**I have another post, but couldn't edit and started a new one, so please excuse any repetition.**
I have a history of anxiety. When I was in high school, I suffered from panic attacks and mild depression for about six months. After my anxiety subsided, I developed a breathing issue - a constant difficulty breathing and shortness of breath to the point of being unable to walk upstairs or jog. All tests came back clear and no indication of asthma.
Fast forward twelve years; I began having many more anxiety symptoms after a very, very stressful year (more like stressful 8 years). I began having typical panic attacks, and then spent over a month in bed with extremities that went numb to the point of being unable to walk or use my arms (tested for MS, Lupus, you name it, I'm clear). Now, I am struggling with constant dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling "weird" 24/7, unable to get off my couch and have become practically a hermit. I have trouble breathing, hyperventilate all day, have tics which are so annoying, have horrible mental confusion, and my perception is off. Nothing feels the same or looks the same, not even people. I feel extreme exhaustion and weakness and just feel like I am literally dying. I have been cleared by medical staff and all has been written off as anxiety. Can this be?
