Ok so i have anxiety but lately im getting new symptoms. Can someone please explain to me if this is anxiety? So for the past week ive been having horrible memory problems. Incsnt remember anything LITERALLY. Even 2 seconds after i do something i cant remember. My appointments coming up i cant remember when they are. Also i have a feeling like im not really here and then i come too but then feel like im drifting away again. Its such a strange feeling its so hard to explain. Ive never experienced anything like this and i keep getting pins and needles in my hands and legs when i go to sleep. This is all new lately and its really scaring me. Someone please help me.

This all just started in the past 3 days with the pins and needles. The memory is horrible and kt scares me. But now im experiencing feeling like i don't know where i am or im lost. I feel strange and when people talk to me its like i cant comprehend what they are saying. I feel like im loosing my mind.

pins and needles is anxiety also. panic attack. I have had those many times. When u have memory issues its because your too worried about yourself to put any thought into daily activity. The out of it feeling or spaced out feeling is also because of anxiety. ITs called Depersonalization or derealization. comes with it. Best way to get over it is to accept the feeling and go with it. realize it for what it is and try now to focus on only things that are here and now. u got appointments, organize yourself and realize it takes time to shake the anxiety crap, days actually. I have GAD and have anxiety all the time. U will eventually overcome it.

I have health anxiety and im bipolar ive been verybstressed lately it seems because i keep focusing on whats going on in my head. Its so hard to focus on whats going on around me and its hard to be happy right now. Its such a scary time. Ive never experienced any of this before. Like right now i forgot i was arojnd the corner from my house and at my grandmother's house. I knew we were here but forgot it was around the corner. Yesterday was my moms bday party and as we were signing happy birthday i said my step fathers name instead of hers. For some reason i thought it was his bday even though i knew it was my moms. Its so strange.

ya, thats ok. With your thoughts, u have a lot on your plate. Just go with it. Try to add the brakes and slow it down a bit. Keep on trying to pay attenton and it will come around. Cut yourself some slack. Give yourself some "me" time and go collect your thoughts somewhere alone. THat means to sit idle somewhere for awhile and close your eyes and just not try to think about anything. There is this one site I listened to online that would make me calm down. It may not be for u but it did work some for me. Put on some headphones and chill. youtube.com/watch?v=V2_YCTk...(Not working as expected?)

Hi a would book appointment with gp you may benefit from community and wellbeing team or psychologist. Anxiety can get out of control if it's affecting your daily life

[Lvictoria81 in reply to Hidden]

I missed my psychiatrist appointment and ive been trying to reschedule but no one is calling me back. Im going to keep trying.

[Hidden]

Keep trying or get docters to do it .if there's community and wellbeing teams at surgery you would get on with them .some people not keen on psychiatrist

[Lvictoria81 in reply to Hidden]

[Hidden]

Hey, I had pins and needles in my leg for over a week and my foot felt like it was vibrating came out of nowhere and went to my gp he said I was ok and took my bloods to see if I had any deficiencies and that came back normal as well. Seems as when I got all clear they disappeared do get the odd one every so often but the all clear helped as I freaked myself out that I had a blood clot in my leg or als.

Mine are only at night time not during the day. It didnt scare me or anything but I wanted to know if it was anxiety related. It feels better to know other people experience it. Now if only I can start thinking positive & not feeling like I'm gonna die. Im very forgetful & i look at places like I've never been to them before even my own home its like im noticing different things I've never noticed before its weird to describe. Ive never dealt with it before

I'm almost the same way mid-afternoon until I go to bed late at night in fine I wake up after sleeping about 5 or 6 hours then it starts again it just keeps repeating no mater what I do all I know for sure is that I don't think anything is really wrong with any of us

[Lvictoria81 in reply to Pontiac1979]

I haven't got that mindset yet I guess it's gonna take a while for me to understand that. It's horrible

As others have said pins and needles is very common. I think we all have that one. Ask your Dr if you’re scared but probably nothing to worry about. For the memory problems, are you on any medications? Some anxiety meds can cause mental fatigue and memory loss.

Yes I'm on zoloft i know i gained weight like crazy on it and i know im really tired but I refuse to Google anything
