Crazy!!

[[Ja...]]

I am having such a hard time with the repenting paranoia and fears. The constant pressure and head dizziness. My thoughts wander around and I feel like I will loose my mind. It is absolutely terrifying at times. Do others feel this? I am at almost 5 months and the daily torment of my thoughtsystem is still present. Can anyone relate and us this normal to have after 5 months? Please help.

It is normal wd sxs, to have fear,paranoia and ruminating thoughts.

You will find people talking about these symptoms in other posts.

 

The way a lot of us deal with these, is by diverting our minds. Everyone finds different ways of doing this.

You may find meditation helpful,doing small tasks around the house,walking,praying,reading ext......

Anything to pass the time and get your mind going in a positive direction.

Sometimes you have to take this minute by minute to get through it.

Hi James,

 

Yes. I too have this. I don't have as much time behind me (only 30 days), but I just want to let you know that I can relate to what you are talking about, and what I'm learning to do is, more or less kill those negative and repetitive thoughts and replace them with logical thoughts, which usually turn out to more positive.

 

As an example: My paranoia has always been that I will have another panic attack. I have learned how to breathe through it, so I can think clearly enough not to let it frighten me, telling myself, this is not going to kill me, it's just anxiety, it will be over shortly, ...and it always is! I just have to ride it out. It really is a form of diversion as was previously mentioned to you above. If you concentrate and do this enough times your thought process eventually automatically starts thinking that way and you don't feel as bad.

 

As for dizziness and head pressure, for me, the dizziness partly comes from my anxiety, so that is slowly going away by correcting my thought process.

 

I can't say anything about head pressure, but I do get some nasty headaches....

 

I hope this helps and I hope you start to feel better soon.

I can relate too! Your not alone time heals and be patient I know it's hard to think about that when your mind is running 1000mph but breath with your belly and remind yourself this wil pass and you will be better, just an hour ago I woke up with a anxiety attack and had to do the same and yes at times I feel like I'm going crazy but once you get control over that feeling you realize what's causing it and it's the anxiety.

I can't thank you guys enough for your responses. It is so hard going through this, I can't imagine doing it without you guys. Thanks

I had the all consuming fearful thinking as well.  It is gone now.  I am 15 months out. I don't remember when that ended for me, it might have been at month 10 or 11.  It will go away for you as well.  Keep pressing on.
