Hi mysticsoul

Are you on any medication? Some of your symptoms sound like side effects from anti depressants.

However, I'm no doctor. I would definitely get this checked out.

No medications and I have been checked out dozens of times

Sure could be anxiety. Could be. Anxiety is known for the wide variety of symptoms when in an acute high anxiety state. There is a list on this forum somewhere and it's large and varied. Alankay

simple partial seizures have been, at times misdiagnosed as an anxiety disorder.

i'm not saying it is this, and i hope to god it doesn't trigger your anxiety!
but...it is a fact, and so it is a possibility.
maybe mention it to your therapist and see what he/she has to say.

alankay is right though, anxiety is known for it's wide variety of symptoms.
just when you think you understand it, another new symptom seems to appear!
