im so scared , this disorientation is extreme!! hopeless :((

[kevinwilson]

hi im kevin, im 16 years old and last year i sufferd septicaemia. after i recovered i started getting anxiety attacks and over the past few months theyve gotten really bad and im getting so fed up with this :(, ive had numerous blood tests mostly ok, a the odd showing infection.. i recently had an mri done because im getting extreme disoientation,dizzyness,numbness in head and over body, i feel like im not in control of my body and im going to die with some sort of rare disease :/, yeah i know it sounds daft but i read an article about prion diseases and im obsessed about having this, nothing takes my mind off this disease and i really think ive got it, it scares me :((, the MRI scan results all came back showing nothing all fine (i also had my neck/nerves or something) but i cant stress anymore my body is just numb 24-7.Heres a list of my symptoms

-dizzyness
-fatigue
-disorientation
-sometimes nauseated
-full body numbness (mostly head)
-feeling faint
-cant concentrate
-feeling like im floating through air
-feeling like im not in control
-mood swings
-forgetfull
-overwhelming fear

as i said all tests done so far came back great but i cant accept the fact that its panic, these feelings are extreme, the doctors said its anxiety im only 16 and should be living my life but i just feel hopeless.. and hopefully i could get some feedback on this forum.. it would be highly appreciated as im scared to death , thanks and godbless

Sorry mate but everything you list is anxiety and not much more .

I would say that what your body went though with the septicaemia has upset it and now your nerves are acting up . It is NOT all in your head but is your nerves and then your reacting to those feelings and sysmptoms .

There is a great web site you can use to learn more . www.anxietycentre.com

There is also things that you will need to do . First is to understand anxiety and that it is not some monster that is out to get you and it will not hurt you as bad as it feels . There is also things you should look at like diet , learning to relax . You may also like to look at some natural supps such as Vit B , Magnesium , Omega 3 , and a good multi . You might even like to think about seeing a naturopath .

Hope that helps a little . Can i ask what has your doctor said about treatment ???

cheers kev
