Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I have had anxiety for a lonnnnng time, but today something very bizarre happened to me that sent me to the ER..THEY at the ER after talking to my dr, thought that. Was having a reaction to a recently increased dose of a diabetes med. I went up on the dose on Wed, so today was my second dose of the increased amount. But here is what happened. About 11 am I was sitting at my desk working and all of a sudden, my body felt heavy, paralyzed. I couldn't move for about five minutes. Once that passed, I just felt like I wasn't in my body. When I was in the waiting room, everything around me was in slow motion. I exp it to the ER dr and he said it was "third person"....I guess my question is, could this have been a panic attack????
However, the symptoms you provided I have read as a symptom of anxiety.
When my sugars are out of wack, my anxiety seems to get worse.
I am very sensitive to white flour, white potatoes, and white rice.....sends my sugars and anxiety through the roof.
Have you ever considered an Endocrinologist? They can help with diabetes as well as hormone/thyroid problems which usually goes hand in hand (sometimes) with diabetics....and that can cause anxiety.
I know the exact symptoms you talk about though. Those are the same for psychosis.
Once in a great while I slip into psychosis and it is the most horrifying experience every time. My stalker who gave me the gift of PTSD, watched me during the entire time, knowing that he made me sick. And then he continued his harassment and watched me from afar when I went into psychosis, like he was surveying his work, thinking of himself as an artist or god.
Psychosis will put you in a time warp. The person in psychosis moves very very slowly. During my first psychosis episode I did not know what it was, did not know why I moved so slowly, did not know why he watched me. When you are in psychosis many things go wrong and all you can do is hold onto something to make it through the roller coaster ride.
BTW MsBlank1, funny picture.
