Can people please explain the symptoms on a daily basis of health anxiety as I'm sick of feeling stoned like I'm in a different world people don't seem real to me. A wake up a feel like a zombie nothing intredts me I'd lay in bed all day as tbh I have zero energy. My eyes feel so different a don't no how anyone who feels like this actually does things

it sounds like traits of dissociation but obviously not clued up to say mind you.

[BlueSky125]

Doesn’t seem to be health anxiety.

Signs and symptoms of dissociative disorders may include:

Memory loss (amnesia) of certain time periods, events, people and personal information.

A sense of being detached from yourself and your emotions.

A perception of the people and things around you as distorted and unreal.

A blurred sense of identity.

Significant stress or problems in your relationships, work or other important areas of your life.

Inability to cope well with emotional or professional stress.

Mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

Yes when I was deep in anxiety I had dissociation, did not really see and recognize my home and my belongings. I also had severe clinical depression which is awful. Have you talked to a Dr. or even a psychiatrist. Sound like some med's would be of help, I take Cymbalta 50 mg a day cleared up the depression and anxiety, I was also on Lorazepam for several months, that was wonderful for the anxiety. I do not need it now, at bed time I take Trazadone it helps with depression and sleep. I am fully functioning now, have been for several months. YES...... Please go and get help, talk to us here, we offer support and love.....Sending you peace, love n hugs...

It's definitely health anxiety because it's all I worry about all I do is Google symptoms no I'm scared to take any type of medication I have numerous symptoms it's awful. Yes I do feel depressed because of the way I feel it gets to me everyday is the same a never feel normal a can't even complete a task I always stop and rest someday are worse than others. Been of balance dizzy weak etc. Feeling sick looking at the same stuff it's just a same routine my sleep pattern is crap. I've been through insomnia a few months ago through thinking I was diabetic I even bought a glucose test I was pricking my fingers 100 times a day and it kept giving me false readings so I ended up in hospital die to it as all I done was panic I was a mess. A couldn't get up without feeling I was guna collapse my heart never stopped that's all settled now x

[Hidden in reply to Sodown]

I'm glad that is settled now. Hope it stays that way. Maybe its some kind of medication you are also on. I was on a medication and I was driving along hitting the construction barrels and feeling happy about it and really not caring that I did. It was like I was watching it on tv. I called my then provider and we got switched to another medication. Been fine since. It was scary to remember that incident as I could've hit somebody in the process. In hope things get resolved for you.

[Sodown in reply to Hidden]

It's constantly somedays are worse than others a think it's the way I've had to learn to control and not let it take over me and not panic as much. I'm not in medication never have been x

[Hidden in reply to Sodown]

It's good to hear you're not on medication. It could probably be worse if you were on medication. Sometimes you get these weird reactions as my case was. I'm glad I didn't hurt anyone. Doing self control shows how strong of a person you are. I am not saying medication is bad, it works better for some. Kudos to you.

[Sodown in reply to Hidden]

It's a fear I have that's why a won't take medication. As tbh I read side effects and that's it I've got everything

[Hidden in reply to Sodown]

Ok. Makes sense. Sorry to hear that.

[matgrg in reply to Sprinkle1]

Thanks for your encouragement. God bless you.

well, with me, i google everything including what i eat. lol for example, beets, grape fruit, and swiss chard all are oxidative foods, which it is not good for you. then, coffee and chocolate are too, lolololol. yet, i bought to eat all on same day.

then, i lay in bed, question everything i feel and think.

i google everything and question everything.

i go to the drs and get tests often, and worry about that too.

i cant sleep because i always think im dying or gonna die or thinking about the past or future.

i always think about the way ill dye and am dying already

everything i feel i question and predict its death or something horrible about or can or will happen

i talk about my body alot. lol like how its a need to work out for health etc.

its best to talk to a dr about your condition.

i have been too many drs. because of my anxiety which includes health. lololol

and all drs have a new diagnoisis.
