feeling like im going crazy, lightheadedness, chills, cant s

So about 3-4 weeks ago, I felt like I was going crazy and I couldn't sleep. Then it started to die down for the next week or so and I started feeling better. Then about a week ago, I woke up at like 7 a.m. and I couldn't fall asleep. Ever since that day, I've had trouble falling asleep and I felt like I was losing my sanity. For the past couple days, its been hard for me to concentrate at school and I feel lightheaded. It's still pretty hard for me to go to sleep and I get chills, even though the heat is on. I also have a sensitivity to light and it feels like theres something in my throat. Also, for the past 3-4 days ive gotten really homesick, im getting feelings of wanting to go home.

I don't know if this is related but around early march, i had feelings like there was something in my throat and i woke up feeling like i couldnt breathe. I thought this was due to my allergies or something, but it didnt clear up for a while. I also had rashes a couple times during this time. I don't know if its severe anxiety or what because I was going through finals when i started to break out in rashes and got the feelings in my throat. THe symptoms that i am currently experiencing feel like it is anxiety (from what i have read over the internet), but i was reading a site and it listed similar symptoms to that of a brain tumor. Its really startin to freak me out. Can someone please explain?

Hi,
I didn't get your first name when reading the post online. I read your concerns regarding ...going crazy..lightheadedness, chills, not falling asleep. I have experienced these same symptoms many times...over the last few years. Yes years. I truly know and understand what you are describing. Fear not though...I believe it is Anxiety but maybe not by itself. There could also be need of a tweek with your thyroid. Just because a blood test comes back saying the thyroid is in the "normal" range, doesn't mean that's how you best function. Anyway, I literally would feel like I was crazy, like what if I go crazy and hurt someone, or jump out of the car I'm driving..etc. I would get chills out of nowhere...not sick...not cold. OMG....the throat thing...not easy describing that one to people huh? It is what people refer to as a "frog in the throat". It comes from worry, and fear. I know...you don't feel like you are purposely worrying, or are afraid. But the simple fact that you mentioned you read about brain tumors...tells me that yes, you do worry. And now it's about your health, that is more than likely good...except for these anxiety attacks. Now you will freak yourself out reading health concerns online. And, oh yeah...they could all be diseases you have because you are experiencing some of the stuff they mention. Stop....don't read that stuff. Stress and lonliness and uncertainty is all it takes to start a cycle of anxiety. And anxiety can be treated. You can't sleep because you're thinking too much, not to mention waiting for some unpredictable thing to happen. Please feel free to write me back if you are so inclined. I want to help ease your worry. gigi

hi lilknriceburner i have the exactily the same thing its horrabel i am a realy bad panicer i panic about alsorts i shearch about every thing cos i worrie that i have it the only thing that makes it realy bad is death thta makes it realy bad but i try to deal with it but some times i cant and brack down erm and te slightest thing i get wrong with me i thing its ealy bad like i think im gunner stop breathing i some times feel like i have a brain tumor but it is not im at the docters all the time pluse my 2 misscarriges did not help me i know what you both are going though im only 19 no fun going though this at all i feel like it is puting my relationship in jeperdy cos i am always saying i feel like this and that i dont feellike he is happy i have been though so much stuff in the past 10 months i always worrie

I was doing a google search when I came across these messeges. I am not sure if I have the same thing with anxiousness and all. But, I was diagnosed with insomnia last year and have no idea what to make of all this. I could be anxious but have tried many things to calm myself and honestly don't think I'm worrying or being anxious . However, does it explain my ..allergic symptoms? My throat and mouth burn and I feel really odd, things just keep getting worse. I am only 16, I don't think there could be too much wrong with me. I feel really sick to my stomach sometimes, really nauseated (especially after I eat to rid the possibly hungry burn and abdominal cramping). Could this all be anxiety?

being anxious can cause sleep problems. anxiety is caused by stress. also, you may be having panic attacks. these basically make you feel exactly like you have described. like you are going crazy, you get chills, and feel like you cant breathe. panic attacks can come out of nowhere and anxiety attacks are built up by stress.

i have be the same way hard for me to sleep, lightheaded, headaches, and ringing in my ears I also feel like I'm going crazy loosing control for my life trying to keep a smile on my face and not show any hurt that I;m going throw . crying all the time with out any reason feeling withdrawal from everyone

[shock: OMG. i thought that i was like the only one in the world that felt this way. the waking up not being able to breathe the feeling that i am literally losing my mind and im going to end up in some mental hospital somewhere. i feel a little better now that i know for sure that there are others with the same problems. i too am one that searches for every single new symptom that appears and iv found that doing that only makes things worse because then whatever pops up i feel that i might have it. i have been trying xanex for a while it seems to calm me down pretty fast when im having an anxiety attack. as far as the no interest in anything, pulling away from everyone emotionally and socially, i have that too. iv been told that its depression and that its treatable. the treatments i had for the depression didnt work. i have tried 2 different antidepressants and they both just made everything ten times worse than they were before. so i think im done trying the antidepressants, im just going to find myself somebody that i can trust to talk to about everything and try to beat this on my own. if any of you have the same things and just feel like you want to talk about something feel free to reply. im not a doctor or anything but iv been dealing with the same things that you are and maybe i can help. my name is nikki by the way. ]

hello, my name is Katie
i'v been feeling like this for years.
it all started 3-4 years ago because of a drug abuse.
one day when i was driving home i started having a panic attack and after that day my life was never the same.
For two years i felt like i was having a heart attack i would start drinking alot to kill that feeling and thoughts..... 2 in a hlaf years later when i stopped going out quit smoking everything went away, i felt great and happy untill one day huge stress came in to my life and it started all over again... i am fighting it right now and the only thing that helps me is praying and my believe in God.
I'm slowly trying to feel better and i know doctors wont help you can fight it in your self!
start eating healthy,exercise and also no matter what happenes dont stress!
