Hi everyone,
Hoping someone can help beacuse i cant cope anymore, about three weeks ago i got a severe pain in head, and this has continued to now, the pain is sharp shooting all over head, when i get them it makes me panic so so bad , as i think i am about to have a anyersm (blood clot) in my brain and die instantly, i have been to the docs and she has checked me out and says it is nothing serious just anxiety related as everything i go to the doctors for is.
But i cant get over it, i can not describe just how scared i am, i get these pains all the time, or if i am talking or watching TV and i havent had one for an hour or so, it comes so bad and makes me have a bad panic attack.
I have suffered with GAD & PA for 4 years now, and have been doing well then relapsed so many times, recently i took myself off Cipralex as i felt very wierd on them, and had very bad withdrawel effects, which threw me into a bad relapse, now can not cope at all, no energy, feel like i am going mad, scared of life, eating in case its been poisoned, drinking in case its been spiked, people touching me or my things in case of germs, am at my wits end.
Cant see my doc again till sept 8th think i will have to go back on meds but dread the first 2 weeks of side effect think i will totally lose it.
just want an Mri done to rule out my biggest fear, I have suffered with headaches over a year ago but dont ever remember them being so so bad, back then i was convinced i had a brain tumor, and i would have a slow horrible death, but now i am convinced i will die as soon as i get the pain, i dont think it helps that my friends mum had a severe blood clot in the brain, my friend told me she had a severe headache for a few minutes then collapsed, and went into a coma, now she is literally paralysed.
Sorry for the long post, does anyone understand or can help me!
