Not here today

Hi all.

Me again. Sorry but if I don't talk on here I will go mad and I don't want to keep burdening the hubby with my anxieties.

I've had a strange day today. I was in Tesco this morning and as I was going round I felt as if i wasn't there. If you get my meaning. I felt a bit panicky then because of it. Maybe it was to do with the fact that it was busier than usual! But I'm thinking more like peri symptoms. Does any one else get this? Also does anyone feel that tense with things that their jaw is so tight that you feel as if you are sucking all the air out of your mouth (tongue stuck to the roof of mouth).

I maybe asking silly questions but it is so frustrating. I want to feel relaxed and never do.

Thanks all.

Helen.

This describes me to a T daily I'm 52 now and wonder how much longer I will be persecuted for being a female lol

Yes. I have this permanently. And I really want it to stop. Not sure but I think it can be caused by the anxiety... or maybe a deficiency of something. Just fopund out I am calcium & B12 deficient, just waiting for more results before any treatment xxxx

Oh me too!  This is what I've been to my GP about THREE times now as it's just the most horrible thing.  I feel spaced out most of the time and I can't link it to anything in particular, certainly not my cycle.  I think they believe it is anxiety, but I do not.  It came on suddenly out of nowhere when I was on holiday 7 months ago and hasn't gone away.  I do sympathise, it's horrendous.  But I do feel relieved that it's not just me! Big hugs to you xx

Hi Helen, I'm like that all the time and I sympathise. I feel spaced out and wobbly a lot and feel like you can't walk in a straight line, it's a horrible feeling, seem to get it more when I go anywhere, you are certainly not alone as I have found out - this site has really reassured me of my symptoms seems like there are hundreds of us poor souls suffering horrible things, bless you xx

Thanks all for your replys. It seems as if this is quite common then.

I feel for all of you that are having to go through this time. I was eating my tea half an hour ago and I couldn't relax. Then the adrenaline started and I thought I was going to have a panic attack! It did subside because I know that it is just adrenaline. My teeth are wearing down from all the tension and my cheeks in my mouth are sore from them being rubbed against my back teeth.

I have taken myself off for a bath hoping that I will relax! I don't think I rel ax even when I'm asleep!

Big hugs to you all.

Helen.xx

Hi helen yea i get it quite a lot and when it first happenz u get a bit panicky i feel spaced out n when i try to talk it feels like my tongue is too big for mouth n i cant talk and if i do it cums out not makin sense x

Hi Helen. Yes me too. I have such a tight neck and jaw it's ridiculous. It won't relax and is so painful. The tightness makes me feel dizzy and lightheaded .x

hi Helen. 100% it's peri symptoms. When I first started with these symptoms it was that bad I couldn't even stay in the shops as my anxiety was that bad. Once I began to understand what was happening it was a lot easier to cope. Don't get me wrong I'm not fully anxiety free but I've learnt to deal with the symptoms.xx

i had this in pere. i find some of the lights in the big stores make me go funny too,

Try say to yourself that you are fine, i no its hard but if you train your brain into thinking of something else it does work after awhile. you have to say to yourself i dont want to feel like this,and i have to stop because i will get worse,try to think of something that makes you happy xxx

Hi all.

Thanks for all your replys.

I really appreciate your comments and hope that you all find relief from these awful peri symptoms. I'm so glad to have found this forum and lovely people willing to take time out to encourage others. Thank you.

Helen. x

Hi again, just to make you laugh.....went to the cinema tonight with a friend.  Felt so spaced out just walking from the car to the cinema, that I didn't see a huge puddle and walked right into it.  After the cinema, went to the loo and got a huge ream of loo roll stuck to my shoe and of course, was obliviously trailing it around without realising.  Both much to the amusement of passers by....... Doh.......!😳x

I can completely empathise with you Helen I ead posts on here and its only because of other people saying what their symptoms are that i'm not checking myself in in a mental institution xxx

15

Yes I'm the same Poppy. I feel,as if I'm constantly seeking answers and am always thinking of my health.

Not a good day today. I didn't sleep well and my stomach feels as if it's doing somersaults with anxiety.

Hugs.

Helen.

hi gill, i cant stay in shops long as i get anxiety and feel i have to get out and like helen i often have spaced out feeling like when someones talking to me and i feel i'm not there or looking back at myself (very strange) i too have learnt to cope with them better these days but some episodes still scare me. xx

17

ye! Horrible feeling.😟 I feel really strange first thing in a morning as if I'm on a different planet.xx

18

I feel horribly spaced out most of the time .  Don't know what is causing it...waiting for MRI results 😢x

19

Hi Gill. I feel worse in the morning too. My panic attacks and fear I have something really wrong with me are always worse before about mid-morning.

Hi Helen OMG! I've had the exact same symptoms. I was in the grocery store and I felt like I wasn't there....in a complete fog and couldn't' think straight. It was a bit scary to say the least! I also experience the tense muscles like I can't relax. I started taking 100mg of B6 everyday and it has helped tremendously. That fogginess is gone and so are the tense muscles. Give it a try!
