As i lay in bed

[Cwoods]

Today at work was the worse feeling i ever got i was feeling ok one mintue was a little anxious from earlier but thought i had it under control then all of a sudden my head was spinning i felt like i was about to pass out then the panic really set in my hands started feeling tingling and feet as well the dread came over me like i was loosing it.

The worse part about it during the whole ordeal i didnt have anyone to talk too as i sat there with fear of whats going to happen i manage to calm down a bit. But as time went on the dizzy feeling came back again and i had to leave work on my way home in the taxi felt like the longest ride ever. I went home ate some soup drank some ginger tea started to feel a lil better but my mind was racing as to why i felt such way did i mention i started to feel weak my legs and arma felt so weak and tingly. I am soo sick of this anxiety now i lay in bed as i had slept earlier and now cannot go back to sleep. Can anyone relate to anxiety and dizzy spells can it cause it? Thanks to who took the time out to read this.

[Cwoods in reply to fib4]

i'm glad i'm not alone in this. i'm sorry you feel that way though. some nights i lat awake afraid to close my eyes because i'm afraid i'll wake up with an attack. i actually pull my hair out to calm myself down now that;s weird. if i don't stop it i;m gonna go bald. sometimes i'm even afraid to go out of the house

[Cwoods in reply to fib4]

Oh wow pulling your hair isnt good why dont u try going on youtube to listem to meditating apps or information on anxiety i find that if i listen to some videos on youtube about anxiety it gives me reasurrance and the meditating songs can help to calm u down

So sorry. I can relate. My dizzy spells with fast heartbeat, panic and disturbing thoughts happen a lot like when I am waiting in line to pick up my kiddos or in a store wide open places sometimes so sometimes I become afraid to drive and even go out, as you have mentioned.

Today I had shaking hands fast heart rate and could not speak clearly when making a phone call to my kids doctor because I feel insecure around people, even through the phone! Sometimes the littlest things can feel like the hardest.

Your attacks sound like they come out of nowhere. Have you ever noticed things that helped to get out of the panic? For me, deep breathing can help and walking around and distractions, also accepting and letting go or even talking to my anxiety words like yes ok but I don’t have time for you now and dismiss the anxiety. I try not to give it power.

Best to you.

i try breathing it helps to get the heart under control my husband thinks it's all in my head. people just don't understand what it's like to be like this we are not making it up, i'm like that too afraid to drive go places fear of getting lost then the panic sets in cause i have to go out.i feel like people are looking at me like i'm a loser and all i want to do is go to the safety of my home. it's awful i actually have panic attacks in grocery stores racing heart. and to stop it i have to actually kneel and lower my head so i pretend i'm looking at food items on the bottom shelves. LOL!!!!!! a little humor here!!!!!!!
