Hey everyone. For the last 6 months I’ve had severe anxiety all focused on my health. 

Recently I’ve had some symptoms that I can only describe as weird. They’re freaking me out! 

First symptom is mishearing. I feel like I’m constantly struggling or taking a long time to understand what people have said, or just mishearing sounds of words such as mistaking a G sound for a D sound. 

Second Symptom I’m misreading a lot too. My brain just throws the word ‘That’ into a sentence when it says ‘What’ or I skip/misread words as similar ones. When I look back of course I realise I’ve read it wrong 

Third and Last one! When I’m half in and out of sleep each morning my thoughts are all jumbled. My brain (internal monologue) will put together words and sentences that don’t make sense. As I’m in and out of sleep
I instantly pick up on this and get very anxious the minute I wake up 

Until recently I’ve been jumbling my words and slurring my speech. Once I calmed down and stopped worrying about it then it stopped 


Being a hypochondriac I’ve of course googled these symptoms and terrified myself into thinking I have aphasia due to dementia or something. I’m only 27 and know that sounds ridiculous but I’m just freaking out. 

Can anyone relate? Or does anyone know if anxiety can cause these problems? Even just support would be great right now because I’m so stressed!
