Hi everyone,
I am new here because I have not been diagnosed with anxiety, or anything else for that matter.
About 6 years ago in high school I had a "dizzy attack", I felt lightheaded and like everything around me was wavy. I rushed home. It has gotten progressively worse over the years, from days of constant dizziness to new symptoms.
Lately, my new symptoms are down right scary and make me think I have a mental illness. I feel almost like things aren't real, they look weird to me. When I close my eyes to sleep at night I feel like Im spinning, and when I open them I feel like it stops. Sometimes parts of my body feel like they are just disappearing and I'm flipping around.
My eyes have started to really bother me, my vision seems to do a quick skip/jump and I have been seeing lights that float while my eyes are open.
I have the dizzy sensation most of the time and I never feel like I am at peace, constant neck strain also.
I wake up at night and Im talking to myself in my head even when I don't want to be, I want to rest! I get a shaky sensation like an earthquake in my back of my head, uncontrolable thoughts that are my own voice.
Does this sound like anxiety? What type of anxiety? Or is it something else????
I have had MRI, VNG test, benign proximal positional vertigo testing, blood work, thyroid check (ALL negative)
Any help would be great because now I don't feel like I can drive or sit in class very long. Very draining and ruining my life. I'm 21 year old female.
