Hi

Sounds like your describing a classic panic attack & i can assure you its nothing to worry about honestly.

Have you seen books on anxiety by Claire Weekes? she covers alot of ground on this subject, its well worth looking into. (It was also the first bit of great advice i got when i first joined the forum)

Hope this helps

Take Care

Well its 5:42... and i went to sleep 2 hours ago and woke up scared and trembling because of being nervous... This gets soooo irritating :( I just want some kind of relief and someone to just be able to tell me i dont have brain tumor or anything.. I have had like 3 different CT scans from 2 different doctors, blood test, and almost everything there is to do... The only thing that was ever found out to be wrong with me is "hyperventilating" because my oxygen level was too high or something

I get the blue thing too! Although mine is sometimes green!
I thought I was going insane at first, and after seeing four doctors I've been told I'm fine. My dad seems to think it's a case of if you look for something when looking at an object or you're not really concentrating on what you're looking at but thinking oh god what if it's there in the left corner, you're not focusing on say the TV you're watching you're effectively making yourself go cross eyed etc.
I find it hard not to do it, and not to freak out, and ofcourse people saying "just don't yhink about it" does NOT work in the slightest, but I do believe acceptance goes some way to hopefull getting rid of it some day. The more panic attacks I have the worse it gets but my panic attacks are about my eyes so it's all a vicious circle. I try to move from where I am, change the lighting, get a drink of water, take 6 deep breaths and then go back to the situation. Doesn't always work, but sometimes it does!
