I went to the doctors and was diagnosed with Anxiety although my doctor didn’t really seem to be too confident on Mental Health and probably prefers working with Physical Health problems, I don’t know.
I’ve sort of diagnosed myself with Depression, there’s no way I don’t have it. And also I think I can be sure i have Social Anxiety Disorder.
I was just wondering if I could have anything else? I took a personality quiz and it seemed positive I had borderline Personality Disorder, i’ve read the symptoms and it’s possible.
This is me;
- always nervous, on edge, feeling like escaping
- panic attacks
- self harm/suicidal intentions
- don’t have many friends anymore
- get annoyed by the friends i do have really easily and know they don’t understand me
- hate attention
- have to sit in the middle of a row in assembly so i can’t be seen as easily/hate walking by myself, when i do i clench my hands into fists so my nail dig into my palms
- really don’t want to go to prom because i’ll have to socialize
- takes 1 – 2 hours to get to sleep at night but always tired during the day/fall asleep in class
- always feel unhappy but try not to show it so i don’t get asked why because i hate attention
- sometimes can’t make myself speak
- can’t concentrate
- can’t go out by myself to public places

I can’t think of anymore right now but can anyone suggest some names of problems to me? At least if i know what i have i’ll be able to treat them.
Thanks x
I got pains in my chest last summer which were said to be palpitations from my nerves. I went to the Doctors in October so it has been 6 months. It’s so hard to deal with all this especially as i’m only nearly 16.
Also, i don’t really have highs at all. I have different levels of lows but i can’t say i ever really feel happy. I do laugh and joke with my friends in lessons but it’s all a facade really.

I’m 16 yeard old. I’ve struggled with anxiety for years, but over the past few weeks I’ve been showing symptoms of panic disorder.

It all started when I smoked a great amount of marijuana in mid-August. I would like you to know that it was a HORROR experience and I never plan to try it again. It was only my 3rd time and I had far too much. I had a full-blown panic attack, mainly because I was in a state where I couldn’t control my thoughts. I kept seeing myself jumping from the 2nd story of the apartment I was in, and breaking my neck. Or saying something totally uncalled for and inappropriate. And I knew it was a possibility because I kept thinking "You don’t know reality from dream right now. Whatever you’re thinking may or may not be real". So any horrible thought that ran through my head could have been real and I wouldn’t have even known it. I was pacing around and my palms were sweating. I kept begging for someone to take me to the mental hospital where I’d be safe. All I wanted was to go to sleep, and I eventually did, but it was difficult. When I woke up I felt better, but the unreality was still vaguely there.

And it has lingered ever since.

I’ve been noticing my palms sweating quite often. I’ve imagined saying or doing something inappropriate, just like before, except I have full control now. But lately I’ve been having dizzy spells and the unreality hits me often. I also get hot flashes. I’m too aware of my surroundings, and I wonder if everything is real. I get numbness all over and I feel disassociated from my body. I have this feeling like I have to hold on or I’ll just fly up into space.

The main places I feel this in are the car (especially in the dark, like on the interstate, with the windows down), the bus when it’s crowded, and one of my classes where I’m in the back corner and the desks are too close together. It hits me the worst on the bus, since it’s crowded and the people are loud. As a result, I have avoided riding the bus for the past two days. Whenever I’m in an open space, like my house, I can deal with it much better.

Whenever I read up on panic disorder, the symptoms are described as "terrifying". I would say that mine are, at most, disturbing. Therefore, I believe I have a mild version of it.

The worst feelings come and go within a few seconds. I just start breathing deeply, telling myself to "chill out" and reassuring myself that everything is okay, and real. It helps to think of my friends.

I have a hard time talking to people about it, because it seems like when I do, everything becomes unreal again, and I get nervous. I vaguely fear losing control.

I see a psychologist every 2 weeks, but since I can’t talk to him about it, I will probably just type him a paper to read. Also, my mom cannot seem to find a psychiatrist. My dad is studying psychology and he knows a great deal about it. He said that it may be a symptom of my major depression.

Can anyone provide me a possible diagnosis, and let me know what I can do to make these disturbing feelings go away? I would like support. It’s the best anyone can do for me.

Thanks!

Since July I have been having random bouts of chest tightness and/or chest pain. My resting heart rate is around 110-120 bpm. Sometimes I will start shaking, get sweat palms, hands and fingers turn purple, arm and leg spasms that I can’t control. I have probably been sent to the ER at least 20 times since it began in July. Have had every test under the sun done. Have gone into Ventricular Tachycardia 2 times, have been admitted to the hospital 3 times. On top of it all I have lost 45 lbs. Have had hundred of EKGs; they almost always show a Long QT wave, and twice the docs have seen PVCs. They say that there is nothing wrong with my heart so they have been treating me for anxiety. I never feel stressed, anxious or depressed. Have been on 2 different anti-depressants and obviously they haven’t worked. I am pretty sure I don’t have anxiety but the docs don’t know what else to look for. Can anyone help?
