I think I might be dead.

Remember that these fearful fixations are just your brain "searching" for something to be afraid of. Your body is responding as if there's a threat (adrenaline pumping, heart accelerated), but there IS no real threat, so your mind has to try and reconcile your physical reactions with what it's perceiving via your senses. So your brain picks a minor physical sensation, like a stomach cramp, and just blows it completely out of proportion so that you're hyper-aware of it, making it feel ten times more painful than it actually is. Part of dealing with hypochondria (which I've had) is that your brain jumps from one physical ailment to another; am I having a heart attack? is my throat closing up? do I have cancer? None of those things were ever actually happening to me, but my MIND said they were an immediate threat.

How did the talk go with the psychiatrist? I'm glad you have another appointment soon.

Hmm. That's interesting and it sounds like a good explanation for some of the feelings I've been having.

The talk with the phsyciatrist went well.

How are you feeling today, ssamoh?

Better than yesterday

Yeah- it definitely wasn't your appendix. You'd know. For future reference, if it was your appendix the pain would start around your belly button and then migrate to your right lower quadrant. If you were to push down in that area- when released- the abdominal wall would give off a very painful/tender response. You'd come right off the table and try to smack the HCP who touched you. It's called rebound tenderness. You'd also have nausea, vomiting, and a low grade fever. (Just covered this in my pathophysiology class today.)

Good to know. Thanks

Keep us updated, ok?

I hope they are just hallucinations. I keep telling myself that.

Thanks for praying for me.

sometimes people's equilibrium gets off. I wouldn't worry too much but it wouldn't hurt to see a medical doctor also.

Similarly, people get panic attacks with real symptoms.

You might be spirit warping into the future.

I will.

I think people reading this should know I don't logically think I'm dead I just don't feel right and the best way to describe it is to say I feel dead. I also feel really separated from God for some reason, which makes a huge difference obviously.

I had some tests done and the doctors didn't find anything. It's kind of weird that I'm having all these symptoms and they didn't find anything, but I'm glad I'm okay.

Also I remember someone suggesting I keep track of the strange things that happen to me. So I'm adding some updates.

I understand, and I've felt the same way when I've been under anxiety or panic attacks. It's hard to describe to people who've never experienced it.

It's also a good thing, though, because it helps you pinpoint what might be going on. And you don't have to worry that something is seriously wrong with your health Yay!

You're supposed to see your psychiatrist again in a week or so, right? Make sure you take the journal of everything you're experiencing, that is valuable information.

I feel really bad about the tags that people added to that thread. :/

 

[Inkachu]

I noticed the tags, too. And they're stupid. Ignore them.

I'm glad someone agrees with me about the tags. Thanks.

It does sound like you're having some kind of psychosis. I hope you feel better soon! I have had weird perceptions before.
