just want to feel normal again

[dc100]

Hi all,

Im really fed up with anxiety the past 4/5 days i have been in a heighten state of anxiety i have been suffering for a long time with eye symptoms like spots and flashes in vision i then convince myself i have a brain tumor or mad cows disease now for the last 2 days over Christmas my body has been tingling all over and constant thought of going mad and im mentally ill started to feel a bit better yesterday evening but then started getting horrible intrusive thoughts about hurting loved ones which then kicked off my anxiety even more now this morning i feel dizzy and dream like its horrible

anyone else had anything similar to help put my mind at rest

Hi

I am sure this is all anxiety related and neither of the things you think you have.

Intrusive thoughts are horrible and I hope the disappear as quickly as they came.

Hang in there.

Is there anything you can try and focus on, or take yourself out and about for a short while.
