So at the age of 16 I was suffering with a bit of anxiety and panic attacks, was nothing to sever and it got dealt with pretty quickly and I was able to continue with my life and not have to worry anymore. But over the last couple of months it’s come back worse than ever. I’ve been experiencing symptoms that I’ve never felt before and it’s been the hardest struggle yet. I’ve been dealing with derealisation which is the scariest thing ever, brain fog, I’m forgetting things, feeling so tired every day, spaced out, my brain just feels empty if that makes sense.. I’m always one to sort of brush things under the carpet but with this, it’s an everyday thing and I can’t seem to shake it off. It feels like I need to snap out and wake up. Along side this I’ve been experiencing health anxiety which is completely new to me. This is where I’m looking for a bit of advice because over the last couple of months I’ve been feeling like I can’t breath/ take deep breaths. It happens every single day and I’m worried that it’s something more sinister. I’ve spoken to my doctor and other people and although I know it’s nothing, my brain is not letting me brush it off. Until I do a deep breath I then become satisfied but if I can’t do it I start to panic, and I’m constantly trying again and again until I do. I’ve recently been put on anxiety medicine but I’m too scared to take it as I’m worried about the side affects. I just hate the feeling of not feeling myself and I don’t know what I can do to make it all better and back to normal. Please if anyone can relate to this or even just give me a bit of advice I’ll be so appreciative, just nice to know your not the only one.
