I have a constant muzzy head,racing thoughts and unrealistic ideas.

I feel for you i have the same thing i have noticed that since i have such bad vision i was paranoid b/c i thought my eyes were taking over my mond ,but it was me, ALL ME!therapy helps me a lot i am not on any meds i have been trying to focus on other things positive things in my life not the negative i go thru the day knowing GOD will help me if i panic or feel anxious even in the car i turn the music off and pray so i am focused on myself not things around me. i recently went on a cruise and paniced with all the people and the ocean and was thinking about titanic i was flipping out when we had to do the drill with everyone on one deck omg!terrible feeling but i had to stay calm for my daughter and family!i often just wonder off too and my heart races,i get really paranoid too but i have to focus and tell myself i can deal with this and i am ok! It is hard but therapy and talking out all your feelings or even writing how you feel at that moment down helps a lot! i dont depend on any mental meds b/c i beleive you control your mind,your mind does not control you! i am 25 and pretty overwhelmed with my life i had very low self-esteem as a young child teenager,my parents are in the middle of a divorce, my husbands borther just got shot and killed 3 weeks ago ,my great-grandma just passed,my 5 year old daughter needs all my time all day,and i myself have no time to do anything i enjoy!but i make that time even if its taking a hot bath and while im in th ebath i use lavendar everything!!!!i read or pray or even write and tell myself my days and nights are ok nad i am positive i will NOT HAVE ANXIETY ANYMORE!!!sORRY THIS WAS SO LONG but i hope that helps but i do understand EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL

I'm 25 as well and i have the same problem....i have a son...i was diagnosed with Panic Disorder and General Anxiery Disorder....it is terrible...and it seams we all have a common pattern...like low self-esteem, unstable childhood etc...i also have a lot of physical symptoms such as irregular hearbeats, dizziness, weak legs and hands, sharp head pains, neck pains etc etc,,,,i've gone to various doctors and done various tests and they all say it is in your head....anyone feels the same?

yes,its anxiety its hard to deal with,but you have to tell yourself okay i am not any different then anyone who does not have anxiety!!! I,MYSELF am a paranoid/panicky/talkative person therapy and just talking to people calm me down.its all in your mind low-self esteem and an overwhelmed mind can do that to a person try not to worry and deal with it by playing with your son or reading to him or focusing on your positive in your life when i have an anxiety attack i have to keep telling myself im ok im ok im ok i am fine its all in my mind GOD get me thru this now!! enjoy your life to the fullest LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WORRY!!
