Like do many people out there, I keep having symptoms, go to the doctor, just went to the er, again, and everthing comes back good, wich I understand is good, GREAT EVEN, but I'm still having dizziness, wich fuels my anxiety. Wich just builds and builds, tell myself over and over, its ok...

But day after day, week after week, it just wears a person down, and I just feel like all my friends and family are tired of hearing it, and still no help with any of the medications that they have tried, ...

Just feel horrible, and scared all the time.

And dizzy Is the icing on the cake...

Thanks to anyone who listen to my rant..

Hi Timmy, it does wear a person down. Who wouldn't get exhausted fighting the same

battle day after day. However, what if we weren't to fight? What if we allowed those

feelings to come over us and not give a fig? This is how anxiety plays it's game with us.

It taunts us until we are under it's control. This entity is nothing but a lie, a bully at that

who likes seeing us quiver and bow down to it's every whim.

No longer allow this to go on? How? By Accepting this as not harmful. Stand up to it,

not by fighting or giving in but by acceptance. Once you realize it is but a game, you

will win. Who wants to play with someone who doesn't listen or participate with them?

Certainly not anxiety. Have you watched the video on YouTube by Dr. Claire Weekes?

"Hope & Help for Your Nerves". She relays her course of action in simple everyday words.

She is convincing enough that it works. And if you are willing to give it a try, I think you will

be more than surprised in how powerful the mind can be. Stay positive my friend :) xx

Wow, that's a powerful statement, and it is definitely true for me! As a child I always thought that if things got this bad, I would just kill myself. As an adult I realize it's not that easy.

I have to get up every day and fight, not for my life, but for the quality of my life! Thanks too for the YouTube video suggestion. Can't wait to hear it!

It's a never ending circle otherwise isn't it?

You get anxious you tense up with fear, you get more symptoms. You get scared, you get despondent, you are fear the next time... round and round.

I have only learnt over time (5 years now) that nothing bad ever happened, no matter how terrifying my symptoms, and it has enabled me to calm down, I m not completely out of the woods yet, and I'm not sure I ever will be as I am that kind of anxious personality... But so much better, and able to go out again.

I haven't been silly I have had a lot of tests to rule out things. And Claire book have helped along the way.

Thank you for reminding us Agora ❤️

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this🦋🌻I think the advice from agora1 is very good & also gr8 that you’re posting here and if it could help at all sometimes it has helped me personally when I make sure I get proper vitamins and nutrients in my diet as well sometimes stomach issues or food allergies other things can cause flare up in anxiety as well- I’ve learned about b vitamins being 1 of the top things ppl get deficient or low in and can contribute to anxiety & depression as well! Sometimes for me just the right combo healthy foods can make a big difference and also some exercise like walking in nature or nice park & writing or talking out feelings! I hope best to you- keep posting& take good care🌞🌝

Thank you for taking the time to reply, it's like I know in my head what I need to do, but I cant get anything to go that direction. I honestly try to keep my mind on other things, and keep as busy as I can. But its tuff, I cant get past the dizziness, cant focus or hardly do anything. But I will keep trying.

Yes, Yes we have to look for strength, and find it wherever we can! Nutrition and exercise are two of our most powerful Allies in this battle. Along of course with a community of people who understand and care... Like you find right here!

And we do grow stronger in the process, especially if we keep a record of our success.

When I get down I don't remember the good times,or my progress in battling my Monsters, So I have to keep a record on my phone.

Are you like that?

I always wonder how many other people are the same way.

Lets hope our Health System and Medical Fraternity will soon find Medicines and Cure for this kind of Debilitating Mental Flus soon. Lets keep talking about it so that it will reach some one who can try finding a cure

Absolutely! Maybe some day...

When my anxiety reaches it's boiling point level, I get really dizzy and I felt I am about to faint. Racing heart that feels like I am going to have a heart attack.

So I try my best to calm myself and breathe deeply. Whenever I feel my anxiety coming on, i try to vent out my emotions. That helps us a lot. :)

I've had dizziness too. Mine were caused by migraine associated vertigo. And I think I got migraine from stress and anxiety because I never got them before.

Neurologist prescribed cymbalta, and amatriptalyn. They seemed to have helped, but I still feel the weird dizziness occasionally, but it's manageable.
