Advice on what to do

[CopingwithEx]

Hi everyone.

I’ve suffered with anxiety and particularly health anxiety since I was around 11 years old. After a traumatic experience I started taking panic attacks that would rush me to A&E as they were so severe. I’m 22 years old now. I’ve only ever been on medication for anxiety when I was around 16 and my panic attacks were so crippling in a constant state of anxiety and fear. My entire body would tremble and shake as if I had a mobility disease. Around September/October last year I had a horrible miscarriage and didn’t know I was pregnant. I had just recently found out my partner at the time had been cheating on me so I went through this alone. Since then I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome as a result of the trauma. My anxiety is crippling and I have never felt to low and lost in my life. I had blood tests in April and everything came back normal however I can’t shake the idea that it’s not just anxiety and depression. I feel my personality has completely changed, My moods are all over the place, I randomly burst into tears, lack of interest in everything, suffer crippling headaches, loss of balance, dizziness and vision issues. I know these can be symptoms but I’m starting to think I have brain damage or brain disease of some sort because I can’t understand how I’m feeling this way. I think if there was something really wrong a blood test would pick up on something but I’m just worried 🙁
