confusion and clumsiness.

I have been feeling a lot better lately but man the months and months of being anxious has taken it's toll. I'm out shopping and I wasn't feeling overly anxious but I was still having issues with being disoriented and stuff. I did real well not giving into second fear and escalating but man its gonna take some time to get this adrenaline and cortisol out of my body. Its strange how I wont even be that nervous but i'll tremble for no reason. I've pretty much got the conscious panic under control but the sub-conscious still causes these bouts of panic and confusion that come and go for seemingly no reason. I hate it but I'm not letting it get me down.

Good for you LDS32, in not giving into second fear. Even when we feel we are not nervous, that adrenaline is still at a higher level than most which would explain the trembling. As you take more control of your anxiety by accepting it as such, the symptoms will lessen and eventually just go away. My best.

Well put, the subconscious anxiety so to speak does linger for some time.

Facing, accepting, floating, and letting time pass. Dr. Claire Weekes.

Yea it will be awhile. I've put my nervous system through a lot for 8 months so it makes sense even though i'm only slightly anxious the body still reacts like i'm extremely anxious.

Man! It's like I could have written your post. That's what I've been struggling with for a while now. I'm also trying to follow the advice of Claire Weekes and others with facing, accepting etc. I'm wondering how to reprogram our subconscious though.

It takes a long while and me being human once I start feeling better and I go back to the bad habits . It can take months of being calm to end sensitization.
