Hey guys!
I'm pretty new to the forum and I just need to know that I am not crazy, which is my biggest fear. Until 4 months ago, I think I felt pretty good and was fairly normal. Now, I am a basket case and no one can properly diagnose me. It started with me being acutley aware of noises and wanting my husband to verify that he too heard the noise (he did). Then, I started being very aware of what I was thinking and wondering why I was thinking the things I was thinking and doing. Then came the insomina and inablility to eat. I lost 10 pound it about 2 weeks and was physically unable to eat anything but maybe a cracker or 2 a day. I was unable to get out of the bed and could barely make it downstairs to lie on the couch. I was tested for hypothyroidism-negative. My PCP started me on Paxil and after 2 weeks, I was eating again but having panic attacks. Those attacks subsided but I still felt very foggy. My pdoc agreed with the Paxil and I was on it until about a week ago. I am now switching to Zoloft. I am just scared that I will never get better. I'm to the point that I don't know how I feel. I've always been an anxious person but I think it is more that that. Am I bipolar, schizophrenic, what?? I am freaking out. I just want to feel better. I'm only 27 and have been married a little over a year. I feel horrible putting my hsuband thru this. Any insight??
Thanks for listening to me vent. Take care!
