For a while now i've been having this constant feeling of disconnect. i've been told countless times by family members that im fine but i'm struggling to believe them. I'm having it really bad right now as I type this. Of course I had to go online & google stuff and i've basically convinced myself that I haves brain aneurysm or s tumor of one other neurological thing. They have been putting this off for a ft but it's gotten really bad, so bad to the point i can barely get out of bed. I have th disconnected feeling even when i'm laying down i don't understand. I'm scheduled to go to the Neurologist at 10:20 but im scared i won't make it. The constant dizziness type stuff makes me worry immensely because i have health axiety. I've been having some of the worst panic attacks i've ever had because of this. can anyone help me

Payton,

I see this is your first post. Welcome to the forum.

Your family simply wants what is best for you and they want to believe and want you to believe there is nothing wrong. While a lot of this kind of stuff is in our head, there's nothing wrong with checking it out.

Dr. Google is always bad, but we have all done it. Do what you can to avoid it.

I'm not sure what coast you're on, but the clock says 10:24 here. If you're on the east coast, I hope you made it. If not, maybe you can take a cab or Uber there. Perhaps you can call ahead and arrange a nurse to have a wheelchair waiting for you out front to where you can be wheeled in or perhaps the driver can assist you. Just some thoughts.

Best wishes.

Hi Payton...and yes, welcome! :)

I am sorry to read of your symptoms and the worry they are causing you.

It sounds like you may be experiencing derealization/depersonalization. ..a fairly common issue among anxiety sufferers.

Even if you have had different challenges in the past. ..a new experience can manifest itself without warning...as the anxiety will try different tactics to get our attention!

We do have information about this specific issue in our Resources at the top of the main forum page here. If you have time before your appointment to check it out, it may put your mind at ease.

Let us know how your visit with the neuro goes. ..and come post with us anytime for anxiety sharing and support!

Talk soon,

Scaredy Cat

Hi

First of all welcome to the forum but sorry to hear of your current symptoms.

It does sound like you are dealing with derealization/depersonalization which as SC mentioned is common with high anxiety.

I would do all you can to reduce your anxiety and see if that improves things we have some good links in our resources section so take a look and try your best not to google your symptoms and leave the diagnosing to your doctor.

Keep us posted.

Hi Payton
Welcome to this forum , with members who have suffered with every symptom anxiety throws at you.

And its much safer than Google... Something I no longer do for the very reasons you mention.... Dr google combined with my health anxiety was the worst thing I could have done..

Our time difference in the UK, tells me you have already had your appointment.. I really hope they had some answers and you get some respite from the suffering.

p!ease let us know the outcome ..... Good luck sending you strength and encouragement 😊

Hi Payton,

I will extend my welcome as well! You've found a very safe place to talk with others who have experienced things that are similar.

In my experience, it sounds like depersonalization/derealization.

Let us know how your appointment goes, and know we are here in support!

Hi Payton,

Dizziness has been a "friend" of mine off and on for years. I definitely think it's caused by anxiety in my case. I think if you had anything more serious it would manifest in additional ways than just dizziness. Good that you're seeing the doctor to make sure!

Hang in there! :)
