I have thoughts (at the same time weird feelings in my head and body) that enter my mind and i can't help it. I mean if your listening to what i am saying i am saying that i do not know where they comef rom i have never seen anything like it. I can only describe it as psycho. I feel that iam holding on to the very little sanity ihave left.
Is this normal. I just fel outta control.. I mean literally i have felt that i need to tie myself up or something for fear i can't control myself andi don;t want to hurt myself or have my mind completely take over and this sounds f---ing crazy!! Never mind. I just want you to know that i use to be a normal person and in April is when my "anxiety" started. My doctors say i have anxiety.. I think it is more than that. Does anyone here have debilitating anxiety.. That is what my doctor says i could have. I guess it is the worse kind of anxiety. Help me out,
I just want to knwo if anyone has felt this way or basically want to know the most extreme cases of anxiety that is on this site. thanks. pass tis info to friends on here that might not have seen this thread. I could use all the imput i can get.

Yes, I believe I have been there. In my case, I think it was a combination of some biochemical stuff with some PTSD (traumatic) material. When the feelings are really intense, it's tough, but hang in there. At other times, when it's less intense, you might sometimes be able to get some insight as to what's going on. I never got around to trying EMDR for this sort of thing, but if it happened again to me, I probably would.Good luck.

I can understand how you feel. I've been there.
I was always an anxious person -- even remember being anxious back in 1st grade. But when I hit 40 the anxiety became unbearable. Similar to what you are describing. I was scared, embarassed, and I suffered for awhile before asking for help. Are you getting help? What medications did your doctor prescribed? There is help for you and you are most certainly not alone.By the way, Amy, you are a normal person. I really believe that people who suffer from General Anxiety Disorder are born with too little serotonin. We become hypersensitive due to no fault of our own. I've been put on EFFEXOR XR with great success. I can take deep breaths which to some people wouldn't be a big deal, but I can take a huge, relaxing deep breath. I can enjoy life again. It is great. Hang in there.
Annie S.

>I experienced intense anxiety where nothing seemed real. In fact the feelings of unreality were very overwhelming. It was as if I saw my world thru a window. Everyone I knew was on the otherside of that window and they were all functioning normal - the way I used to function too. Try as hard as I could to be apart of their world I couldn't - the world that I used to function and participate in. I also had thoughts that I was being abducted by UFO's and that these creatures were watching me. I felt very Psycho and was afraid to tell anyone of these thoughts. I felt they were not My Thoughts. I struggled for a long time, but with help of anti anxiety meds and intense therapy I got better. Now I suffer from depression.
The scary thing was that when I went thru that I really felt crazy and wanted to just crawl out of my body.
I hope you find peace. Perhaps alittle comfort in that you are not abnornal - at least in my book. Take care! Hope my experience may help you!

Seriously too much of this stuff can give you an upset stomach. Perhaps it is something in your diet? If it doesn't clear up in a few days I would check with a doctor just to be on the safe side.
Juvenile hall? Is this a detention centre for children? How old are you?
Print your post out, if you don't have a printer go to a local library they should, and bring it to someone outside your family. If you're still in school a counsellor there or any staff member you feel comfortable enough to do it. If not perhaps your lawyer or a doctor in an emergency room if you can't think of anyone else.
As for your grandmother she sounds like a very angry person. I would try and not engage her in any arguements or such, doesn't sound like she's open to any discussion.
If someone provides YOU assistance to get help and it means leaving the house do not worry about your mom she'll be happy knowing you are safe.
PS I think having a girlfriend is the last of your worries right now!
GOOD LUCK

One thing that helped me was that I went to a vocational school while I was in high school, I learned machining skills there so after I was done with high school I could get a decent job. The reason I say that is because it sounds to me like you need to start being independent soon, you need to find a good job, get your own apartment, and get your life in order as soon as possible. I think you may be under too much stress right now. I dont think you need to worry about girls right now, having a girlfriend is just more problems and time and money you have to spend, you need to focus on getting your life straight first, and then go on dates with girls. I am a young guy myself, 19 years old, and I have many problems myself, I can relate to what you are going through, I have been there and I can imagine how you feel right now. I am guessing your still in high school so why dont you go to the guidance department in your school and ask if you can go to vocational training school for half of your school day. Because you might need some skills so you can get a good job after you finish high school. I hope things get better for you soon, you can email me if you want, my email address is on my name.
