Thank you for the greetings BSS and TS.
As for symptoms, these pretty much describe me: depression (I have it non-stop), hyper-vigilance, catastrophizing (to some degree), low self-esteem, perfectionism, etc.
There are those things but I find I'm having very odd physical symptoms that I haven't been able to figure out (doctors either). Some of the symptoms I've had seem to be similar to panic attacks/anxiety attacks I guess but the weird thing is, I don't feel panicked or filled with anxiety at the time. Sometimes I am stressed and have some anxiety and that causes this for sure but there are other times when it seems to come out on it's own for no reason (that I can think of at the moment it is happening).
My head starts to feel "funny" - sometimes I feel light-headed, other times I feel like it weighs 500 lbs and I can't keep it up. Sometimes it feels like my brain is "fizzy". I've had times where I've had to hold on to a wall or table because I felt like I'd go crashing to the floor in an instant because all my energy vanishes from my body. There have been times where I almost did go crashing to the floor. I've had times where it feels like my body is "deflating" as if I were some big balloon.
As it is now, just visiting this sight and anything else with C-PTSD information seems to be setting me off somehow. It's really weird.
I've had blood work, it's fine. I've had my sugars checked and such - all fine. Heart checked, okay as well. So I'm not sure what is going on here. I'm just desperate for answers.
