Please call a doctor. You could be having a medical problem like hyper thyroid or something else.

I'm sorry you are feeling this way, and over the past 2 months, I am too. Isn't it HORRIBLE having to work every day feeling like you're losing your mind? And even small things like taking a shower I have to FORCE myself to do.

Me too. I hate taking a shower... I have no idea why. Making it through everyday is a big accomplishment. I have felt this way for 4 mo. Do you wonder if you are going to be this way forever? May God help us.

Yes-may God help each and everyone of us on here who are struggling. To answer your question-I don't see an end in sight. For whatever reason ,nothing is helping me now, and it's been a few months. I pray that I can continue to work. It gets harder and harder to first get up so early, and then to work for the rest of the day.😔

Well I've suffered 12 years since my 2nd son was born. But tbh it dissappeared for 3 years and hit me again last year but alot worse

I’m sorry. That sounds awful. I had hyper thyroid issues and what you described sounded so much like how I felt at the time. I thought I was going crazy.

I wish I knew what to tell you to try. Sometimes ice pack on my neck or side of my face can get my heart rate down and stop a panic attack.

Hang in there. We are here for you.

Sodown in reply to mollykay70

Well I actually thought I was like that last year and I ended up in hospital as tbh I could never stay still etc always of balance but that's my fear so I hate my life like this no rest at all from it x

Hi Sodown, It seems like you followed up with your doctor as well as having tests

done. Since I use to feel the same way at one time, I would describe it as severe

anxiety. Like you, I couldn't stay still whether I was standing or even sitting. When I sat, my

body without any provocation, jerk forward. It was embarrassing when people were around. When I was standing I would feel as if the floor were caving in. When standing in

line at the store, I was constantly having to move my legs like I was riding a bike to use up

that extra adrenaline surging in me.

You put that free floating anxiety together along with an over-sensitized nervous system and you don't have to wonder why you are not able to stay still.

I will say that because we aren't doctors and you did mention vertigo, it is always in your best interest to have your ears checked by an ENT. Sometimes crystals can form in the ear throwing off your balance.

Although I highly think this is more anxiety based since it sounds exactly what I went through. Did you know Sodown that when we are overwhelmed with anxiety, that it

clamps down the muscles throughout our body giving us all these terrible sensations.

Muscles even down the ear canal squeeze tight and can cause that off balanced feeling.

Don't give up. I'm glad that you reached out to us once again. Let us now what the ear

doctor says about your vertigo. Good Luck dear :) xx

Hi Sodown, maybe go to a different doctor for a second opinion. Therapist will help but maybe a psycharist doctor would be the key. Mine has helped me a lot. Stay in touch and God Bless you.

I have felt that sick before. It is caused by fear. Fear causes torment. One thing that calmed me down was playing calming instrumental music with harps/flutes, I found it online on youtube. I used to feel disconnected from everyone especially God. I found it to be a lie. We all are children of God and never separated from Him and his love. Meditation is a must. I am not reccomending organized religion either. Been there done that. All I found there was more fear and judgement. I will be praying for you on your spiritual journey. Don't give up hope, if I can find some relief from the hell you are experiencing, you can too! Hugs!🙏💞

What kinds of things are you reading or watching on tv or movies? You shouldn't be putting anything into your mind that is "dark" or fearful. You have to guard your mind from evil influences.

Nothing a don't watch tele tbh. I like to read magazines on true stories like take a break etc x

Not very clear.

Sodown in reply to Tara52

I can't watch tele

Tara52 profile image
Tara52 in reply to Sodown

That's good. When I was going thru my time of mental torture I had to stop watching the tv all together. Also no reading material that was negative, that would include "True Crime" stories. Have you gotten on YouTube and researched anything on meditation? Prayer is important too. You need Divine belp!🙏💗🙋
