Hello
I'm new to the forum and scared of how I feel.
I've suffered with anxiety/panic attacks on an off for years but this is the worst I have felt.
I feel constantly shakey and like everything is unreal. The dizziness is as nightmare and I feel like I am going mad. I have intrusive thoughts that really scare me. I *know* deep down that people who really go mad don't know that they are but that doesn't help. If I feel ok for a moment I begin to feel that maybe I'm just not aware of being mad and second guess myself.
My brain has gone into overdrive and suddenly cannot contemplate stupid things like the world or the internet. For, example I was watchng tell and there was an american program on - for some reason I found myself thinking that there couldn't possible be a world with millions of peopl all doing different things at the same time, and then worried that this might mean I am schizophrenic or something which set off another panic.
I've been to the docs and been put on prozac which has worked for me in the past but I am in the horrible stage where things get worse before they get better. I also have propranalol but it doesn't do much.
I just want to feel normal and enjoy Christmas for my kids.
Can anyone relate to this or am I really going crazy?!?!
