Thank you for this list!
Before I knew what it was I had terrible feelings of unreality. I constantly felt that I was not present in the moment. Like I was watching my own life happen from afar. I couldn't live my life and I didn't know why. I started to give up trying. I finally talked to my doctor about it and tried to explain what was going on. He opened up a book about anxiety and depression and had me read a certain page. It essentially detailed what I had just told him. I immediately felt better just knowing what was going on. Eventually we adjusted my medication and got it under control. But just that moment of knowing what was happening to me was like ending a year long panic attack.
Hey there, have you heard of Pure 'O'? obsessive thoughts about harming others or carrying out sexual activities.
I wake up at night in panic attacks. I can have hyperactivity then fatigue, racing hart, body shaking, sometimes crying, spaz out in front of others. The worst is waking up in a panic for no reason. My night time medication has helped with this a lot thank god.
Hey :) panic attacks will not harm you, I used to suffer from 6 -8 panic attacks everyday, so i know what it's like. knowing that the symptoms are not hurting you, try not to fear them, panic attacks only exist because of you fearing the symptoms.Quote:

I've had anxiety since I was 20 (now 27). It has come and gone, but got a lot worse this past year with a bunch of major life changes. My symptoms change, and are never the same. Lately, I wake up and feel good, only to get hyperactively anxious when going to school. I also have a hard time concentrating for long periods of time.
The worst symptom lately, however, is fatigue. I've never been as tired as I have been lately. I'm tired throughout the day, I don't recover from my workouts at the gym. I went from running 4-5 miles without stopping to running 1, and then getting tired. I also get tired at 8pm at night. I typically get around 7 hours of sleep a night, so I'm going to try to get 8 or 9. But I'm wondering if other people have the same symptoms? Do you get fatigued easily? Or should I worry that I have Chronic fatigue syndrome, or MS, or ALS, or cancer, or something else weird?! My anxiety was getting better, until I started having this fatigue :/
Do you have also some info about addictions like gambling?
So many of those in that list can go under depression. I have yet to find an answer if there is any out there regarding how to know which is starting first. Depression than anxiety or anxiety than depression? Myself it feels like anxiety comes first and it triggers the feelings from the list above that one could mistaken for depression.

Anyone has these symptoms? please reply!!
muscle twitching,
-waking up with numb fingers that went away when I moved them
-stiff muscles, overall weakness
-weird feeling on my chin/ lower lip. (i feel kind of a phantom feeling whenever i touch my chin, like, i touch it once with a pen and feel it right below as well, can't really explain, like touch it once and feel it in a different spot on the chin also).
-sometimes i see different shades of colors from each eye, like if there was a filter on one of them, one eye sees more blueish tones, the other more reddish tones for example. It happens mostly when lying down.
