When I go to a party or find myself out in public having a good time - i suddenly "check in" with how I am feeling and them immediately have a sense of derealization/dizziness preceding panic.
I always think it's because I am talking too much but I realize it happens when I check in so to speak.
Does anyone else get dizzy if they are talking too much?
Sacolucci......I always do....Being on the telephone is the worst. But in person I can feel the tightness under my jaw as I talk as well as feel my head fill up like a cloud building in it. I just finished a one hour phone call 1/2 hour ago and it's taken me this amount of time to get rid of that feeling.
Why is that? today I was at a party and I was having a good time. I was speaking to a lot of different people. Then all of a sudden, I started to feel like blood was rushing to my head and headachy. Then I checked in to my body and got anxious and a little panicky. The thought "I am dizzy" kicks in and the fight or flight reaction triggers.
I've been like that a long time. I get excited when I talk with people to the point that I tend to hold my breath when talking. It's the same exact feeling your get. Feeling like blood rushing to my head and headachy. There was a time before I understood what was happening that a blackness came over me for a second or two.
Once I understood what was happening, that darkness feeling went away but still get the other feelings but not as intense. Accepting it as anxiety has played a big part in my learning how to reverse or control it.
I tend to listen more than I use to. I felt I had to fill in the gaps of silence should there be any. Now I'm more laid back and turn the conversation over to the other person(s).
What happens is that the muscle tension is so great in the back of our neck, shoulders and face that as we talk, the movement of our jaw keeps building the tension until it feels as if our head is light and will float away.
When we deep breathe while talking, it brings down the pressure feeling because it calms our mind down. I am a very outgoing, people person so it's not because I'm shy. I am a Type A personality and will always be that way.
That pretty much explains me too! Thank you for clarifying. I feel like I do a lot of talking to the point where I get dizzy. and then I get like a malaise feeling that comes over me as well.
Exactly the same. Who would believe that talking could cause so much distress. For the last half hour I have had a microwavable heat wrap around my shoulders to bring down the tension of my shoulders touching my ears. It's a body language thing we have as well.
We pay for having a good time
