i was diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder in February. my symptoms (physically) have improved greatly. i took buspar for 4 months. most of my anxiety attacks have gone, i've been eating normal for the most part, and sleeping a little better. i had quit taking my medicine because i could never remember it, and it always made me dizzy to the point that i felt sick. it never really helped with the emotional effects of my anxiety, though. i'm a hypochondriac. i've been terrified of having a brain tumor or some sort of terrible disease for months now. ive had two blood tests in the past few months, all of which came back fine. at night, i've also noticed, when i finally fall asleep, i wake up thinking i completely stopped breathing, but i didn't. it is not sleep apnea. i do not actually stop breathing. and i feel like i'm shaking terribly. but if you look at me i'm not. sometimes i look at the wall or something and it looks like there's weird designs on it. is this anxiety?
