i know i have posted a lot recently but i just need some reasurrance,
my head feels heavy i feel dizzy and zoned out. i dont feel right at all. i keep getting told its anxiety as all the tests are normal. i am really scared i feel like i am going to pass out it is stopping me from doing everything
so Sarah I had the same thing starting in my 20s. Plus many more symptoms of anxiety. I’m now in my 50s and doing well.
I had to make a choice. Either allow anxiety and its symptoms to run my life and leave me feeling miserable or take charge.
its all in the mental attitude that a person has.
When I felt sorry for myself and got upset about symptoms I was allowing the anxiety to dominate me as i shrank myself into a ball of fear.that went on for years and I basically lost all those years of my life to anxiety and feeling absolutely horrific.
FINALLY I had enough! I actually got angry about it and was determined to get this under control. I wasn’t going to let anxiety and fear ruin my life. we only get one shot at life so why let it go down the drain?
i got some counseling which helped. I started exercising with or without symptoms.
I started doing yoga which built up my core strength and yes with or without symptoms.
you can do some breathing exercises found on YouTube that would help with the dizziness.
I got out a journal book and every day would write down how I was feeling mentally and physically. then wrote down my goals.
i found some great motivational talks on YouTube! Basically, they say to get tough with yourself and stick to a structured day.
I may still get an occasional symptom here or there when I’m a little anxious, but I basically ignore it because I know what is causing it and it’s not harmful. and it goes away.
The more you pay attention to your symptoms the worse they get. The main thing is to focus on getting better and getting those resources that you need. start with counseling because there are most likely some underlying issues that is causing your anxiety.
you are going to be OK. Take one day at a time
