Have you ever felt a sudden weird overwhelming feeling? The kind of feeling that are unexplainable and can be very frightening and distressing? I have! Allow me to share this story with you.
Once when I was in the midst of a conversation with a friend, out of a sudden I felt dizzy and cool sensations on the left part of my body.
I was shocked as the feeling was so overwhelming that I felt I was about to fall off from my chair and faint.
Fortunately I managed to control myself and get on with my conversations, although the weird feelings was still lingering in me.
Ever since that day I felt very restless and confused.
I was very worried and depressed as I thought that I have some illness in me or that something bad has happened to me.
That night while sleeping, I was awoken in the middle of the night when my heart beats rapidly and my chest tightened.
I was sweating profusely at the same time.
I looked in the mirror but what I saw was an unfamiliar face! (derealization symptoms) These symptoms added up to my fear and worries.
I thought some unknown forces are causing these conditions to me! My days goes by with many frightening and intrusive thoughts.
My self-confidence dwindled and I felt very low.
So I decided to do some research on the internet about the symptoms that I am experiencing.
During my researches, I came up with many possibilities as to what has happened to me, but none seems to fit what I really felt.
Finally after quite sometime slogging away on the internet looking for solutions, I met with the real answers to my questions.
My researched shows that all those frightening and weird feelings and sensations are actually symptoms of anxiety disorder.
A term that is unknown to me before.
Although at that time I was not even fully recovered yet, I still felt relieved.
At least I understand now that anxiety disorder is harmless and is treatable.
I have to admit that by understanding everything about this symptoms, has helped me a lot in my battle against them.
Trust me, you will feel much better if you know who your enemy is and what is actually bothering you.
Now I am fully recovered from all the symptoms and would like to share my experience with anyone who are looking for the answers to their condition.
At the same time, I am also very sad knowing that so many anxiety disorder sufferers around the world are being misdiagnosed by their doctors and psychologist.
These inexperienced doctors and psychologist often categorized anxiety disorder symptoms as depression or mental illness.
This is so unfortunate as the fact is anxiety is not an illness, not mental or physical.
Anxiety disorder is a behavioral condition and there are huge differences between behavioral conditions and mental illness.
My advise to you is, if you have experienced most of the symptoms that I have stated above, you could possibly be having anxiety disorder symptoms.
Irecommend that you stay cool but at the same time make the effort to read and learn everything about this condition.
This is a vital step to take so that you can avoid being misdiagnosed by your doctors or psychologist and actually get the right treatment for your condition as soon as possible.
