What is wrong with me? (Literally)

[Rdiz777]

Symptoms for the last 7 years:

- head pressure

- can't have any caffeine at all even decaf without feeling crazy/agitated/racing mind

- things don't look right. This is the hardest to explain. The answer is I probably just don't feel the same when I look at things, but for example when I look at the stars I don't feel calm and centered and the sky looks clear. It's like I can't focus. It's very bad when I'm outside at night, feel like I can't focus my eyes at all. And frankly I feel weird any time I walk out of the house and into the neighborhood -like, tense. Another way of saying this is, I used to be a person who felt things very deeply in a good way, now it's just a constant record playing in my head of how do you feel now, how do you feel now,...

- right nasal passage is throbby all the time and feels like there is something in there I have to blow out

-hyper self awareness

-tightness at base of skull

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I should have added that there was some prescribed benzodiazepine use just before this all started and I went cold Turkey which wasn't smart. Thought I was being "tough"

This is all benzo withdrawal. We all have the same symptoms (I’m a member of many benzo withdrawal groups). Worst drug in the world. You stopped them 7 years ago?! I know it can last years if you do cold turkey. How long were you on it for?

3 months

If doctor said everything is fine from his POV then:

To me it seems you are in a constant fight , tightness is because you are tense , the feeling of something is not right is a bit of anxiety .also the thought of getting agitated when drinking coffee.

Head pressure could be tension headache,

I suggest meditating 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night . And a neck massage . Try to relax and don’t think so much . I also think you have too much free time , find an exhausting hobby

I used to have same feeling when i started my anxiety treatment , but it wasnt the meds , it was me , my way of thinking , i thought treatment is changing something in my brain . And that was not true , the treatment is just like” a bottle of beer at the end of the day” its not doing any harm , it just numbs me to get over hard times .

I think meditation and awareness will do good for you , because what you have is just overthinking

Head pressure (check)

Fear. double, (check)

Headaches, maybe because of the head pressure? Idk I feel like I'm in a twilight, hard to explain, but feel only half alive. Your not alone at all! Music? Video games? Singing? Lay down on your bed and breath, CBD?

I sometimes feel out like my body and soul are out of sync, worse feeling ever, you totally loose control and all you can do is close your eyes and let it be, until it goes away.
