Fro more than a year or two now I have been experiencing an odd feeling at night. I wake up in the middle of the night assuming that the ground is shaking or just very anxious. I also have morbid thoughts about everything that could possibly go wrong in my life at this time. The frequency has reduced but it used to be oddly regular at one point. I left my corporate job to start my own business therefore a lot of uncertainty lay ahead of me. This uncertainty and feeling of working alone on my business can be quite taxing emotionally as it builds stress. I need to find a way to reduce the neverending feeling of tension or stree I feel daily. Pressure from the family to show results with my startup also adds to this.
In addition, recently I was in India when we felt the tremors of the Nepal earthquake on 3 different days. I live in a high rise appartment there which swayed when the tremors began. We had to run down while the building shook everytime. The swaying motion created some sort of disturbance in my head so now I consistently feel like the ground is moving when I am seated or lying down. This odd dizziness also adds to my anxiety as I dont know how to fix it.
I feel for you hole heartedly!!! I wish i could help but i am getting through a spout of anxiery myself. i will be praying for you and i hope all gets better for you.
I feel the not sleeping thing too. my anxiety usually doesent let me sleep.... i just celebrated sleeping for a little less then 8 hours lol. it is getting better for me with all the support i find on here
Thanks it can be quite odd and traumatic to experience both these things. I try exercising to tire myself out so that I sleep properly at night. I also try to eat healthy and focus on work and little milestones to ensure I gain a sense of achievement at the end of the day. That sense of achievemnt overules the anxiety most of the time. We have a bad habit of taking in alot of clutter via social media therefore that could be an area to reduce exposure to. How do you deal with your anxiety issues?
Well it CAN be extremely difficult and it is something that is inevitable because all my mothers side of family have it. It got relllllyyyyyyyy bad for me about a month ago when i did something REALLLYYYYYYY stupid lol. But mainly i talk to my mom about it and she makes me feel better. Also i get on here to vent. when i feel an attack coming on i talk to my mom,watch a movie,or grab a good book and relax. i try to focus on my breathing too
