Anxiety is insane!!!!

I was detained under the mental health act for basically being autistic but the mental health team didn't get that so decided to detain me a few years ago.

Now my anxiety is crazy!!!

Constant headaches, tension I think, throbbing all around my head especially the forehead and back of my head. Hurts if I touch it. If I sit and rest it feels better. If I go out, it is dreadful and then accompanied by unsteadiness which feels like I'm actually drunk. Also get tingling and buzzes through my head and face, randomly dancing about me.

What gets me is how it's anxiety???? 

How can anxiety make all of this happen?!?

Weirdly I don't feel especially anxious but I think the sectioning affected me so badly it's just got me on a sub conscious level now and this is my life/future.

Sometimes I consider suicide but then I tell myself off for that. I just don't know if I can spend the rest of my life like this.

I'm thinking about making a Dr's appointment and giving meds a try but I also worry in case they diagnose me with a brain tumour as I'm aware though it is probably anxiety kicking me about it could be something more sinister. A Dr did check my face and head for obvious signs of brain issues but my reflections and movements were fine.

  • I have done a few things to sort through anxiety in my life.

    1. I've now found several medical papers that suggest autistic and ADHD anxiety can be caused by low GABA-Gamma ratio. I've been taking a mushroom compound to boost GABA. Most NT can apparently stop a looping thought or aren't driven to resolve an issue with the same intensity we experience. 

    2. Situational anxiety from a lack of resolution can create a low-grade stress, which left unsorted will turn into anxiety. For instance, not knowing an LED is causing a strain on the eyes or an ongoing unpleasant sound is being sense-perceived at a level we're just not consciously processing will cause this background 'noise' inducing stress. Learning to contain one's environment, even craft our home surroundings to be more human-friendly or consistent with our needs will fix this.

    3. Toxic relationships. I would like to suggest that humans aren't necessarily toxics but the dynamic of two individuals can become detrimental to both parties. Some people are very cruel, selfish or just in survival mode and hurting others unintentionally because that's all they know. Either way, as difficult as separation anxiety can be, once enough distance is between, the anxiety will subside.

    I did have to go through a great deal of heartbreak, recalibrations, addressing and fixing my own perspectives and picking the worst of two evils to get to a place where anxiety lessened. I had to do a good deal of character growth to find much less anxiety. However, the Money can be one of the greatest complications: the demand outweighing ability, the overload of far more work than reward, these will cause anxiety. The only thing for this and for the first issue (such as a melodic loop that won't stop at 4 am) is anti-anxiety medication. Not SSRI's NOT anti-depressants. I don't recommend these drugs but in small doses on rare occasion. But they do come in clutch as they're designed to boost GABA.
