I always been pretty convinced all i have is anxiety, and that all my symptoms are from anxiety. But now im worried what if i don't have anxiety but instead have some really bad mental illness, and i just mistake it for anxiety? I never been officially diagnosed with anxiety, that i can remember, so the anxiety is kind of self diagnosed
My symptoms are feeling spaced out, sweaty, intrusive and strange thoughts, feeling unreal, feeling like nothing is real (this symptom scares me very bad..its soo overwhelming and scary..its the symptom i fear and hate the most..it makes me feel like im about to go crazy :(, brain fog, dizziness, dry mouth, difficulty concentrating, constant worry (as soon as i wake up), racing thoughts, yawning, feeling tired and slow, feeling like something bad is about to happen, feeling really out of it and weird..sometimes feeling like im not even alive anymore , feeling scared for no reason, always searching online for answers, and very afraid of losing my mind/ going mad.
First panic attack i had a few years ago i thought i was dying, went to doctor and they said i was hyperventilating. After that i been worried about my heart, got checked, everything was fine. Then i had worries about something being wrong with my brain because i experienced dizziness etc. Now im worried about going crazy. So that's why i self-diagnosed it as anxiety.. as many of the symptoms seem to match.
Also doc prescribed me pills to calm down once.
So i made a doc app for friday, hopefully she can tell me its just anxiety and not a bad mental illness. Im just freaking out i mean im so stupid for not getting officially diagnosed maybe i have something worse. I know this may sound stupid but im serious. I think maybe it was stupid to self diagnose and i should have seen a doctor sooner and now it might be too late.. i can't get it out of my mind.
Someone help?
Am i going mad??
I need reassurance..
