Hi everyone
Lately I started with walking 2 times every day. I’m now on 2 weeks and I keep feeling dizzy all the time. The dizziness gives me anxiety. It’s like I’m all the time deeply inside my head(have no other words for it) and I feel like I’m walking on clouds. It gives me anxiety. It makes me insecure about my mental and physical health. I’m only 20 years old. It feels like I’m losing control sometimes and it feels like I’m fading away.
I’ve been suffering from generalized anxiety for 3 years now and lately I feel depressed too. I was hoping for finally good results, but again there is no improvement. I’ve been thinking maybe there is more with me besides anxiety. I searched for mental health disorders, but couldn’t find anything. I feel so frustrated about myself and my life. I miss so much and I’m sick and tired of it. If even walking doesn’t help me out I’m clueless what I could do. I’ve been sitting at home for 3 years, so no work, school and lost almost all my social life. Even the supermarket is a struggle. I just don’t what to do anymore. I wonder if it could physical? I don’t really have health anxiety, but you know, I just want to be sure what I suffer from. It may be only anxiety, but really, I tried so much and nothing really change. It’s feels like I’m living inside out. Anyway, I’m still going to walk to see if it may takes more time. I’m proud I didn’t skip a single walk and I want to keep it that way.
Can someone please help me out?
Alright, to add on this. I’ve suffered from mental abuse for a long time. I’ve had a badtrip right before everything went bad with magic mushrooms and weed. I feel like I still have symptoms sometimes from it. That inside out feeling I felt on that moment too and I was very anxious.
I did therapy for 2 years, but now I’m waiting for a new one, because the other one gave up on me. I took multiple medicine for some time, but it made my symptoms worse.
And I feel emotionally out of balance. It’s like my whole life is about anxiety and being depressed. I can’t cry, because I feel frozen a lot of times. Very frustrating.
Hi
I can relate to almost everything you said. I’m 19, and also haven’t been in work/education for 3 years due to anxiety. Its really frustrating as nothing seems to get better. Lately, it’s gotten worse and I feel like I’m stuck inside my head and can’t control myself. Just try to be positive and hopefully things will get better soon.
they way you’re feeling sounds like it could be dissociation. I never really felt dissociated until i also had a really bad experience with alcohol & weed - the whole night i felt like i wasnt living in my body, like i was only living in my head and i felt extremely detached from reality. Ever since then (that was years ago) ive suffered from dissociation often - ive even talked to a counselor about these feelings and she said it sounds like i have dissociative identity disorder. Idk if bad trips/experiences can cause these things or what, but this may be what you’re feeling. If it is dissociation brought on by your bad trip, hopefully it’ll fade with time like mine has
Hello,
Just checking into your thread as what I experience sounds very similar. When I am not not happy with my environment (such as being around people too much or at work) I can sense pressure in the head building which makes me feel dizzy / unreal / off-balance. If somebody is talking to me and giving too much information / details I literally cannot bear it and have to walk away. If it is of any re-assurance have had tests etc and all came back clean. I have been prescribed with various meds for anxiety but nothing seems to work for me and the foggy head sensation just will not stop. ‘Walking on clouds’ - yes this an accurate description of what it feels like - at home have no such problem - the fog slowly lifts.
I think that exercise or similar fun activity (like playing with the dog) to relax your mind really helps to reduce this feeling. It doesn’t help in my case that I don’t really like some of the people I am surrounded by during the working day - find them very odd and cannot wait to get back home again away from the office atmosphere.
