This is my first time here on the site.
I think I struggle with anxiety on a daily.
I feel panicky, hot, I think I’m gonna faint, and I do my best to justify how I feel. Sometimes I like around and tell myself who might be able to help me if something is wrong. I get overwhelmed, I get flustered, and sometimes dizzy.
When I get home 99% of the time it goes away… I wish I could just feel normal again without the fear of having these side effects
Well first and foremost welcome to our wonderful community. I experience similar feelings when I’m out and about but I also deal with it when I’m at home you are not alone. Have you talked to doctors or a therapist maybe they could give you some coping skills. It does sound a lot like anxiety to me. If you keep experiencing the same feelings over and over maybe you can start telling yourself okay I’ve felt like this before and nothing bad has happened I am going to be okay and these feelings will pass. It is easier said then done but with a lot of practice it may help but a lot of time when we’re panicky and such sometimes it’s hard to stop the irrational thoughts
Hi,
Thank you so much for a warm welcome!
Just reading that someone else has similar side effects make me think I will be able to cope with them.
I have seen my general doctor- she has prescribed Fluoxetine and Losartan for BP.
I changed insurances so I have to wait 30days before I can see my regular doctor…
I doing my best to remind myself it’s a head game…. Do some breathing exercises and use a mint to help me.
I just wish this all went away.
I so hear you Blue...have you seen your physician to check out any physical issues promptingthese feelings?? I can tell you it does sound like the fears of anxiety have taken over your
thoughts. We think that we have to know that we'll be saved by someone if the symptoms
get too overwhelming. Little do we know that the control can come from within. Anxiety
starts with a thought that goes array and then produces bodily symptoms.
You aren't imagining that when you get home your symptoms seem to lessen or go away
completely. (your home is your safety zone) Finding out what is causing this thought
of you not being in control during the day can help you address the situation. There are
many methods/tools that therapists use besides meds and talk therapy.
You can and you will in time feel normal again. Believe in that.
I'm happy to Welcome you to this amazing caring site. You just took your first step
forward. 
xx
Thank you so much for the kind words. This is all new to me. I hate how it can just hit me whenever. I have talked to my general doctor and looking into a therapy.
I pray that I will be able to overcome this without medication.
The great people on this forum will give you some ideas in how to overcomeanxiety by sharing their own experiences. Including myself who went through
the same thing you did and now live an amazing life once again..
Never give up. We will take the steps forward with you. You are not alone xx
Welcome aboard. 🙏. ...glad you're here.
Welcome aboard and I hope you're doing well. This sounds a lot like or similar to agoraphobia though you may not recognize it. This is usually from being outside what our mind sees as our "safe space". Usually you might be more aware of it if you know your defined spaces (what's safe and what isn't). I'm not a doctor or anything....so just sort of taking a stab at what's bothering you. I've had the same issues where the moment I'm at home or a safe space....everything just goes away.
Everyone of the symptoms you listed is under anxiety (it has hundreds which amazed me when I saw) and I experience the same. You aren't alone in that and none of this is abnormal. Just your brain's reaction to keeping you safe via the old fight or flight methods.
The good news is Agora nailed just about everything out of the park as far as what to do. See a doctor (psychiatrist or even a GP...I think a GP could even handle this) and I would highly recommend talk therapy because I can see where there could be a cure. Whether it's finding out the root as to why you feel the way you do out and about versus home....or even using exposure therapy to become comfortable in uncomfortable situations and places. A therapist or counselor will have the best answer and also a plan that you can feel comfortable with.
Regardless, I know the feeling of wanting to feel normal again. I think you can find that with a good treatment plan. In the meantime, if it takes a bit to see either of the professionals, I recommend trying some mindfulness and meditational apps/videos on YouTube. They have so many types (body scans, anxiety SOS for immediate breathing exercises, and general breathing techniques) that benefit everyone. Wishing you the best going forward!
Welcome!
I hate dizziness, it can be innocuous and caused by a million things but it makes you worry what's REALLY wrong!? As a person who has often sabotaged their own progress by fearing fear itself, I would encourage you to try to face your anxiety and say to yourself "oh it's just this, oh well", like rationalizing it if that works(?)
I'm glad you found this community, there are a lot of helpful people here!
Good evening,Welcome!
How is your eating habits? Do you eat three meals a day? How much water do you drink every day? How much time do you get outside every day? (You should get outside at least an hour every day.) Have you thought about getting a hobby- going for a walk, biking, going to the gym...? How about volunteering at a nursing home or homeless shelter...?
I will be praying for you!
...Welcome. ...wish you the best.
