Hello,
Ok so ive had panic disorder, anxiety etc for 13 years. It comes and goes sometimes its the "worst" ever an sometimes it manageable.
I've been ok recently actually better than ok I've been doing really well. Last year I had a bad reaction to citalopram and had terrible derealisation/depersonalisation I thought I was at the end of my mind. But in march this year I tripped and severely broke my ankle, really badly it was horrible I couldn't walk for nearly 8 weeks and for some reason my anxiety just went away.
The last few days though its sort of come back and bit nothing major an i can deal with most of it well but there is one thing that is freaking me out.
It's hard to explain but ill try, I feel like I am going paralysed, I have a wave of spasms in a particular area say my hands or my face and it feels hot, sometimes it just feels like I can't move my legs, feet or hands an I stiffen up and then panic a little. I've made it worse by googling it and because I now have metal plates and pins in my ankle I'm convinced I have tetanus or lockjaw or something.
It's weird because after the little spasms or whatever they are I feel spaced out and get a headache. I've not slept well the last few nights so my anxiety is higher than normal.
It's happening now actually I feel tingly, my arms feel like they are going stiff and won't move, it's feels like its right inside my arms deep in the muscle. I feel hot and sweaty. It's really quite scary.
Does this sound families to anyone?
Thank you x x
