HI all have not been here in a while since I was really good with my anxiety it was like completely gone. I never really had it bad until 2 months ago. For a couple of months here and there I was experiencing and out of nowhere rush of cold all over my body with an immediate dry tongue and faint like sensation with a rapid heart beat. It all felt like a heart attack i probably had these episodes for about 6 months like maybe one every other month. So 2 months ago it was the worse like I had never felt it before in those 6 months I was experiencing those faint like/rapid heart episodes, ever since my life hasn't been the same. I've had all sorts of tests and everything comes back negative which is a good thing but now all my symptoms are pointed towards my anxiety by the doctor. It seems like my anxiety is fading little by little I'm actually at a better place now anxiety wise than when my attack happened 2 months ago, but my symptoms rain. Is like this fog on my eyes that doesn't allow me to see properly like blurred vision some days is better and some days is worse though is not back to normal how I used to see before all this madness happened 2 months ago. I'm lightheaded 24/7 along with this blurred on my eyes. Makes me feel like everything around me is unreal I mean I know I'm there I know is real is just how my eyes see things brings this sensation that seems like everything is unreal around me. I would love to hear from others who have experience anything similar. Is been 2 months and don't know what to do at this point now!! I do see progress as to how I feel comparing how I was 3 weeks ago. If only this lightheaded feeling blurred vision symptom went away I would be completely fine.

Than you all so much in advance

Hey..what you describe was just like a mirror image of myself..the unbalanced and lightheaded feeling is the worst feeling..I've been taking meds for the past year and everything seemed a lot better but recently it's come back and I don't know why..I feel the best thing that I found was sharing and letting somebody else no how your feeling,even if it's just putting it out ther on this..I hope and I'm sure you'll feel better soon...there's always someone out there listening..Your not alone 😊

Hello I had been doing a lot of research and was on denial about derealization (anxiety derealization) look it up. I've had it 24/7 for the past 2 months I do though see improvement on how I feel now than how I felt last month, little by little gets better. I am now reading a book called "DARE The new Way to End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks" actually on Audible I rather listen to the book I hate reading lol. It has helped me realize so much and not to be so afraid of my symptoms, as they are just symptoms that once your anxiety level goes down they will disappear. I can tell you that it gets better I am by no means feeling myself yet but I am a lot better than I was 1 month ago You will learn to flow with anxiety and your symptoms and trust me it you will feel better in just 2 days I see how better it's been from last week.

Its called depersonalization...if you Google it you'll understand it... Its part of having anxiety and panic. Its part of the fight or flight ....its awful and I have it everyday..the more attention you give it the worst it gets.... But not to worry its just another symptom of anxiety...

Hi Jansblu, I have read on it derealization/depersonalization and was just on denial my anxiety was over the roof making me thing the worse had happened or that somehow i had brain damage since my last severe attack. The book I've been listening to for the past 2 days has help a lot, to see things in a different way and to accept all these symptoms. I now know once my anxiety level goes down and by body releases all these extra hormones my symptoms will fade away I am keeping positive and just going with it feeling every symptom and just understanding is all part of anxiety and will soon be over

[Allano]

That's good to hear and I must take your advice and have a look at that book..I hope your improvement will subside the anxiety and you conquer it once and for all..I think that's what we all hope...thanks for the reply..I'm goin to try and get back to been positive..the best way..have a good day or night depending on we're in the world you are 😊

Hi Allano, yes please do!! The less attention we pay to our symptoms the better we feel. Of course feeling better doesn't happen right away takes time I have days were I just want to give up but then I remember the improvement and it only tells me all this is temporary. We have that constant worry and is just an never ending cycle, the best way is to ride our feelings/symptoms welcome them don't pay attention and before we know it all we disappear Stay positive blessings and prayers your way!! Have a good day as well I am in California where are you?

Hello Is definitely not easy at all trust me I do have my days where I just cry and ask myself how much longer of feeling like this. then I then gather myself back up, is like crying it out and releasing my frustration feeling helps.
