Comment on Do I have extreme anxiety?

The headaches? No idea. Never had paranoia either.
But I just managed to get treatment for a crippling anxiety disorder, I spent 6 months pacing or crying into the corner
Your description sounds a lot like how I was before my family realized how bad on a way I was. It sounds like major anxiety disorder plus plus
It could also be a brain tumor or something else to. And it can’t wait too long
You need to get help, get your people, tell them you’re not ok, and let them help you. Call all of em. Scream it out that you ain’t ok
I am in distress. There’s nothing undignified about it. Let those who care about you pick up the call. Let strangers pick up the call
Keep screaming. I am not ok! I require assistance!
All else fails, go to the ER, they have to help you. But do the rest first, everyone has some kind of people. In a way I’m of your people, so I answered, best I can, how to call it out better

Ok I know you are trying to help at all and chronic headaches can occasionally point to something bad about this.
But there is a funny sort of humor that comes from telling an incredibly anxious person that they might have a brain tumor lol.
I really mean no disrespect!

You think it hasn’t crossed their mind already? The urgency is the point. They need to tell others they are in distress
You can’t just be left in that state, it gets worse and worse. And if it’s a brain tumor, which could cause many of those symptoms, speed is survival.
I get what you’re saying, but sometimes “it could be a brain tumor” is the brain worm that makes you push through when your family initially dismisses your symptoms
