Nighttime anxiety

[Stephanie89]

Whenever I eat late at night I noticed my anxiety flies off the roof I feel like I’m swaying back and forth I get super duper dizzy off balance worse then I do during the die my mind fills with thoughts of me dying and thinking something is terrible wrong I start to panic my body gets really tense I feel really jittery 😖 I feel almost like a floating feeling and my eyes hurt and feel like really weird sensations

I could have written this post about myself. It is unreal just what anxiety and panic can do to our minds and bodies. Seems like we all can describe it perfectly and mostly the same exact symptoms, yet we cannot figure how to rid our bodies of this awful disorder.

I know it is so horrible I hate this so much I know I need to do a little more to help myself by cutting out eating out almost completely and not eating so late but these physical symptoms are so awful I know one day we will not overcome. This

Stephanie,been reading over your post regarding dizziness ect,especially when you overeat at night.I feel similar though not so acutely,my anxiety triggers when something worries me anything and everything,though ive had quite good spells when im virtually free from anxiety /worry overthinking .I have only been aware this year as last year was a right off,as both stress and anxiety overwhelmed me completely and this forum helped ,as well as my saviour DrClaire Weeks shes online.its something that can only be accepted when we ACCEPT those feelings ,hard as it is and If you cant sleep maybe a sedative could help;unfortuneatly,my diazepam habit over 40yrs is now tapered by GP,dont like it but its less disturbing now as it was last year,far from being better though some improvements.hoping you are feeling better and get back to me if you wish.
