    Default I am scared to death of having a disease right now, because of some symptoms

    Right now, I have a feeling of weakness in my legs while standing still, but I can walk normally, balance and I don't fall over at all, being completely stable. But I can't help but feel that my legs are like jello at multiple times during the day, even when I've gotten adequate rest.

    Then, my speech: I still think it sounds off-key and slurred, but all others say it sounds perfectly clear. I asked my therapist to whom I went recently and he told me there's no issues with my speech.

    I really don't know what to do anymore. Should I go to a neurologist now? The previous week, out of my panic, I went to two hospitals, they did blood tests, ECGs and ultrasounds, as I thought it was cardiological, and... Nothing. What else can I do?

    I seriously don't think it's my anxiety anymore...

    Anxiety does weird shit, and fixation can create issues which manifest in the physical. I went through a similar phase a little while back (not necessarily with the legs)..I had a couple of blocked saliva glands that I was convinced was cancer (as well as hyper fixation and just anything that seemed odd and different). I just put it in God’s Hands and I’m much better now, for real.

    Trust me, buddy; this is definitely anxiety. You`re spiraling from one panic attack into the next. The whole deal sounds like mild derealization to me which is really nothing more than a (albeit very uncomfortable and low key scary) defense mechanism of your brain, to avoid overstimulation. I know that sounds like the hardest thing to do right now, but you`ve got to calm down. Tell yourself this will be over soon and cant harm you.

    Are you currently on medication for your anxiety?

    Is it possible you have a conversion disorder which can lead to a realistic perception of physical impairment? Have you received an evaluation from a psychologist since these symptoms began to appear?

    This reminds me a lot of when I was convinced I was going to faint of allergic reactions to random things and it turned out to just be crippling panic attacks from PTSD. I felt a lot of the same symptoms despite my vitals being perfectly fine (except increased heart rate/blood pressure from the anxiety). I know it sucks to hear that something you feel so truly to be a real physical illness is probably in your head, but take it from the nutcase with multiple psychological disorders - sometimes it really is panic convincing you that you're dying.

    Anxiety attacks because you are likely under alot of perceived stress.
    There is medication for it - but nothing exercising along the Greek beaches won't help.
    My brain runs 100 miles per hour during business hours and when I eat I feel like I want to sleep because whats focussed in my head spreads out to my organs to digest food and forgets my head. It's something similar.

    Definition of untrustworthy and loose character are those that don't believe in God.

    Just get an understanding there's no objective reasons for it and if there are, we're all gonna die sooner or later.

    If you are not on medication right now you should slam a few beers, if the feeling subsides it is anxiety.
