I've been having CBT for the past 3 weeks now, I've always found it hard to pin down the cause of my anxiety, I experience a derealization feeling, panic attacks, sensations in my head, fears of death.
The CBT has worked to an extent, I decided to work on my fear of death, as when I begin to think about it I end up feeling life is worthless if we're all going to die anyway, nature of reality, and then the panic attacks begin. So if I could beat my panic over those thoughts at least then I would be some way to helping myself.
Anyway, the past few days I have been panicking more about the sensations in my head, the left side of my head mainly, around my nose, tear ducts, ears, forehead, back of head, and sometimes I feel like I'm finding it hard to swallow. I'm going to go to the doctors tomorrow to get it all checked out anyway to make sure it is just my anxiety and no medical problems behind it.
But I was wondering, has anyone else had this, and how does it work in relation to CBT? My panic attack tonight, over tense feelings in the back of my head and neck, and feeling like I couldn't swallow, or that I could swallow my tongue, was amongst the worst I have ever had.
