[cb360]

I have posted about my problem on different areas, i have been told by many people its anxiety, And have a few questions?

1: Can Anxiety Be triggerd by something i am not aware of?
2: Can Anxiety be constant alot of the time?
3: Can Anxiety cause you to think about wierd things

Example: I think about the world being like a fast rollercoster and and also random things going fast, i know its not true but it feels it almost.
Also being abit anxious of random songs

I would like to know the answers for these question, thank you

DP stands for Depersonalization and DR Derealization, see below link for description:

Callum, sorry you didn't get more answers at your appointment, but remember that it will take time and patience and several if not many appointments to make sense of all that is going on.  Hang in there Callum. I am thinking of you.

hi what is DP or DR?
I get so scared o fhte thoughts as they seem almost real

What your explaining sounds likes DP and DR associated with panic. Your mind dissociates due to the panic and you feel many very weird things. Some people describe it as feeling like a tiny piece of billions of pieces, others that the world is in fast motion, still others, that they are not real and everyone else is a cartoon.

First and foremost if these are new symptoms and you do not have a life history of panic / anxiety or a family history, get checked out.

Anxiety has subconscious triggers, that you have planted but are not aware of. For instance if you had a PA on the highway at a certain location, you may find that every-time you are in that area, or one that looks similar you have a PA or get anxious. This is because your evolutionary mind has built in flight to avoid a dangerous place. Very useful for tigers, not so much for exit 51.

Hi i went to the doctors today and spoke to her about it, we disscussed many things and she gave me some options, she said it was unusual but she is doing blood test on me next week just to make sure it isnt linked to anything, If i turn out ok with the test she is then refering me back to a Mental Health center, mainly counsiling and saying he has gone past the talking stages of the treatment, She cant perscribe me Anxiety Medication as i am 16 and only a professional can although my dad said he doesnt want me to have Medication because it makes it worse

I am a bit upset with still no direct diagnosis

Yes thank you wolftrack, i hope so two these past few days have just been bad for me and upsetting and i just want to get to the bottom of it, sorry if it seems like i am going on, my mum thinks it could be linked to blood preasure?

that is good that there is no one in your family with a history of mental illness... but do express all these concerns with the doctor on Monday.  It may take a few visits for the doctor to diagnose.  Do keep us posted and best of wishes.  Hope you can a better picture of what is going on and find some ways to manage this.
