I looked up Anxiety on a psychology website and it gave symptoms and I have all of them: Muscle tension, Physical weakness, Poor memory, Sweaty hands, Fear or confusion, Inability to relax, Constant worry, Shortness of breath, Palpitations, Upset stomach, Poor concentration. It’s pretty much affecting my day to day life. I get panic attacks every now and then and I feel anxious all the time. I don’t know if I have anxiety but Im sick of feeling this way. Im short of breath and my heart beats so fast all the time. I always feel a clenching in my chest. Public wise I have certain things that I have to do in order to feel “safe”. I like to get to school early so I can sit in front of my class so no one will see me, I have a paranoia that people are always judging me and watching I cant sleep at night coz Im always worrying and theres so much more (but no space to type) Im just tired of living my life in constant fear and worry and feeling sick about it all the time. I dont know what to do

it just seems like this friend i know constantly makes things twisted around so never to be blamed, responsible, or at fault for something (which no one is perfect i know this). i was just wondering if confusion and just not making sense at all was common with anxiety. and if the people close to the one suffering get irritated and confused also.

I was rear-ended 2 mos ago and had whiplash. 2 wks later the symptoms started. I also had just been put on Prozac 40mg after 8mos of Lexapro teh day after the accident.

I have had a complete blood workup and everythign is normal except my iron is a little low but I’m not anemic. I just had an MRI and CAT scan & both are normal. The neuro doesn’t think anything is wrong – said it could be like a post-concussion syndrome even though my head didnt hit anything except my head rest. I tested neg for Celiac disease and have no allergies. Ive had anxiety my whole life and was on Prozac for 10yrs until I switched the the Lexapro a few months ago. Ive stopped all anxiety meds for a month & half now and i’m not. PLEASE HELP

So you see I googled everything I could to explain why was getting so sick and it kept coming back to the same thing, a broken heart. I thought… fucking bullshit, thats not a real cause of anything…

But as it turns out, my psychologist says its not a joke or poetic word. It’s a real mental illness that can cause severe health problems as it is doing already. Apparently my great aunty died of it when her husband passed away…

Mental Symptoms -
# Mania: I have extreme highs when nothing can get me down, not even the worst things in the world
# Depression: I cry everynight almost now
# Insomnia: I don’t sleep to well and constantly wake up in the middle of the night, and I can’t sleep at all unless Teddy is in my arms
# Loss of concentration: I fade in and out in TAFE classes doing a thousand yard stare which apparently is another symptom
# OCD: I must be wearing my necklace and bracelet that Josh gave to me otherwise I break down completely. When my teacher took the bracelet off me I had a small anxiety attack.
# Suicidal thoughts (in extreme cases): Yes I have had them, but they pass very quickly with my drugs. Like I think of the option but it doesn’t interest me.
# The thousand-yard stare: Already said I have them.
# A feeling of complete emptiness: Like theres nothing really to life at all… its just a boring ride… but I use to have those feelings long before I met Josh.

Physical Symptoms -
# Upset stomach: I started crying last night at Youth Group and ran to the bathroom to throw up
Change in appetite: When this all first started I didn’t eat for 4 days straight and still barely eat now
# Dizziness and confusion: That time I ran all the way to my friends house. The confusion was when I couldn’t remember a thing of where I was or what happened.
# Comatose: When I reached my friends house and couldn’t say anything but Josh’s name.
# A perceived tightness of the chest, similar to an anxiety attack: I find that when I have an anxiety attack I can’t breath and begin to pant. Like when my teacher took my bracelet off me.
# Anger: When my mother brought his name up in the car and I screamed at her not to mention his name
# Nostalgia
# Apathy (loss of interest): I was playing a game the other week at Inspire when I just completely lost interest and sat out, it happens even at TAFE while we are doing something or talking about something really interesting I just give up and don’t put much effort to it anymore.
# Feelings of loneliness: I feel it all the time and surround myself with friends to put that feeling off.
# Loss of self-respect and/or self-esteem: I’ve lost great respect for myself, I said and I promised him I would help him. But I haven’t… That’s something I worry about frequantly

# In extreme cases, death: No, that hasn’t happened… lol

My doctor said that I’m pushing the boundary to being hospitalized, he’s looking at another drug for me to go on seeing as thought my anti-depressants are only doing half the job.
I never thought Love Sick was actually a real thing, let alone deadly…
So tell me…

Ever heard of something like this or no someone whose been through this… I couldn’t help but laugh even when my doctor said it was no laughing matter and I’m a severe case… lol, no I know why they say love kills…

my mom is 70 and had been on sythroid. not sure when they put her on .007mcg of sythroid but after a fall in July, she entered into hosp. dr up’ed it to 1.0 , i noticed a big change of anxiety, and she has gone downhill since. she is currently being treated for depression, anxiety, psychosis . Dr says it will take 4-6 weeks for med to make a difference. no one knows what causes psychosis in elderly, but i am wondering why Dr lowered the dose immediately to .025mcg?
they did check. i can’ t tell you the exact values, but in the chart there are 3 in a row, the 1st was normal, the middle one was low, and the 3rd one was normal. i don’t know why that makes sense, but they lowered it based on some of her symptoms, Physchiatrist on a senior behavioral unit,
not sure if she had always been on .007 mcg prior, but i know the increase in July was to 1.0mcg. i know that just a little change makes a big difference. Could my mom get better, and gain her mind back? she started acting poorly then too, stopped watching tv, and would just stare, sort of gave it up, she also has had hx of depression, and chronic pain with Rhuematoid arthritis. she also has had several UTI’s this year, and i understand this causes some of the confusion, dementia in elderly.
Could the symptoms of pshycosis and confusion go away when the thyroid levels are reduced? how long should it take for this to happen? Or could it have gone to far? leaving her with dementia, pshycosis permanantly? thanks for you well wishes, this is so difficult for us to comprehend , how this change has rendered my mom so mentally challenged.

the past few months mysterious physical symptoms have popped up. Heart palpatations, rapid heart rate, confusion, occasional dizziness, "brainfog", random chest and back pains, jaw pains, headaches, hair loss. Im an in shape, active 20 year old. i exercise on a daily basis and have a great social life. These symptoms made me think something was wrong, so i got everything checked and came back negative, i was fine. But as time goes on things seem to be getting worse. More random things are happening. Can anyone who has SERIOUS anxiety, not just normal stress but anxiety that prevents you from operating day to day relate to this or have these symptoms? Does anybodys anxiety get worse with exercise? My heart rate is abnormally high, i get lightheaded and confused and feel like im about to black out if i exercise for more than an hour anymore. Im having trouble seperating what is actually phsyical and a concern and what is brought on by my constant obessessing and worrying about my health
