Yesterday I stayed at home all day fed up of stuggling when out in public with pain & confusion ect so yesterday decided to stop at home all day and struggle

Anyway it come to the evening we had put the children to bed and sat down to order some tea with a few episodes of sons of anarchy - now I never feel normal 24/7 I'm struggling but do my best to just get on with it but last night I felt wrong 5 minutes in to it I started to notice my clarity and attention was getting worse than it is by the seconds the next thing I couldn't move my body my head I couldn't talk or stand up my wife started to panic i was that gone i couldn't even worry myself but I knew it was happening my head started feeling like it was being pulled and I was slurring any replys I could reply to my wife - she thought I was having a stroke I don't knoe what it was but it lasted about 3 minutes then I gradulay started to get a bit more power back only a little enough to make myself take notice in not ok before that I was mentally and emotionally powerless - I started to cry I thought I was dying. My hole body was numb like someone was sat on me or I had suddenly been deopped in to water I couldn't move, talk, think, I just knew I was "there" I eventually stood up felt weak but went outside. The horrible thing is I don't have no processing so I know it's happend to me but there's nothing in my mind telling me seek help my wife is doing it it's as if my brain is off and I'm struggling.

What the hell was it?

Another thing - I've been like I am 12 months and for 12 months I've been passed on and on the latest was DP and dissociation - I met with a bloke last week who specialises in this field and within half an hour he told me in not suffering from this illness he's writing to my dr to refere me for a full neurological tests so for the last 12 months of suffering being told by my dr its this there now saying it's not .... When will this ever stop?

I've been having some sort of "seizure" I can feel it starting despite feeling 30% myself - my body will start to feel shaky my nurves will go on over drive my body goes in to some sort of feeling of shock n it hurts il lose pretty much all my mind power I can barley talk think or feel awareness il slur words n struggle to think of anything or about anything and il get pains in my head. It lasts about 20 minutes but all awhile I'm aware it's happening and have to just pretend I'm ok if in public and wait it out its hell! This surely isn't normal.

Kind of felt like I was fully numb and paralytic with nothing other than my awareness of its happening I just sat there fully numb and like I was being "warped" the feeling was strange and horrible to experience.

I've been having it a little last week but nothing like last night it starts off with pain In the back of my head makes me go a bit not with it, not dizzy but like kind of confused warped feeling it's strange.

Definitely get to a Dr!! You can have seizures and strokes and recover but you could also have damage you can't see on the outside. It's scary with medical issues...my biggest source of anxiety is health related. Any ache or pain I have sends me into a frantic search for what's wrong.

I agree with Mary, this isn't something that usually happens with anxiety. Not a classic panic attack, really. I'd follow up with the doctor

I rang my dr before he's off a stand in rang back and was reluctant to help me because now "labeled" as anxiety sufferer - I don't know what to do if I go the hospital assoon as they ask my history they just don't help because of "anxiety"

I know something isn't right though.

That's not right. Just because you have anxiety does not say you can have something else wrong. Hope you are going on ok today Ollie.
There is always A&E if you could stand the wait or Paramedics who will come out if you are not mobile yet. Where we live we can get First Responders.

I've been feeling ok today I had a slow start but by 8,45 I was ok - I took my little girl school and for the first time in 12 months I could laugh and joke with her because I could think, feel and be me it broke my heart it was priceless ....

I started to drive to work and could feel it tugging on me what ever is happening, I've found if I put the blowers on warm air seems to bring it on I start to feel as if I'm being suffercated and can't breath also I lose clarity and start to struggle it's crazy!!
I opend the windows even put my hand out the window to take my attention away from it, the other night was scary it happend the day after too only for a couple of seconds though while driving in work.

I haven't a clue what's happening to my body and me I just know I'm struggling I'm getting up and going to work everyday because I know I have to I've no choice really and despite how I feel or what I'm experiencing wether it be pain confusion lack of clarity memory or all I just struggle on, I'm that bad a lot of the time i can't think to do anything about it, I know I'm not right but there's just nothing there as if I cant think to act.

Ive found if Im lucky & wake up feeling like I can focus think concentrate ect anything physical that isnt just normal brings it on! For example the other morning I woke up and I felt about 80% me it was amazing I didn't want it to go - I went the shop and still felt ok I was smiling feeling great praying to God that it's over! I had to quickly jog across the road then I could feel it coming on - starts in the lower body pain/tens sensation rises up in to the top half then my head starts to hurt tense up my eyes start to go blurry my head starts to feel crushed then that's it I'm done why in this state I experience some horrible horrible horrible things!! I can barley think at all, I'm in agony, can't focus, my memory is pretty much nothing, I can't feel or connect to anything or one it's messed up hell. I'm stuck like this until my body decides to click back open or open up a little then it all just starts over I'm stuck in this horrible cycle. When at the wirst i don't even have enough mental power to think it physically hurts and my brain feels like it's being fried - some terrible things happen.

Is this really anxiety? I've been like this from the night it happend 24/7 pretty much and my dr just keep saying its anxiety. So what was the other night! If he says anxiety one more time without helping me I think il crack him I'm fed up of struggling now.

I'm not just forgetfull I feel constantly in a state of not with it so it makes me vulnerable and forgetful because of how I feel is making me struggle. The other day I went the shop for my wife to get a can of Coke I walked over walked around the shop then walked back I can remember doing it but had no awareness of what I went for not just forgot but as if I wasn't asked In the first place as if there was thought process of awareness - now I know as soon as I walked back through the door what I had done i know it's happening to me but that isn't normal I'm like that nearly 24/7!!

It's horrible I have no control over it and not as if I ca get away from it I wake everyday dreading how and what I'm going to experience each and ever day!!

Thanks

Hi,

Go to the hospital, might be these things called TIA's, mini strokes.

I knew of someone who was suffering from them, he is fine now and on medication but I wouldn't wait, although I know it's scary.

I would just go to A&E to be honest and describe your symptoms.

Hope you're ok.
