Anxiety

[ryanactive23]

The last couple days have been tough, I have felt ill, but is it the anxiety? Apart from a couple of physical bits I can name I cant quite figure out how much head is feeling , cloudy, dizzy, theres a lot of pressure, has anyone else felt like this? I've had it for a few years on and off now, this time seems longer, and I'm struggling 😔 can never get help or answers from doctors, I was on the train, it was busy and I felt like I wanted to pass out, it was like there was a pressure i couldn't control, can anyone share experiences, advice for me please

Hi ryan, I have had that many times in the past. For me it was anxiety as wellas dehydration. Our body needs water in order to function properly. Sometimes

that cloudy head feeling comes from our breathing being irregular. Making sure

our shoulders and neck are in a proper position helps as well.

When we are tense, our shoulders tend to creep up to our ears also causing

disruption of the lymphatic fluid to the head.

I am not a doctor just someone who has suffered as you are.

Please see your physician for proper diagnosis. xx

Are you on meds?

How's your diet and exercise regimen?

[ryanactive23 in reply to Rick1on1]

I'm not on any meds for anxiety and my diet is okay not bad, exercise isnt great something I'm working on, as I already walk around a lot for work

[Rick1on1 in reply to ryanactive23]

You should have a doctor check if you need meds - there could be something wrong.

It's great that you walk a lot - research has shown that if your consider all that walking as exercise and not work..then you actually get the mental boost as if you were exercising.

Hope this helps?

Thank you for sharing. I can relate to how anxiety can affect us physically. I get chills and my heart races. I feel this horrible feeling I can't describe when I am struggling with the anxiety and depression episode. I was doing really well for a while but then something chemically and emotionally happened to cause me to spiral again. I recently listened to this tool (bit.ly/3J0apFC) to help with avoiding and anxiety attack. It helped me see that when I am anxious my inner child doesn't feel safe, then I have to look into why? I am learning not to be judgmental but curious when I feel anxious and see what I am thinking and how I am coping when I am well, to avoid an episode again. Do you have a therapist? Therapy is important to healing from anxiety. You will be in my prayers and if you need someone to talk to please feel fee to contact me. Hugs and God Bless

Yes it's weird isnt it, you feel unwell but sometimes you cant explain the exact feeling and I've been feeling that a lot recently! I will have to have a look! I've had a therapist through an nhs programme before it didnt really help and I could never afford a private one, so a lot of my help is on sites like this listening to peoples experiences and adapting myself, I hope you are okay!
