help.

[RoniMDelaney]

hi everybody. My name is roni. And this is my desperate attempt to get help. As I was informed there are no professionals but I am dying for an opinion/help. I have these “episodes” where I’m so dizzy and disoriented and I’m sweating and on the verge of throwing up. I feel so disoriented and it lasts probably all day. There’s times where I feel more “scared” but I kind of come back from that but I still feel very anxious so it’s like I anticipate when I’m going to have an episode. I’m having difficulty with understanding what kind of anxiety this may be? What gets me to where I can’t physically pull myself off of the bathroom floor? I can’t even speak when this happens!! Idk what to do where to think. I just need help!!! #noinsurance #noprimary. Thank you.

Hi Roni,

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I suppose these episodes could be how you experience panic attacks. Is there any source of anxiety that you can pin down? If it is a mental issue I am really liking the book "Feeling Good" by David Burns. It is the best self help source I have found that would not include therapy and doctors. (You can also get "Feeling Great" which is an updated version).

I have a lot of anxiety around work and school, which goes back to money, which goes back to childhood, which has feelings of being worthless... Anyway if it is mental you'd have to pinpoint the anxiety. I would also encourage you to try to find local resources or clinics that let you use a sliding pay scale or something. There is help out there if you can just find it.

I wish you all the best, strength and perseverance

First, you need to see a medical doctor to make sure there is no physical cause for what you are experiencing. If you get a clear bill of health then see a psychiatrist and consider therapy and antidepressants.
