Feeling Out of Control


21 years ago 0 7 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hello All. I'm new to the forum and am glad to have found a place to voice my feelings and concerns. I have been feeling out of control for over 4 weeks now. I have been feeling severely depressed and have been experiencing every symptom of anxiety under the sun. I have palpitations, changes in breathing, tingles all over, scratching, headaches, fatigue, loss of appetitite, no concentration etc. I have severe anxieties of bad things happening and I worry on a 24/7 basis which is totally immobilizing me. I can't function anymore cos I can't stop worrying and I don't know how to function normal. I feel so removed from the world in my thoughts. Anyone out there who could suggest some things o help? I've been prescribed Effexor but I'm scared to go on it. I'm so out of control.....
