I WAS DIAGNOSED IN 1998 WITH THIS when I was 19. IT'S BEEN 6 YEARS ALREADY GOING ON 26! I AM GETTING SICKER & SICKER. OUT OF ALL OF THESE YEARS I FINALLY SAW A NEUROLIGIST. He performed a test on me where I was told to stand up straight, close my eyes and place both of my feet together & My body involuntarily fell to the bed. From what I explained to him & from his observations I had "alot more then just panic disorder" I was and still am convinced I have multiple scerosis. IT HAS TO BE MORE THEN THIS S**T So I got 2 Brain MRIS,an EEG and various bloodwork-EVERYTHING JUST FINE!! He diagnosed me as having fibromyalgia or even a early case of arthritis.
I fit almost all of the symptoms for PD & agoraphobia, not quite all for fibromyaglia but the thing that bothers me the most is I cannot for the freaking life of me stand up straight without feeling
lighheaded, off balance, I am always feeling like I'm sinking into the ground, floating. CONSTANTLY!!!! And CHRONIC MUSCLE TENSION. Especially in the head and chest(right now feels like it's going to explode. My body does not know how to relax. I can't even laugh without feeling stiff all over. My mind races 1,000,0000 thougts per minute alot, I have horrible concentration, even with my new therapist(Now it's PTSD as well which I agree with)
I am sick & tired of feeling this way & watching the world & everybody become more sucesful and happier then me. I am not happy where I am at in life to say the least.
& Did I mention I never had a car in my life & basically don't even know how to drive and posess absolutely any sense of directions.
Yeah I really see a future for myself. It's been nothing but misery, pain shattered hopes & dreams and as far as relationshipwise NOTHING. I still talk to my old friends almost everyday but that's it for now.
& I went and am currently getting SSDI/SSI for it. Yeah the works. I HAD SO MUCH PRIDE AND WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON WHEN I WAS WORKING & would love to again but I literally CANNOT in this frame of mind that I've been in, besides I HATE living on the system but I initially went on it to get help, and all I have gotten is ridiculously worse. It's embaressing & shameful. I even saw comments I posted on another forum from way back in that year (1998) when
