Anxiety symptoms getting worse

Hi everyone. When I was first diagnosed with anxiety a few years ago, my panic disorder symptoms were really bad. I would have a constant fast heart rate, and as soon as I woke up in the mornings my heart rate would be so fast and I would feel light headed and dizzy, scared to get up out of bed in case I collapsed. A few years later and I am now getting these same symptoms out of the blue. I feel like the world around me isn't real, I can't differentiate between reality and dreams, or reality and my p-tsd symptoms. I feel this lack of control and that I am going to do something extreme or stupid or harm myself. I feel that there is something or someone else controlling me at times. It's so scary and I avoid social situations because I am scared of losing control and doing something bad. Does anyone else feel this way with their mental health problems? It's like my eyes can no longer see reality, a constant dizziness and unsureness of the world around me. Every day. It messes with my memory especially short term memory. It feels like time is going past far too quickly and I've done nothing in that time and feel so unhappy.

Hi Kelly

In the past I suffered with anxiety, depression, insomnia, severe stress that would leave me feeling similar to what you have described.

That was before I came across a new understanding in psychology that explains what is behind all these types of mental health issues.

Current medical professionals try to deal with the symptoms from an 'outside in'perspective, which may help in the short term, whereas this new understanding helps self healing from the 'inside out', and helps people faster and leaves those who get the understanding with the resilience to overcome any type of traumatic experience
