Please.. Anybody.. This is going to be long winded but I'm just to the point where I've HAD it. I'm so depressed and so tired of panicking and being in pain 24/7. I'll start with the most recent thing. Ringing in my ears had been going on for years.. (I'm 21. I turn 22 in 2 weeks been dealing with anxiety problems since 16, at least that was my first panic attack that started the panic and hypochondria) I went to a Ear Nose and Throat doctor for the ringing. Hearing test came back perfect and my ears looked good. So I went for a MRI without contrast because my insurance would only cover without contrast and not both. Got the results and they said it was normal however I had a small cyst (about 6mm) on my pineal gland and couldn't find an answer or the ringing. So, I got sent to a Neurologist. My anxiety is through the roof. Panicking as soon as I hear that something is in my brain. I read that it can cause all these problems if it's big enough. Maybe it's the reason I have such extreme anxiety (how I'm thinking) I went in today. The neurologist told me.. Nothing to worry about or lose sleep over. Completely common. It wouldn't cause any of my anxiety or panic or depression. Went through the neurology exam and he wanted me to do a EEG to check my brain waves and see if my panic attacks are actually seizures of some kind or something. I had it done and I have to wait until Monday for the a take home one for 3 days which has me so scared. Night time is the worse for me anymore. Around 8 o'clock hit and here comes all the symptoms full blast. I have been having to take kholonpin (that I'm not prescribed anymore since I haven't been able to see a psychiatrist.. Financial reasons) but with this 3 day test I can't take anything, I don't think. I've just had it. I it's not the constant health panic, it's the fear that I'm going crazy or schizophrenic. I can't even try any SSRIs because I'll take one and go straight into panic. I got prescribe Paxil and boom.. I woke up the same night shaking, cold sweats, pounding heart, throwing up.. Complete panic. I always call my mom and see if she can help me. I'm so tired of being in this constant pain. Can ANYBODY going threw this help me with any if this?
