Off balance

[Stephanie89]

I hate this dizziness off balance I been delaying with this for over a year and some days are worse than other i May have a couple times out the month that I don’t feel this way does anybody struggle with this issue? This is what causes my anxiety to get really panic and turn into panic because it feel like I’m swaying and like I’m going to fall over 😖 my dr said to try my mess again and see if it helps but the insomnia was insane with cymbalta but maybe I should try again just want this to stop

All I can say it that you are not alone. I've tried all older meds and some of the newer meds. I don't know what to do anymore. I have decades of therapy behind me and one of the last ones said, "I think you've had enough therapy." I spent the last week in bed, hoping my heart would stop. It didn't. Now, I feel like last week will just start repeating itself in the morning. I don't know that I can keep coping, but I hope that you can

I am glad you have your kids; sometimes even if you're just holding on for another, that is helpful to not feel so alone. I truly hope that this horrible feeling lessens for you.

Yes me to and I avoid to do anything but stay in bed it’s the only place i feel safe and like if I die at least I die here for no one to see the world I guess I just hope I get my life back I am thinking of trying my meds again cymbalta de said it might lessen these symptoms but I know we both will get through this it’s just the will power to keep going that gets rough and u aren’t alone either

I stayed in bed most of last week. This is the longest I've been awake in the past 7 days. If you think Cymbalta might help, I would say to stay on it for at least four weeks to see if it helps stabilize you/ help stabilize you. Also, to try to eat nutritiously. And keep talking to people.

Me to I don’t want to do anything cuz of this horrible feeling I actually need to do laundary and go to grocery store and I really don’t want to go 😖😭 but going to try it again I only did for 3 days but insomnia was horrible so I think I might start tomorrow morning but he said cut it to a 5mg cuz I have 30mg and see how it goes

The last time I was on an antidepressant, I started out very low dosage and never got to the "therapeutic" dosage. It did help get me through the very very rough time (Kind of wish I hadn't thrown it away because I don't have the patience, energy, or money to repeat the time consuming process of seeing the psychiatrist (and then therapist even though the psychiatrist said I didn't need to see the therapist.. but it's about profits!) again). For tasks, I do the Mel Robbins 5-4-3-2-1 thing to get things done. 5 second rule. That might help you too. Somehow we need to hijack our brains back to some normalcy/routine/whatever you want to call it.

Yes I tried already 4 different ones but only within 1 week or a couple days didn’t like it made me feel so I stopped in hoping I can. Eat this myself and wirh therapy eating better and cutting out caffeine and sugars (not natural) I’m going to try that I actually was doing that 54321.. but i stopped I’m going to have to again my therapist is helping me but I honestly think it’s my situation and me being so unhappy here that’s causing me to spiral down

I can understand that. I am thinking of moving cities myself. Although I've been saying that for years and have yet to make the move. I'm going to check out another city next month and see what it's like. Do the 5-4-3-2-1 thing again. Just do it. It may not change anything, however, you'll be getting things done and won't have those circular thoughts about doing those things / not doing those things. I know how draining that can be.

[Stephanie89 in reply to Hidden]

Yes I am from California but I am moving back to Texas and I can’t wait I loved the city I use to live in and to mend mine and my husbands marriage

But I definitely will try that technique and see if if helps me I’m willing to try anything that will help me
