ugh, weird things continue. Keep feeling breathless randomly. My arms feel like they’re weak like inside them. And one of the weirdest things is it feels like my brain keeps jumping around like my thoughts like I’ll be looking at something and thinking about one thing and then BAM it’s like my brain blacks for a millisecond and I’m thinking about something else. I went to make something to eat last night cuz I know I need to continue to eat even if it’s little meals and I was talking to my mom and all of the sudden I got this horrible feeling that came over me that I never felt before like a different version of doom arms felt weak my whole body went cold my mind started jumping around and everything just kept surging my heart wasn’t racing at all or anything it was so odd grabbed my food and went to my room and took a hydroxyzine didn’t seem to do much almost called 911 but some of the things started calming down I just feel so crappy like I’m sick with something and my body just feels like crap. I’m so tired

At one point in my life I had like a hundred symptoms and no one understood. They were really hard to explain too. You do a good job of describing what you go through. Well I was in so.much.pain. and without relief it seemed for years. You remind me of myself and I just have to tell you it doesn’t last at least it did not for me so there is hope. There is always hope and miracles. I know I didn’t ever believe it would end for me it was just for so long and hitting me so hard but it did stop for the most part and I am still healing. I’m so sorry for all you are going through. I’m here for you always. ❤️

I’ll be doing okay and then bam everything comes back or weird shit that I can’t even explain it’s frustrating and scary

Adam, yeah that’s so frustrating! I wonder what is a trigger for your episodes? Do you notice any patterns? Like after you do certain things, like I recall it was happening after you ate… I wonder if you could be glutton intolerant or something.

so it slightly has decreased after eating so it may of been from not eating enough which makes sense. Honestly a lot of the people in my life stress me because they just keep coming at me and think I can just snap out of this and suck it up but when they keep saying the same thing to me and yelling at me they don’t get it just shoves me down more

yup it’s hard I’ve dealt with people who didn’t understand what they can’t see nor haven’t experienced and it’s on them though so try to step back and know you’re doing what you can and be true to you and keep standing strong for what you need

may I suggest something in those moments; take a deep breath and say excuse me brb and walk off. Go for a walk outside even for five minutes and take slow deep breaths and don’t listen to the nonsense. It’s ok if others can’t understand, maybe can’t relate or snap cause they’re frustrated. Sometimes it’s cause they love u and don’t know how to help. But u don’t need their snappiness when ur mid struggle. Be kind to yourself. We understand you. Prayers up!

I agree with what Starrlight said. I honestly believe that anxiety will keep hitting you with different symptoms and thoughts just to keep you on your toes so to speak. I will also restate what she said. In the moment it feels like it will never pass, but it eventually does. Someone on here recommended that I read the Dare book (which has been great by the way)…anywhere there is an app too. I listened to a segment on there that suggested telling yourself “I love myself” any time you have “idle” time. I started doing that. I also say it when I am feeling myself getting on edge. As a matter of fact today I said it all the way home. We went to a nature trail to walk at my suggestion and what do you know, I was getting worked up. Anyway back to my point…saying I love myself while I am feeling those sensations has really helped. I know it sounds silly and like a why bother, but man something about it is helping. Also you have been there for me on a couple of my posts and have been such a comfort…I appreciate you!! ❤️❤️

I want to start saying I’m worthy and I love myself , too. I’m starting today.

I truly have noticed a difference since I started. At first it was hard and honestly kind of cringy. I now believe myself and notice a sense of peace that comes with saying it. I love this for you! I hope you notice a difference too! ❤️

awesome! Thank you Krn!

I get the mind going all over the place and I also get a weird feeling that my brain is trying to remember something but something is preventing it(maybe something bad that I don’t remember or don’t want to?) it drives me crazy. I get so many weird issues that sometimes I just stay in bed (that’s my safe place).

Sometimes I think our brain is protecting our mind when we are stressed out.

Sorry to hear you're going through this. I was having weird sensations recently and I heard vitamin B12 helps, so I starting taking one tablet in the morning and one at night and it seemed to help. Magnesium also seems to help everything relax. It's worth a try!

I have to take Xanax to sleep even if just a tiny bit, gonna try without tonight because I don’t want to become sleep dependent on the stuff. My night time symptoms can be terrible. Sometimes I just sit all day and jitter, doesn’t help. Xanax seems to be the only thing that calms me. Makes it hard to function. This probably doesn’t help you but you are definitely not alone in weird symptoms.

Not what you're looking for?
