For the past month I've had constant extreme lightheaded/ off balance feeling 24/7 to the point I am struggling to stand up and walk,I've had these feeling for 2 years it has ruined my life but never so severe for so long,I havnt left the house in a month other than yo take my son to school and it's awful I have to hang on to the other mums,I also hurt everywhere really badly and tonight my head is reall itchy and feels weird,I've had all the normal teats all clear last year,has anyone ever felt like this,could anxiety really do this xxx
Yes absolutely anxiety can cause these problems, anxiety is every bit a physical as well as psychological problem
I know you are keen on therapy,I won't take meds either had my first cbt session today he came to the house as I couldn't get yo him,hoping it will help but only having it every 2 weeks,can anxiety really feel this bad every minute of every day like I say I'm struggling just to stand up x
Anxiety can disable u physically as well as mentally, our breathing patterns change and become habitual without us even noticing. Try keeping ure breathing slow and steady, let the feelings of dizziness pass over u and just remember, its just a feeling, it won't actually hurt u, just give a shrug and let it be there. Easy to say I know, but it will pass in time
Yes anxiety can do anything !!!
I remember when mine was at its worst, I was sat on the side of my bed in the middle of the night probably about 4 in the morning having not yet been to sleep, trying to feel for my heart beat, I knew I was being ridiculous and that it was still beating and that of course I was ok and not dying but still I had to find it, even my doctor smiled !!! Anxiety can make you believe anything and I think it becomes a vicious circle and you talk yourself into feeling like that and sometimes you need something to break that cycle. I was lucky to have a lovely young doctor who said "I think you are depressed and suffering from anxiety" I had anti depressants and i have also at times had CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy ) and have helped me tremendously.
Can anyone relate to this feeling worse today, feeling scared xx
