Hello guys, hope you're having a great day.
About 5/6 months ago I took a high dosage of ecstasy and since then I've been battling anxiety. I've not taken any drugs since, I'm eating pretty well and my symptoms have got much, much better. I'm proud of the progress I have made but I've hit a stumbling block. I just need some advice on how to beat the latest hurdle I'm facing.
Ok, so most of January and February I have felt fine. I operated normally, was very happy and didn't pay much attention to my health. However since this weekend I have been experiencing physical symptoms that are causing me anxiety and inability to sleep.
Here's a breakdown of the physical symptoms: rapid heart and pulsing sensation in my central chest, pulsing sensation in the ear and a feeling that the ear is "full" and closing up, a sort of "outer-body" feeling that nothing is real, odd zaps and pulses in my head.
My main worry is that I've caused permanent brain damage from the drug, or the brain zaps and outer body feelings are some sort of seizure . I haven't seen a doctor in 3-4 months because I have been fine and she always puts it all down to anxiety. But I'm not completely convinced any more. I'm not really anxious these days, I just get anxious when I experience these symptoms from out of nowhere.
Any general advice and help would be really appreciated. Thank you for reading, have a nice day!
PS I'm stressed with uni work and overthinking about an ex girlfriend because we have started talking again. Could this be a catalyst for my symptoms because I've only stressed about this since March?
