Has anyone had a shift where your mindstate seems to change. I'm terrified

4 or 5 days ago I started getting worse, I'm 7.5 months off. I dunno if it was something I took. (Black seed oil, quercitin?) But the normal brain fog and pressure in my head is gone. I feel more in my body now and it's making everything harder cause now I can't just zone out and kinda ignore everything . There is this racing feeling in my brain too. I'm also waking up at night now in a sweat . Constant panic and pain .  I swear it's just as bad as acute if not worse. It's going on 5 days of this now.

 

I want the racing feeling to leave my brain. I feel like that's what is causing all my mental issues. My inability to focus, my altered reality. I'm so terrified but calm at the same time. I dunno if I can go on like this.

So sorry you're struggling so much!! This is a wave and it will pass for you, YOU know this!! You have done such an awesome job.

 

You give me hope even though I am barely hanging on to my sanity right now.

I was sleeping ok, now not so much. I woke up at 3am this morning so i only got like 3 hours of sleep. It alternates between horrible anxiety, or mind altering brain fog.

So your sleep settled into a good pattern and you were sleeping all night or most of the night but now it has changed ? What changed it?(@@@@).

yes i was sleeping everynight 8 hours.

 

I don't know what i did different. I was taking lots of probiotics past couple weeks, tried a some black seed oil 1 time i doubt that did it.

 

Whatever it did sent me into this weird new symptom state, maybe a wave? i dont know. I hope it goes back to how it was.

Have you always slept like this? I notice the symptoms tend to come in waves and last for days then go away only to come again later on. I have trouble sleeping but I had this when I was on the benzodiazepine. I have been getting some sleep but I really need to find the right combination of things to help me. I hope you recover your sleep pattern. (@@@@).

Not before benzos no, after my cold turkey my sleep was bad, 2 hours a night, around 4-5 months off i started sleeping almost 8 hours a night, maybe waking once.

 

last night i slept all night except waking once at 4am for about 20 minutes, i ate an apple and some yogurt/peanut butter and was apple to  fall back asleep.
