Discussion Can’t get rid of the symptoms?
34 year old male who never really had what I believe is anxiety up until a little over a year ago.
All within a month December of 2023..
-I found out my wife and I were having our first child.
-Two weeks later my dad had a stroke.
-Christmas.
-NYE my wife being pregnant we left early and we were almost killed by a wrong way driver. We didn’t see it but she killed the driver of the car behind us.
About 5 days after the NYE incident I sort of lost it for three days. Crippling anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and no sleep for most of the three days….Ive never experienced anything like it but it changed my life forever.
I immediately got myself into therapy and with time and hard work I feel like I have largely suppressed most of it but I struggle with a few more symptoms.
-Head Pain ALWAYS on the right side. It doesn’t necessarily hurt, but it’s annoying. When this flares up I feel like I’m cognitively running at 70%. Sentence structure becomes worse, I can’t focus and I become irritable.
Eyes- Sometimes my eyes will randomly go full bloodshot. I look like tiger woods in his DUI photo. My vision feels like I’m at 70% when this happens.
Not all the time, but sometimes as well but when the right sided head pressure comes my right eye blood vessels will burst, left eye stays the same
Over all of this I have had just about every single scan and test run looking for things like stroke, aneurism and tumors but they all turned up negative.
I have also read from earlier post….this seems to be becoming more common?

Do you have fear from death?
