hi ,I've been really struggling with my severe depression and severe anxeity and social anxeity ,been off work for quite a while now ,I'm having tactile hallucinations and also olfactory hallucinations ,I feel like I am going crazy ,but saw a specialist the other day and all this he said was normal with severe depression and severe anxeity ,its lucky I said about a foul smell in my nose before I left ,it was making me feel sick all day and night ,this is what they call the olfactory hallucinations ,so not only have I got the seeing things and feeling things touch me and hearing voices this is very normal ,but I did say even though you said I'm not going crazy and he was trying to reassure me ,I really feel like I am ,it's so horrible and disturbing ,you can't sleep for the rest of the night, you are exhausted the next day because I would get it sometimes twice in a night ,your head goes into more of a spin when it happens .I went shopping wirh my husband last Sunday I'm usually fine but that day I just needed to get out of there ,I went hot sweaty, clammy ,pulse going 100mph ,it was scary ,the specialist said it was a panic attack ,I love shopping ,walking around seeing what I could find on a bargain and sniffing the candles but even my husband said I've never seen want to get out of here so fast .I awake every morning with the major shakes ,I just wish I could be back to my normal self, but it seems she has disappeared now for a while and it looks like a long road to getting me back to her or finding a new me .I must admit this is very scary to me and yes it does disturb me and I can't stop any of this happening. I am on medications but I've had alot of changes so I'm hoping now we have the right one but it will take at least a month to get into my system properly,so been told I'm not in no state to be going back to work yet ,I take promethazine 25mg to help calm my shaking but it does make you drowsy so can't really drive or go out when I feel like that .I feel numb, empty, no emotions .it's so horrible to feel this way .also I feel like I'm putting so much pressure on my husband too and it's not his fault .
