Scared, heavy feeling in brain


[tw...]

Recommended Posts

I'm really, really scared right now. I feel like my brain is shutting down, as well as the rest of my body. Breathing is slow, my eyes feel very heavy, it's like my whole face has fallen. I am so weak and every time I lie down, I immediately go to "sleep" but it's not really sleep...it feels like I'm getting ready to go into a coma. This feels really bad and really serious and I feel almost mentally retarded. All I can do is lie in bed and stare out the window. Also, my speech has become very, very slow. I'm forcing myself to eat now. I'm so weak, it's hard to type. What is happening to me? I feel like I will NOT recover from whatever this is.

Omg thought I was the only one experiencing these things! I don't know why this is happening but it is very scary! I'm hopeful that this will pass soon because it is benzo withdrawl for sure. Hang in there! :'( :smitten:

Hang in there you two.

 

Twinkle it will pass, if you're really scared go to the hospital. Know they will probably find nothing. So sorry wish I had some words for you two. Try to think of it as your brain healing even if it doesn't feel like it, its just heading into scary healing territory.

Twinkle I have a very heavy feeling in my eyes when I wake up, so similar.  It is definitely withdrawal.

 

Praying for you and all of us.

Hi Twinkle, if you feel really bad you might want to go to the ER just to be sure. I never had your symptoms personally.

I waited it out and wasn't feeling much better... I have a pulmonology appointment today, so maybe they can help out.

 

I feel pretty sure something is more seriously wrong.

 

I'm seriously on the verge of reinstating...to which I'm assuming I'll have disastrous results.  :'(

Oh nooo! :'( I hope it's nothing serious. Hopefully it's just symptoms of benzo withdrawl. I know mine are, and they are similar to yours. I know this withdrawl is awful but if It were me,  I would not reinstate, I would hold until this passes. You are sooo close to being done! That's exciting! I hope your appointment goes well and that it's nothing more than withdrawl! :smitten:

Thinking about you Twinkle.  I had many times that I thought it was something else (heart, head, ears, throat) and it was all withdrawal.

 

Let us know how you are.

I get this too.  It is really creepy and I don't know what it is.  I hate it.

 

Sometimes I feel what I am doing in life is similar to just swimming underwater, and every so often I come up for air, and really see things for what they are, as if I'm getting a whole new perspective, and then, some invisible force pushes me down again, and I never know when I'll come up again.
