Does anyone ever get so anxious/high they hear or see things?

[MadMommaMemoo]

I get in a really anxious state, where my senses feel really heightened. I am aware of every little sound, smell etc.

But I have also started something else. I will walk into a room and jump because I think there is someone in there when there isn't. Or see something out of the corner of my eye and thinks its an animal and it turns out to be a bag in the corner or something. This sounds really loopy I know. I hear things too, like whispering voices, not in my head but from behind me, or from the other room.

I am going to the doctors tomorrow so I am going to speak to him about it but just wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar?

Feel as though I am about to loose it again, worse than ever

I know what you mean about hightened senses, I notice every little smell whne feeling anxious and spend hours cleaning the kitchen convinced it is really greasy. Even though it isn't it sometimes smells it to me when feeling anxious. But can't help with the hearing / seeing bit, sorry.

I always feel like my house is dirty, smelly. Have all the windows open for hours and DH complains because its cold!

I know every now and then I get like that, seeing things out of the corner of your eye etc. I think its just when your anxious you tend to notice every little thing. But if you feel its happening to a worrying level then def go to the docs!

Hey MM,Memoo,

I am not a doctor so still see your doctor and talk about this. These feelings in my experince are some of the symptoms of anxiety. There are probably over a 100 sypmtoms.

Seeing things out of the corner of your eye, and being jumpy (hyper vigilent) is a anxiety/panic symptom, as is the fear of losing your mind.

Th hearing things I would talk to your doctor about. Just to hopefully give you less to worry about- I heard a couple of voices when I was very anxious. It happened a coupld of times then never again.

Living with chronic anxiety is exhausting and it can cause tricks of the eye and mind.

Please try not to worry too much. Do you have someone with you?

Excuse typos- tired
