taking a new med (Zoloft) or not taking the benzo I was used to taking or both.

Have you had any changes going on in your life recently?

Sending good vibes your way(((((((((((((

[Lindsey14 in reply to Starrlight]

Thank you❤ you think it could be cause I quit my meds?

[Starrlight in reply to Lindsey14]

Yes I think thats a very good possibility. What meds did you go off of? And when?

[Lindsey14 in reply to Starrlight]

I don't remember their names off the top of,my head, also ive had a long going on recently yes

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

Oh snap! Just re-read. Zoloft sounds eerily familar as the med. I'm thinking of...

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

So Zoloft gave you racing thoughts or something else? I had racing thoughts before I started on it but now I have pressure in my head and an afraid feeling. My sister takes Zoloft so I thought with same biology it may work for me too,... going to stick with it I think and maybe will get better soon unless if it gets worse then I’ll call my doctor. I’m afraid to look up symptoms.

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

I could be mistaken since this was so long ago, but quite possibly yes. I've been on soooo many meds. over the years, but I do remember Zoloft sticking out as having to get off of it quite quickly due to a negative effect.

I will join you I feel the same . Sending a big hug

[Hidden]

Hi. Can I jump in here? I've only had racing of thoughts once, and it was medication related. This was awhile ago, so I don't remember the med. Please report this to your doctor.

I’m going through the same thing right now. It’s so difficult. I don’t have any advice, but I’m here if you need to chat.

[Starrlight]

Do you find that there is anything that gives you some relief Lindsey?

[Lindsey14 in reply to Starrlight]

Positive Distractions, but even sometimes that barely works

[Starrlight in reply to Lindsey14]

Yeah I hear you. (((((((Hug)))))) My head feels so off and it’s hard to explain and distractions do help a little but i need it to stop. Best to us! ✨ ❤️ ✨

[Lindsey14 in reply to Starrlight]

Yes agreed, thank you!

[Starrlight]

Woke up at 2:00 am can’t get back to sleep so I thought I’d see how you are doing. I’m feeling better so far.

[Lindsey14 in reply to Starrlight]

I'm pretty much the same

[Starrlight in reply to Lindsey14]

❤️ (((((((((Hug))))))))) ❤️

Are you on antidepressant?

[Lindsey14 in reply to Hidden]

Put on a new one yesterday

My psychiatrist gave me Clonazepam to help me with my anxious/anxiety feelings while waiting on my antidepressants kick in, and they helped me a lot! When suffering from depression it's best to go to a physiatrist for your meds.
