Whoops didn't mean to post that to myself :P

I've had symptoms of anxiety and depression for years but a lot these ones have come on suddenly in the past few months, I think because of recent family problems and the fact I'm unemployed right now and feeling stressed :/

• Constantly waking up with panic attacks (shaking, nausea, heart palpitations, weird migrainey visions, dizziness, sense of unreality/feeling disconnected with everything, sweaty/clammy, feel unable to move because I might throw up, sometimes head pressure and achey pains) at night/in the morning, really unpleasant.
• Unable/scared to go to sleep because of said panic attacks, sleep used to be a relaxing escape for me but now I dread it.
• Symptoms made worse by by lack of sleep (the cycle of crap, everyone!)
• Always panicky, feeling like I'm gonna cry, nauseous, shaky, dizzy and off-balance etc.
• Never really feel like eating because of nausea, often feel nauseous when I do eat.
• Head feels pressured and "full", comes and goes always in different parts of the head, feels better when I massage the area but it comes back. Deep breaths also make it better and it's never there when I'm outside, also scalp sometimes feels sensitive and bruised if I press it. This one has only emerged in the last few weeks and I hate it, it's not even painful but it's a really unpleasant feeling.
• Racing thoughts
• Constant fear that I have a serious disease/am going to die that won't go away.
• Depression
• Fear of being left alone- I used to love being alone with my thoughts but now just hang around my mum when she's home, scared that something bad will happen to me when I'm home alone and no one will be able to help- always keep my phone charged up just in case.
• Don't like/see the point of leaving the house, don't really like staying home too much either.
• Don't like things I used to enjoy anywhere near as much as I did back in the day, stuff feels dull and uninteresting.
• Hopelessness about the future/no interest in life but huge fear of death.
• Feel tearful/lump in my throat but rarely able to actually cry- sometimes I feel like it'd help.
• Feel disconnected and dream-like, nothing seems quite real.
• Feel unworthy.
• Unable to relax anymore.
• Self-hatred.
• Afraid of everything.
• Not really excited by anything anymore.
• Feeling generally ill and not myself at all.
• Had bad labyrinthitis last year where I couldn't move my head for days without throwing up, room was spinning etc. Fear of getting it back especially when I'm alone and there's no one to help because I would be literally helpless until someone found me. A lot of the symptoms I've been having are similar to what I had before but milder.
• Hate being unemployed but feel I would be unable to do a job properly because I feel like a an anxious, exhausted bucket of crap.

Yeah, should probably go see a doctor with all this crap but in a delightful twist of events I am also terrified of doctors/any medical stuff/tests/test results. Isn't life just super? But I will need to muster up the courage if this keeps on because it's driving me crazy just recently, I don't feel like I can do anything and I don't feel like myself at all :/. Reading through this has been pretty reassuring though, I'm glad I'm not alone.

I have been feeling off for about 6 weeks and it started off with off balance, lack of co-ordination and then I developed flashing lights,zig zags,drips in my peripheral vision, objects around me and on the to moving. The doctor diagnosed me with severe health anxiety. He increased my citalopram from 20 to 30mg and now I am experiencing blurred vision on and off, been to the opticians 4 times, everything fine. Went up to a and e about the headaches and they took my bloods and did a ct scan, all normal, now I have to retrain my brain to understand there is nothing sinister but very hard.

For over a month after doing a cleanse/ diet tea. I started to experience; heart palpation, dizzyness, lightheaded, tremors, tingling in hands and feet, numbness in body, shaking inside plus vibration, uncomfortable breathing and lump in throat, low sex drive, sometimes feeling like I will faint, sleeping problems, no energy, vitamin d is low, potassium was low, pressure in head, ringing in ears, when I close my eyes I can literally feel
My heart beat throughout my entire body, when I get really tired and sleepy I close my eyes but I can't sleep Because I have this weird feeling of pressure in my head and body and when I open my eyes it's like I'm lethargic or drugged up. Sometimes i feel  weekness in both legs or wake up and legs are numb, my menstrual cycle changed.. My GP and endo did a lot of blood work and everything came back fine. But I think they are missing something. I've never been this sick before or suffer from anxiety. I have such a wonderful life always did I am not the type of person to be or get stressed. I'm so worried sometimes is wrong with me and the doctors are not catching it. I want to get a few test done to please my mind but it's so hard to talk to these army doctors. I want to get; Adrinal gland test, candida , magnesium, and Lyme... Some of these symptoms are not constant they come and go. But what's constant  is the vibration in body, uncomfortable breathing, light headed, heart palpitations, dizzyness  and leg Weakness. I've seen a cardiologist and they did an endocardium also have a holter monitor for 30 days but I think everything is okay with my heart because with the holter monitor if they catch any abnormal beat they would've call contacted me already. I don't knew what else to do but I'll be seeing a neurologists in s week or so to see what they can do to help me. I would love any advice I can get from you guys, I am really scared something is wrong. I  forgot what's it's like to feel normal and crazy ole me. Even though I'm so sick everyday I still don't stress about it because I know it will make me feel worst. I know its not anxiety. Any help from you guys will be great.

Do you get the burning skin every day ? Is it constant?

I have had that for a while now, it seems to come and go, but when its cold outside I feel much better, but inside, I usually have that feeling. Everyone else is freezing and I feel burning hot, but not to touch, just how I feel. Have you asked your doctor about this symptom?

I have:

*burning skin, head to toe.  Like a sunburn
*heartburn
*make mental checks of symptoms (what's hurting now...etc)
*headaches
*bursts of tears
*starting to fear going on trips (something bad will happen)
*fear of a disease doctors are missing (even had a brain MRI)
*horrible case of the "what if"s          
*I don't accept change well at all (mostly things I have planned)
*feel overwhelmed at the slightest bit of new responsibility.  
*occasional panic attacks: heart pounding, sweating, chest tightness, jittery, feeling like a caged animal, wanting to scream or run..which leads to a burst of tears and finally, exhaustion..can't keep my eyes open.  No particular trigger for them either.  I hate when they happen in a public place.
