Im in the hospital

I've been here for hours and they've done tests. I'm terrified for when they send me home because i feel like im losing my mind. Im so sad and scared. I don't know whats happening to me but i can't tell whats real

I'm sorry you are in the hospital but I know you are in good hands.

Can you ask to speak to a counselor while you are there? It may help

in bringing down some of your anxiety regarding going home.

We're here for you xxx

What do I do? Ive never felt so bad.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I think Im becoming psychotic. Or going to have a seizure or something. I just feel so scared and sad. Ive really never felt like this before. Its like I absolutely know this is the end for me or something. But the doctors are taking forever to talk to me and they dont know what to do.

I cant even get up out of the bed to go to the bathroom down the hall because i am so scared.

[Agora1 in reply to Hidden]

Let me know someone, how they address the psychological issue.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. xx

Crazy people don't know they are crazy. You are just experiencing anxiety

[Agora1 in reply to Hidden]

Ask to speak to a psychologist or psychiatrist.

You need help emotionally before they release you because

your physical status is okay. xx

I’m so sorry.... I have been where you are , I just went on Monday and they all just look at me literally like I’m crazy when I tell them my symptoms and how I feel.... I feel like NO ONE understands me orhow I’m feeling. It is just a big vicious cycle. I hope you get some answers you are looking for. I have that same feeling when all is done I get sad and confused and feel more upset then when I first went because I didn’t get answers I was wanting...

Someone, what's happened is that your anxieties have got on top of you. What you might call anxiety overload. But it's only a feeling based on fear: you are in no real danger. This is not a physical illness, you aren't going to lose your mind, you're going to be o.k. I promise you. Most of us here have had this kind of minor breakdown. It's caused by too much fearful thinking but it will pass. It can't harm you or disable you or anything like that.

Get out of bed and go to the bathroom, nothing bad will happen to you. You should calm yourself through the reassurance that this is just your nervous system playing up like an overloaded electrical circuit temporarily going on the blink. Try not to respond to that flash of first fear with second fear, there is no need for it.

All will be well. You are safe. All troubles pass and so will yours.

You are so right jeff1943 we get overwhelmed by the anxiety and feel dreadful as though something terrible is happening to us,and end up in A&E having ECG temperature bloods taken etc.left for hours only to be told everything has come back fine . they they say it's anxiety.it then takes a few days to all calm back down again,I agree it's anxiety overload.

They will send you home guaranteed, it Happens All the time. People go because like how you feel, others feel the same way. They go to the wrong kind of Doctor. They'll keep you there because they're concerned that you may try to commit Suicide?

They sent me home. I have never felt anxiety like this in my life. Its like the absolute certainty of death and doom. And it's very physical too so I can't ignore it. Its coming in waves. I see my therapist tomorrow and a psychiatrist next week. I feel like I am about to really lose my mind

[Jeff1943 in reply to Hidden]

Let the waves come, someone, accept them without the need for fear, they cannot harm you though they are unsettling as we have all experienced. No death or doom await you, this is your anxiety magnifying ordinary fear into something ten times greater. It will all pass. You can release natural tranquilising hormones in this way: breathe in slowly, hold the breath for 4 seconds, release slowly through pursed lips, repeat and repeat. This will have a calming effect.

When I joined this forum I thought I was the only one in the world suffering horrible symptoms and unexplainable feelings, how wrong I was! What your suffering is anxiety and it’s horrible. I’m sure you’ll read through posts on here and there is hope for getting well. Take care.

every nervous fear is a unrealistic fear and nervous fear is the fear of discomfort

Have they checked your B12 serum and folate levels? B12 deficiency can often make people feel like that and they often end up in the emergency room thinking they are going crazy. If they haven’t, get to your doctor and ask/demand they do it. Just Google symptoms and it might shed some light for you.
