Hi NG:) Yes hormones do play a role in anxiety for many women. If you did a search within the forums on this, you would find that there are a ton of posts just on this subject...so you are not alone!

As far as the other symptoms are concerned, your brain is probably just on overload from the anxiety that it is experiencing. There are so many individual things that can happen in one's body...the vision, thinking, physical, audio, ect...can all be affected.

When you are having weird symptoms, try to do some slow deep breathing, and repeat a positive and reassuring mantra to yourself. I like to say "I'm okay, it is only fear that is making me feel this way."

Try this, at first it may not make much of a difference, but keep it up! The words that we say to ourselves have power, and the breathing helps to regulate your O2 levels, which can reduce physical symptoms:)

Be well,

Hi NG,

I remember your age. That's a common age for anxiety to start. The hormones start to do strange things to your body. You start getting more responsible and with that comes stress/anxiety. The free spirit of youth sometimes does a huge change and not always for the better. It sounds like you have a lot going on in your personal life for a 16 year old to handle. I hope your home life improves. My advice is, your mother is not your enemy. Give her a chance and let her into your life. Share with her your feelings and help her to understand what you're going through. You have had a lot of medical tests and it sounds like it's narrowed down to anxiety which in the whole picture is probably not a bad deal, you will have to learn to control it. Talk to your mother and let her know you need her to listen to you and support you when you have these feelings. I find that if I can just tell someone what's going on and how I'm feeling helps. I have tried to ignore my down times and the scary feelings of doom but since I don't do that anymore I am doing so much better. Don't spend your young years suffering when you should be having fun like others your age....just don't make bad choices.
