Need help

[Enpi]

Im M, 29, abd have had severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder since high school and have had it manifest in all kinds of ways but this is new. I recently had a bizarre panic attack/mental breakdown of sorts (I couldnt stop obsessing about thoughts and my thinking and what thoughts are and how brains work) and began my old symptom of frantically pacing which was so bad I was suicidal so I voluntarily went into a behavioral health clinic. While there I started getting a squeezing tension headache (?) and now 13 days later it has STILL not gone away! it gets worse when I focus on it (I know I know, bit "just dont think about it" is easier said tgan done when its the thing I use for thinking thats feeling it) and when it gets bad its REALLY bad and its making me give up hope again. My meds were changed while hospitalized but my dr didnt think it was from that, however it did start in there. I honestly did not feel safe or ready to discharge because of this but my insurance could no longer cover my stay so I was essentially kicked out. This is utterly and severely hindering my ability to function. Could it be just anxiety? Ive read others having similar but theirs lasted YEARS. Im sp exhausted and hopeless I dont have that in me. What should I do? (Ive had an MRI and other extensive checkups in the past year and I doubt its that.

Ugh I wrote this long reply and it got deleted.

Anyway, I don't know if you are on right now. If you want I can walk you through some calming techniques to work toward bringing down your anxiety. It's called Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectic Behavior Therapy (CBT and DBT).

I went through something similar but with me it was severe intense feelings of falling from a high altitude with a never ending bottom. It was so bad my body felt cold enough to shake to the point of not being able to stand or even move. I felt this way for almost 3 years straight. I was athletic and somehow all my energy was diverted to full on panic attacks. I got treatment (medications and therapy) to manage my symptoms. Eventually it got better. I still have them but I still need to manage them. I know you can too. I hope I can help or at least this info can give you hope it will get better because it will. Feel free to chat me up any time.

I want to clarify. I accidentally hit the wrong key and deleted my previous long 1st reply. My fault not HU.
