Constantly spaced out every day

[Betterdaysarecoming]

Hi everyone i am 19 years old and for 2/3 months now I have not been working due to these sudden panic attacks and a very very weird air headed feeling, I feel like I am kind of drunk every day and i am very spaced out I feel like nobody understands the way I am feeling. I have read through a few comments on this page and I am feeling a slight relief because most of them compare to the way I feel. I genuinely thought this was something to do with my brain I am constantly worrying sweaty hands, heavy breathing because I can not stop thinking why this is happening to me, could anybody tell me if anxiety can make me feel this way?? Would anybody recommend me to get a brain scan or some sort of counselling? Thank you so much x

Hey everyone is different and anxiety can affect us in so many different ways, I would say it does sound like anxiety. Definitely make an appointment with your GP and talk things through, to rule anything out and get support. Hope this helps

Anxiety is definitely different. I would recommend that you speak with your physician or see a licensed counselor. They may be able to provide you with coping strategies and/or help you decide whether medication may be helpful. I hope that helps!

Hi

I think it is well worth trying to get some therapy as well. Even if there is a waiting list try to get yourself on it. CBT in particular is very effective in anxiety as it helps you to learn new ways of thinking that can stop you worrying. Worrying tends to lead to a downward spiral of more worrying.

Very best wishes.

I know how you feel I’ve have every symptom you can think of just ignore it because the more attention we show it the worse it gets . Try meditation & listening to relaxing music and smelling real lanvender to ease your mind . Even taking a hot bath and listening to music can help . I had to leave me job in the past but I can’t let Anxiety control my life! I deal with this daily and I hate it with a passion but I’m a fighter . It won’t go away because it’s no real treatment so we have to be strong and fight it away from our life’s period!
