Not sure what my anxiety comes from

Postby optimizeRu » Wed May 12, 2010 12:03 am

I just got kicked out of military service misdiagnosed by Psychotic disorder with sympts of schizophrenia, but its not what matters . Before this happening, I was in depression I could'nt get out of for a long time . Recently ( around 2 months ), I began to experience strange anxiety, sometimes extremely severe, I never knew why and I still don't know and I can't find the right reasons .

Many things can trigger it, but there are things that I can't find reasons for . I someimtes get anxious for no reason ( At least can't find one ) . Situations like : I'm on the phone with someone, who I don't really listen to, and I hear the wind out of the window, and at the same time I try to read something in Internet, and I find my self having this severe anxiety, while trying to tell myself "everything is okay, Why are you like this ?!?", I never was like that before, I could always find reasons for stressful and anxious situations .

Something I'm more worried about . Recently I've some wierd ticks in my head, and it occurs together with some wierd feeling in chest, kind of a pain which I feel when I get anxious . The thing that cause me to 'tick' is kind of electric flow between my chest and my head . I don't know how to describe it well since english isn't my 1st language :) and I'm also very bad when it comes to explanations about such things .

My next meeting with a psychiatrist is only Two and a half weeks from now . I'm really worried about the strange ticks, it seems like it's neurological problem right ? but why I feel this pain in the chest when it occurs ?
I don't know what causes those ticks, because they're not 24/7

I don't know if it happened to many, as I read about disorders I often endup with self-thinking " wow I might really have this disorder " . then I read another article about some other disorder which I might have lol ^_^ am I fine ? it happens to you guys too ? now that I think of it, I know I don't have all those disorders, but I often endup thinking that I might have . lol .

In your last paragraph, you remind me of many others here who have become 'lost' in the world of mental illnesses. They don't know what is wrong with them, and therefore they look at different disorders trying to self-diagnose. However, mental disorders are not distinct from each other, and they overlap a lot. So, if you read about different ones, you will ALWAYS find a few that can apply to you. I always say this: The mental disorder you have is the one that describes you best. For example, I have 100% of the symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome, but only ~90% of the ones for Schizoid PD. therefore, it is Asperger's Syndrome that I have.

Prepare yourself for your next appointment by writing out your symptoms. This will help both you and your doctor.

... ...and don't ever overdose on your Risperdal.

I personally cannot do it without medication, or I guess I should say that I have tried 3 times to go off my medication and it failed each time. I went to a doctor and she put me on vitamins and minerals etc and i was fine for a few months and then it all fell apart on me. I went back on my medication and i am feeling well again. No daily anxiety and no feelings of panic. Just calm and relaxed. I really wanted to do it without meds but i have accepted the fact that i need them.

Be well soon

what Med are you taking. Also does it make you not feeling anything?
