What are the symptoms of anxiety?

What are symptoms of psychosis if you suffer from depressiona dn anxiety? when do you know to go to the er?

• because i will feel really distressed and irrational and than i will feel good enough that i dont think i need to go to the er, but then feel distressed again and the cycle continues. what are the signs so if i notice them i will not try to rationalize them. and so that it wont be too late before i get help. i had an anxiety attack, and during it i felt desperate like i wouldnt intentionally hurt myself or anyone else, but since i was scared and desperate that would drive me to be irrational and put someone or myself in danger. i also felt somewhat violent, not intending to do anything but feeling like if anyone got to close or if someone upset me, even with just a look, thati knew meant nothing i may get angry with them. now i didnt have to go out of my way to hold back, but i felt violent and i felt like if the person got close enough no matter what the issue i would be easily upset. i had shaking, and nausea. but this is unusual for me, i ahve anxiety but never an axiety attack ,i had a panic attack years before, and this anxiety attack was sprurred by almost getting killed in a car accident. i ddint get hit, but only by the grace of God. for weeks i have been having severe racing thoughts and last night i could go to bed because of them. i have thought of going to an emergency room, but will they take me seruously? i have no insurance and if they decide to check me in but not to anyt follow up then its a waste of time, because problems dont go away, and my anxiety makes problems unnessarily worse. what should i do? i am still nervous and shaky, but not as much. ht accident didnt scare me, its the anxiety and how it takes over that scares me. it always comes when i cant get help. 3 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer.

• Answer:

  If you have no health insurance nor the means to pay for a mental evaluation or therapy to relieve your anxiety and depression, then you may need to go to an ER at a local hospital which cannot turn patients away, no matter their ability to pay. They may provide you some temporary relief through a short cycle medication regimen or they could commit you for seventy two hours through the auspices of the Baker Act. However, I would be reluctant to go that route. Instead, you could choose to attempt to mollify your symptoms through some self help methods. For one thing, if it is possible, you could attempt to completely remove yourself from your current environment for a few weeks. Just getting away and having time to think through the problem may allow you to construct a plan for alleviating some of the symptoms and also grasp the primary source for the dysfunctional thought processes. And, you could embrace the notion of living completely in the present, rather than spending most of your brain cycles lamenting the past and fearing the future. In addition, you could choose to relegate those thoughts about the auto accident to the background of your consciousness by understanding that you don't need to act upon those thoughts in any manner other than being aware of them. That awareness will tend to alleviate any need to obsess about the incident.
