for your distressing symptoms?

i have bad persecutory paranoia, where i dont trust alot of people, i think people are out to get me, are ostracizing me, want to ruin my life, prevent me from accomplishing my goals, im being talked about…..people know who iam..

i have racing, obsessive thoughts each day, where i cant hold a train of thought, i keep forgetting…100 thoughts, anxieties, insecurities, racing round my mind all at once…cant concentrate or organize anything.

i have high levels of panic and anxiety which has prevented me going out anywhere…i dont feel safe outside, feel ill be attacked or something will happen to me…i have panic attacks, where i cant catch my breath…im startled by loud noises..i only go out when i have to.
i have flashbacks to traumatic times, bullying times, when i was victimised and attacked.
i have rage and anger feelings constantly still, years ago i used to have rage outbursts regularly, but now i contol it, but get the feelings alot
i have disocociation when outside, when im in panic
and anxiety mode…i sort of just zone out..

these symptoms are very dibilitating and are impairing
my ability to go out, live my life or function…
i cant even leave my apartment now, unless i gots to.

my psychiatrist has organised some ”psychotherapy”
and an occupational therapist..
but he wont perscribe meds because he said their
addictive…..plus i heard the proper treatment
i should be getting is DBT dialectal behavioural
therapy.
so i feel as though im missing out and not getting the right
help, treatment or support.
can anyone give ‘ clear ‘ advise on what i should do?
i feel i exibit symptoms of PTSD , anxiety disorder, depression…..although ive not been diagnosed with these things.
just the BPD
ive suffered like this since 16…..im 30 now
i just want to get well and recover, accomplish a happy life.
this is why im so frustrated

I’m just curious because I’ve had a lot of panic and anxiety attacks and just noticed that my finger nails have an off-white line across them and a bit of a dark purple color just under that. So is this caused by panic/ anxiety attacks or is it something more serious than that?

I have Panic and Anxiety disorder…..sometimes, even if I don’t go into a full fledged attack, I still get symptoms like Irregular heartbeats showing up on my BP monitor, and feels like its hard to breathe. Is this common?

Just so you know, I am a very athletic 30 year old male, who has had all the other tests ran such as 24 Holter monitor, echo cardiogram, catscans, bloodwork, chest xrays….etc…etc…. my doc’s tell me it’s anxiety….

Do these things sound common?

I take Lexapro 10mg once a day, and 0.5 Lorazepam in the a.m. and 0.25 Lorazepam at night (total of 0.75 daily)

I swear I don’t feel depressed, but I do suffer from panic and anxiety attacks when I’m in public. People accuse me of being depressed though because they say they go hand-in-hand. But I truly do not feel depressed. Is that possible?

Could having chest tightness for several weeks still be heart related? I have had this tightness for several weeks, off and on…mainly on. It doesn’t hurt, it just feels a bit tight. I am not having trouble breathing. I have no other bothersome symptoms. I did quit smoking right before this started…I don’t know if that’s related. I do have tooth decay in my mouth…which is getting fixed next week…seriously wondering if that could be related. I do have some issues with panic and anxiety. In fact, since this started, I have been having panic attacks up to 4 and 5 times a day.

Go to the doctor…I KNOW. Unfortunetly, my insurance will not kick in til the end of the month. Looking for some ideas now…Any suggestions and opionions are welcomed…serious answers only.

THANKS TO ALL!
Detail I should have added…if I press on my chest it feels more sore….I don’t know if that makes a difference.
