Hi someone. I so wish I could help you. I may not always answer your posts,

but know that I see each and every one of them and it breaks my heart.

I don't always know what to say and sometimes feel it is better to say nothing

because I don't want to discredit what you are feeling. I understand.

Those around us who tell us to get a grip, put your feet up and relax or the

worse one is "what do you have to be anxious about"

I am here for you. I know you feel alone in this struggle but you're not.

One day this will all be behind you. I don't know what it will take, but I

do know it will happen for you. If ever you need to reach out to me,

I'm here or PM me. We will find the piece of the missing puzzle, I promise xx

Im okay, I have been completely medically cleared. But I feel like I'm in a dream, I'm very dizzy and my vision is strange. I'm in the hospital now. :(

You are in a safe place then. At one time, I too chose the hospital

because I became so lost and afraid. It was the best choice I could

have made for myself at that time. We're here if you need us. xx

Hi you aren't going crazy! There were so many times I felt I should go to the hospital but never did. Everything with me started with my shoulder muscles and neck muscles.... then to my vision. I had every anxiety and panic attack symptom one could possibly think of. It seems like each and every day it would be a new symptom and would last a while and then changed of course I jumped on Google ( self diagnosed ). But the biggest one for me was always being somewhat woozy or dizzy and the vision and it scared me. As I'm learning still it's one day at a time one minute at a time. You are in my thoughts and I'm here for you if you need anyting

Your not going crazy, these are symptoms of anxiety, your adding more worry on top of more worry which is why you feel like you are in a dream (derealization) your brain is taking some time out and gone onto safe mode try and relax and accept all these strange sensations ( easier said then done 🤔) I know derealization feels quite disturbing but it won't harm you. Deep breaths and don't worry about the sensations, just let them be and accept every sensation that comes your way and pretend your not bothered by them, as soon as your brain realises you are not bothered by anxiety symptoms, the brain will soon get off the safe mode and body will desensitise... This is what I've been doing, just accepting all anxiety sensations with out adding the second fear of oh my golly, what's this new sensation! I think I'm going crazy, etc... This why it ends up in a vicious circle...anxiety ➡️ worry ➡️more anxiety ➡️more worry... Hope this helps take care x

Hi there - I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way - I know it too well.

I note you have been cleared ‘medically’ but I would encourage you to have someone who really knows their vitamins and minerals (naturopath or intergerative doctor) to check all your B vitamins, zinc, copper, etc. It’s amazing - and appalling - the difference between acceptable blood levels and levels that actually may make a difference to the symptoms you describe. They did for me. For instance, B12 deficiency can cause psychosis like symptoms.

All the best to you xx
