Someone out there , help me

[Joeycash7]

Guys am at the verge of punching a hole on my phone screen because of how I feel lately. Please anyone out there just take your time few minutes to listen to me , because I need to know if I was the only one going through this

First on the 24th April. I had hallucinations for the first time in my life and a heavy pounding heart beat. Ever since then my life has not been the same

4 days late I had anxiety when someone said something that scared me and I started having strange fear and difficulty breathing.

I have always been a tough guy so if you ask me I don’t know we’re this came from

Now I think the anxiety is not as before I feel I can control it. But my experience now seem to be a different one.

Initially i felt lightheaded and now I’m having a heavy head , and also my neck feel burdened. Can’t even think straight as to why all this is happening please someone help am scared.

Am I Dying ?

Am I loosing my mind?

Will I survive this?

Do you think there’s a chance I can be my old self and well again .

Ps : I love drinking alcohol and 1/2 of my parent has same anxiety and sleep disorder issues but she’s older and been affecting her since 4 years .Do you think it’s hereditary, or I have to get to a certain age to start experiencing it .

The set back is that I’m in a developing country in NIGERIA our medical system is not so functional and it really “WOULD HELP IF SOMEONE WITH THIS SAME EXPERIENCE CAN SHARE WITH ME , WHAT TO DO”.

Hi. I’m Andy. Firstly try not to punch your phone. You may need at some point. Like now. Or in contacting help.

I would always suggest contacting your g.p. No matter where you are from, I still suggest seeing a health care professional. I don’t think that you should be going through this alone, without medical help.

I can’t help in any other way apart from saying that I didn’t want you to feel alone. Nobody should feel frightened and alone in this world.

Please try and find some help and take good care of yourself.

Andy.

I’m sure

Hey,

I had similar symptoms after a season of life I overworked myself. I was studying for a state test for a year, trying out a new diet, which both of these took time and effort. The worst thing about it, is probably not that I was busy, but I kept pushing myself during this time, didn’t take proper breaks, time to relax during the day. I think I might have been running on adrenaline, and wasn’t paying attention to my brain that I needed to slow down.

One day I felt like I was going crazy, started feeling really tired, heart pounding and feeling like it is skipping a beat. Started to sleep bad. Started to have severe anxiety

I’m feeling better after some years, but still working on improving my health. What I found helps me especially before I go to sleep is drinking strong chamomile and lavender tea, or just lavender tea by itself. Also, I try to get 9 hours of sleep each night, and more on the weekends, and pay attention if I’m taking on too much through out the day or week. I don’t drink coffee as it can pick you up make you feel great, but than drop you and make you feel anxious. Also, overexercising doesn’t seem like it does good for me.

This is my experience, not sure how much lines up with yours, but sharing just in case this is helpful

I'm sorry you have to go thru this. Life is hard enough. I don't understand why our minds are soft sometimes. Most times I'm Texas tough but now I'm lost and alone and full of fear all the time. I don't have answers but i have a kind heart and i love you. Please find your strength 💪 be calm and in control of your mind. I wish you peace love laughter security

I have experienced all these symptoms. I believe you have anxiety and depression. Please try to get some help with antidepressants. Your physical symptoms will be highlighted by your anxiety. Anxiety will make everything seem so very much worse. I have had these symptoms on and off all my life but manage them so much better now I understand what is happening and have also had counselling. Whether it is inherited or not is tricky. Probably a mixture of that and environmental influences. Hope you get some relief soon.
