These are the symptoms I feel:
-Hot or cold flashes (at one point I was so on fire whatever I touched was left burning too, almost like I had a fever)
-Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, very upset stomach
-Shortness of breath (sometimes feels like I am breathing through a straw)
-Feeling like I am going crazy (this is by far the worst symptom)
Feeling like I am going crazy/being out of touch with reality is by far the worst symptom I have ever experienced and continue to experience struggle with. Not sure how many of you out there who struggle with anxiety feel this too. This feeling is almost to the point of disconnection. You look in the mirror and you do not see the same person, you don’t recognize your reflection. Feel out of depth with your environment, like you are watching your life go by. It’s not necessarily you feeling fear, but you feel so disconnected. The feeling of going crazy brought on a panic attack - it goes back and forth, panic attack and feeling crazy, panicking about going crazy, and freaking out because of my panic attack. It is the most dreadful thing that I would never wish upon anyone.
This feeling of going crazy doesn’t happen everyday though. Rest assured with proper care it only happens once in a while or sometimes disappears all together. During these times I surround myself with people who I trust and love. Even though they may not understand or I feel like their presence isn’t working, it eventually does help, and I do feel better.
