Hi guys Please tell me it's not just me..

Hello people

Hope everybody is doing ok and in good health.

For the past two days I've been hearing things. Yes I've been anxious and depress but that's just me.

I'm so alert to every thing around me. I'm sure you know what I mean, I'm

Always looking overt shoulder and I'm hearing things. Don't know what are they exactly? They're like whispers or weird sounds. I had two panic attacks In one day and it left me edgy. Husband doesn't know what to do with me. He said imagining things and he said we live in an apartment block, I would hear sounds. But I feel everything is do intense, I hear all of it from faucet to creaking of doors. I heard a girl crying the other night but it could have been from another apartment. I am scared and currently panicking thinking I'll be soon locked up and die alone In mental institution. Like I feel I'm in a horror movie waiting for next attack.

Is this hallucination? Or am

I facing something unreal and gonna get worse?

Love

Elle

Hey Elle

First of all, you're not mad

Have you been to the doctors and got your self check out?

If not, go and do it if only for piece of mind

There are lots of things that can help with anxiety such as reading up on it after all knowledge is power. The more we know about the more we can help ourselves .

You could also go for CBT , you need to speak to your doctor about this.

CBT is a great way in combating anxiety. There are some good books on CBT, check out Amazon

Another way is checkout "Mindfulness" there lots of websites on this.

The ones that I do are Headspace and calm.com

I do mindfulness twice a day and then when I need it.

Try and keep a journal, write down how you are feeling each day.

I hope this helps

Take care xx

Hello yumiyumi

I would love to go to a doctor but I live in UAE there are no doctors here that specializes psychological problems. There are no medications in Middle East for such conditions as the government controls this. I'm on my own with this battle

I read google all the time it's very bad way of getting Information. It makes me feel worse.

Do you also hear things, I'm not really sure if I heard anything all I know is that everything is heightened like if I hear any thing weird I try to find the source of it, could be tv, wind, whatever. But I panic and feel very paranoid and it makes me so uncomfortable thinking that I'm hearing what others are probably not. So as anxious person I try to ruminate on this and obsess and listen so intently till I start hearing things.

I'm scared to the core, if ever there's anything out there that's out to get me, I really can't do Anything. When I listen to mysrlf saying all this I freak out coz I sound so crazy. I just wanted to know If I'm unique is it I only me who's doing through this tremendous weirdness of hearing, feeling, fearing unknown

Hi Ellie, ur not mad it's anxiety. Anxiety as alit of symptoms but please don't read google. I done this and it made it worser. Like yummimummi said download headspace. It helps carm the mind, I do it everyday. I go off upstairs with my phone and headphones and lie on the bed and have my ten minutes doing it. I've also been that relaxed with it I've fell to sleep doing it.

Reading up ( not on google ) prober books on anxiety helped me understand it and helped me me understand how to cope with it. Xx

Hi Ellie

When my anxiety has been really bad I have felt all these things to & seems like you are feeling really anxious at the moment

When you are not feeling so anxious I bet you don't notice all these things you are at the moment so I would say if will no doubt be anxiety , but try & ignore it because the more we feed the fears the more they will continue ( easier said than done when we feel so bad I know ) but very true

Hope you are feeling a bit better today

Love

hi ellegirl, anxiety can cause heightened senses. every small noise can be amplified and not a little alarming.

I would think if you really were going mad, you wouldn't be able to write coherent posts.

have you heard of tinnitis (sp?) it can sound, to some, like distorted sounds or whispers. it may be something like that. you might want to consult a doctor to check it out.

[Ellegirl in reply to hamble99b]

Thank you, to be honest I don't really know what I heard, it sounds like whisper or breathing and I panic everytime I hear anything like it. Like if I'm in bedroom and tv is on I would run to living room to check and perhaps the scene is gone and I don't hear it anymore. Been like this for couple of days and it worries me, it puts strain on my marriage. I don't listen to anybody I let panic attack me, and I feel hurt that I'm feeling like this. You are absolutely right everything is heightened, like now my mind is expecting to hear weird noises and now i panic about it. Can you shed more light about this, it might put my mind at ease for a bit. I only want peace of mind..
