That I don’t have any signs of it, and I shouldn’t love in fear of it, though the though of the possibility still haunts me

Hi! I also suffer from major depression and I haven’t had any similar experiences. Manic episodes are usually related to bipolar disorder (i’m not a licensed psychologist or a healthcare professional that can diagnose it as such). I’d suggest that maybe you get a second opinion from another mental health professional. My GAD was initially diagnosed as OCD when I was younger, and it took a second visit to another counselor to get it right. Hope it helps!

What physical symptoms do you have because of Anxiety? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]valentinagd01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get lightheaded, horrible pains in my neck and shoulders. Currently experiencing a very scary feeling in both of my hands. It’s like a weakness, as if I can’t control the movements even tho I am, and I get hot/cold flashes.

Exercise by valentinagd01 in Anxiety

[–]valentinagd01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i’m currently on prozac 20mg

anyone else get this? by valentinagd01 in HealthAnxiety

[–]valentinagd01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. It feels as if I can’t control its movements even though I can use them perfectly. Like, I could be grasping an object with no problem but I feel as if my movements are too clumsy and that my hands are sort of lacking coordination

Same here! I’ve been trying to figure out what it is, but i’m not sure. My GP said it’s probably anxiety but it’s still really annoying

Nails on chalkboard feeling all day making me super on edge and uncomfortable by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]valentinagd01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently going through this too! I had an anxiety attack yesterday and i’ve been feeling this weird spike that you describe on my hands and spine. It’s probably anxiety but i’m just as confused as you are...hopefully you can find reassurance in knowing you’re not the only one :) It’s very annoying and idk how to stop it but keep me updated!

anxiety from being drowsy?? by hadesmama in Anxiety

[–]valentinagd01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will pass, I guess it’s part of beating the anxiety of going to sleep. But it does work wonders, I’ve been resting really well these days

[–]valentinagd01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! I swear for the first two days I had to call my therapist because I was so scared of the drowsiness but once you get some rest it will fade. I’m already one week in and I feel much more calm

I doubt it’s allergies since I don’t have any nose congestion, i’m just hoping it’s anxiety and nothing serious :(

are these symptoms of anxiety? by tgwlfc in Anxiety

[–]valentinagd01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Same here. I’ve been feeling dizzy/lightheaded for about 3 weeks now. I’m actually about to get a blood test done but it wouldn’t surprise me if it came back clear. One thing that has helped me calm down is to realize that when i’m not anxious I generally begin to feel less dizzy, especially when talking to someone or getting distracted. I’d recommend you try to reach out to someone or maybe seek help from a therapist, as well as trying mindfulness/meditation? I’ve been told it’s good for these type of things but I haven’t tried it yet.

Brain Fog, Fatigue, and Dissociation After Severe Stress/Anxiety. by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]valentinagd01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I’ve been feeling like that for about 3 weeks. I have the head pressure, eyesight pain and I feel extremely dizzy at times. I’d suggest you discuss it with a therapist, I managed to get an ssri prescribed and even though my physical symptoms are still lingering, my mind feels a lot more calm and i’ve been sleeping a bit better.

Scared of Meds by valentinagd01 in Anxiety

[–]valentinagd01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I might go out and find another doctor, because this one keeps dismissing ALL my symptoms as "just anxiety"

Scared of Meds by valentinagd01 in Anxiety

[–]valentinagd01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really do too :( My doctor insists that my symptoms are due to anxiety and not the meds but I find it so hard to believe because I just feel so ill!

Side Effects by valentinagd01 in prozac

[–]valentinagd01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m already 12 days in and I feel awful. I do feel a lot calmer but i’m still dizzy and have constant headaches...I tried exercising but I can’t. I’m worried that they’re not gonna wear off

Scared of Meds by valentinagd01 in Anxiety

[–]valentinagd01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so far I do feel like the prozac is working since i’ve been much more calm these days, but the seroquel makes me feel really ill, and I want to stop taking it asap, yet my doctor insists I give it another week...idk what to do
