First of all I just want to say that this place is a saviour, I have been visiting these forums for about a year and a half but this is the first time i have posted and all you people who post here put so many peoples mind at rest and deserve a big thank you.:yesyes:
I have suffered from what the doctors call anxiety for about 5 years, ive had all the symptoms you all suffer from and have been in and out of the doctors and put on so many different anti depressents which most of made me feel so bad I couldnt stick with them,
The last 2 years I have managed to cope a bit better with my symptoms and have been anti depressent free for about a year, I still get a few bad days here and there but not as bad as 5 years ago. That was until 2 weeks ago, for some reason i have been suffering from headaches and head pains and pressure, insomnia (when I do sleep no mattter how much sleep I get im still tired), depersonlisation, confusion and feel like im going mad or am going to have a breakdown or something. When the symptoms start I keep telling myself its anxiety but im really starting to doubt it can be and nothing I can think of has triggered it as im not under stressed,I just feel so bad sometimes the last 2 weeks have been hell. I excercise 4 times a week which helps but the fatigue is making it hard to even do that.
I really dont want to go back to the doctors as I get fed up with being fobbed off with anti depressents and told its just anxiety. I feel there must be seriously something wrong with me as I just feel so bad, I have had ECGs done all clear and saw a neuroligist years back who also told me that I do not have a brain tumour and its just anixety, can it really be all in my head?
I did alot of drugs in my youth (14 years ago) and I worry that all these symptoms I get are all induced from long term damage and I am suffering from dementia or something and that I am going to feel like this for ever.
Sorry for the long post just need a bit of assurance from people that understand what I am going thorough because all the doctors I tend to see dont.
