Woah, amazing title but I guess it kind of gets to the quick doesn't it?
Hi, my name is Chris, I have come hear because I am just running out of ideas of what I am supposed to do and how to get my house in order as it were. My biggest problem when it comes to anxiety is what I guess could be described as panic attacks. I am unsure if they are but they feel that way. When I have them I tend to find the same things happen:
My legs will start twitching like I cannot ground myself (especially if I am sitting down).
My body and arms will start to move randomly and usually my fists will clench up.
I will start to be unable to control my thoughts like there are a million in there and my head may burst.
I start making noises, either massive outbursts of sound, random noises or laughing manically
When this happens it can happen for anything between 30 seconds to 30 minutes and as you might imagine it is rather annoying as I cannot predict it and when it comes on I cannot predict how long it will last for. I also find that when it has finished I feel a wave going through me, the best way I can describe it is like gravity going into my body. I also tend to afterwards be tired, depressed and start thinking about bad things that get me down.
I am really getting sick of this and just want it to stop. I have been tested for Autism and it is believed that it is not the case. I have had an EEG done on my head and nothing can be found. I am on certain medications designed to stop this and it does not seem to be working. I am at a loss at this point.
I have researched this online but what I want to avoid is making assumptions about things that may wrong with me but have nothing to do with me but I look to them and assume them to be the answer, I also seen to look for things to be wrong with me in order to make myself feel worse so I have something more to complain about, it's stupid and I hate it but that seems to be the way it is. I have been reading about the idea of Martyr syndrome and that seems to tick all the boxes.
Well that's me. I hope to meet like minded others and hopefully figure out what I am meant to do next...
