Hearing Diminished, Suffer Anxiety, OCD, Panic Disorder, Have Weird Feelings. How To Get Over It ?

Okay this is really hard for me to explain what is wrong or happening but I hope someone out there can help me because I am really scared and feel like I am losing it. I am not shy, nor do I hide in the background so this is really weird. I feel anxious all the time, I feel like I am fading away, if I look at someone or think too deep then I fade out and turn all hot, all over hot and my hearing seems diminished. Writing this puts me in this weird deshavu daze where I just feel so strange and I feel like my brain is skipping or missing. I start to think about something and it pulls me into a trance like state sort of, it's just so weird and scary. I have a lot going on, I lost a job that I loved more then one could no, I have never been fired in my life (I am 47 years old) My husband is in jail for hurting my daughter and I have an extended TPO on him. I have started a new job and I have been taking on more and more responsibilities but I am excited about proving to my new boss just how much of an asset I will become. Although I welcome the job I am fearful I will fail in some way. I keep thinking into a daze and strange thoughts that take me off to other thoughts like being at Disneyland then I get this strange spell like I am fading and losing it. I'm so scared. My insurance doesn't kick in until mid July. I have been diagnosed with Anxiety, OCD, and Panic disorder along with Fibromialgia and surgery induced menopause. I was given medication but was afraid to take it and threw it away. I will panic at the thought of someone driving me to the point I have cancelled up-coming Disneyland trip with my daughter although she will now go with her brother and his girlfriend and young son. I can sike myself out for my up-coming shift of work this coming Sunday I work Sunday-Thursday although I know I will be fine. Why do I do this? I am literally crying right now because I am afraid there is something so wrong with me. I have only had these symptoms for about 2 1/2 months never had before the weird strange daze thing the panic and anxiety I have had but can control it like my OCD I can control it right now I need to know where my keys are and that isn't that bad however if I do get over it then it will be replaced with something else like a few years prior I would under no circumstances get into a elevator real fun when you need floor 33 ;). I am a good person I work with elderly people and I love my job. I really need to feel like I am not going crazy I can't seem to stop the constant deep trance like thoughts that end up in a faded dazed sort of de shavu ish feeling. Please any responses, I really need them. I was recently in the hospital prior to my husband being arrested because I thought I was having a heart attack, turns out i actually have the heart of a 30 year old but my blood pressure was 110/190 so I am now on medication which makes me dizzy and confused so I now take it at night. I have started drinking wine a little more so I can not have the mind freeze, daze feelings that seems to keep me from over thinking or thinking nonsense I mean really some of the thoughts make no sense like looking at someone and wondering how their life is and if they love like I do or keep their kids safe what ever I hate it, it is so scary.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
From the long description i gathered that the dazed feeling and repeated unwanted thoughts is what is troubling you the most currently. You seem to have gone through a lot of stress in your life that can be either causing or maintaining these symptoms. Since these circumstances are such that you cannot change them or revert them, you will have to learn to cope with them. Faulty coping mechanisms can cause many psychological problems. These can be done through psychotherapies.
The dazed feeling or mind going blank is usually seen in depressive disorders. Over thinking and anticipating about something going wrong in the future and worrying excessively about it commonly seen in anxiety disorders. The repetitive unwanted thoughts can be a part of your OCD. Until you treat the underlying disorder these symptoms will remain.
Refusing medications for a problem will not make it go away.
Consult your psychiatrist to relieve your symptoms.
Hope this helps,
Dr A Rao Kavoor
