Feel like I'm swaying

[JLou]

I'm out with my family for a meal and I literally feel like I'm swaying on my chair. I know I'm not, but in my head I am. It feels really wishy washy! My legs feel really weak. And I've got a slight headache. It's horrible! I don't know what to do. How is this anxiety? I literally feel drunk!

Are u on medication which could maybe make u feel like this till u get used to it?

[JLou in reply to Alice61]

I have started a very mild dose only on 10mg (would be a week tomorrow I've been on them)

But this started before I started taking the pills I feel like I'm dying

I'm sure it's just the anxiety that is ur problem....it can trick ur mind into believing all sorts of things & prob now the medication is getting into ur system which can make u feel worse before it makes u better. Take Care for now.

Hi JLouise,  I sympathize with you sooo much.  I remember going out with the family for a meal on Sunday.  As much as I love to eat, fighting that swaying feeling in the chair was enough to give me a tension headache every time.  I was scared to death that I'd make a scene, but no one else seemed to notice.  So much for family time. I'd go home and have to take an Advil.  You think I had done hard labor but it was hard emotional work I was going through.  I wish you on this one.  xx

It was an awful feeling. I just couldn't concentrate on anything or anyone. I felt like I was drunk and was worried if I stood up if just fall back down.

 I so hear you.   I remember that feeling like it was yesterday.  Something is not right with our nervous system.  It's always in hyper state.  I keep researching and studying new writings on anxiety/depression hoping for an answer in the near future.  It seems to be coming to light more now a days than before when it was talked about in a whisper.  If you had to, do you have a antianxiety med that you could take before going next time?  I'm sorry you must be worn out.  I hope the evening goes better for you.  x
