Being worn down by psycical symtoms...

[Timmypliskin]

Just being worn out by the symtoms...

Primary dizziness , but many other symptoms tag teaming me day in and day out.. I know I just have to work thru, but it's so difficult.

I know many people out there deal with the same thing , just venting , and it helps to know that others have this too..

Thanks for your time and any comments..

Yep - the dizziness is kicking my butt today and it was yesterday as well. I don't know if it's my medication or just the anxiety - and I will likely never know, which of course I dislike. It's just one foot in front of the other right now, and it usually passes later in the day. Still getting my basics done so that's good. Thanks for sharing. It is a comfort to hear someone else mention the dizziness.

Yes the dizziness is the worst. Cranks up the anxiety thru the roof... wich makes everything worse...

Thanks for replying

Believe it or not the dizziness can be turned off with acceptance. Dizziness is your bodies response to being in high alert so calming your self down and breathing well will help with that. Dizziness isn’t actually a symptom of anxiety it’s a symptom of worry etc and heightened smartness.

But yes , physical symptoms are a pain in the ass but you can work through them with time.

Chin up and think positive and try to ignore things and focus your mind on something that makes you take your mind off it.

Thanks, I'm trying very hard to accept... just seems like it's going on so much, I'm so afraid it's serious...

But thank you so much.

Try this :

Sit down , Breathe in 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and hold 1,2,3,4,5 and breathe out back from 9. Between each breath stand up , turn head to right and then back to centre and then to the left and back to centre.

Repeat this for 2-3 minutes and it should help to rebalance your internal gyroscope.

And although it may feel serious it’s very common with stress , worry and anxiety.

However , I’m assuming you’ve seen your doctor ?

[Timmypliskin in reply to Nobster]

Thanks I'll try that.

I've beento several doctors over the last 6 months so far no reason for the symtoms

[Nobster in reply to Timmypliskin]

Well hey , Then there you go .... There’s no underlying reason apart from anxiety so accepting this will help you move forward.

Anxiety is real , and it’s symptoms are real and you feel and life with it.

Reduce stress , worry etc and it will get better. I won’t say it will just disappear but I will get better and better. The more you reduce the awareness the quicker your body will recover from feeling threatened.

Trust me and persist with fighting it to the point it gets fed up.

Getting the right support and calming down will 100% help.

Good luck and take care.

Thank again

I just worry that most of my tests were done several months ago ... but yeah they were all clear

Glad I’m not the only one who gets the anxiety dizzies. It makes my anxiety worse too, then you get stuck in this awful loop.

[Timmypliskin in reply to Callie67]

Oh defiantly! It's the worst, scariest, thing I've ever felt...

I know many people suffer with it from 1 level or another

[Callie67 in reply to Timmypliskin]

I used to get it a lot at work and it caused me so much anxiety trying to look and act normal. I’d be gripping my desk with hand and typing with the other. It is definitely scary!

[Timmypliskin in reply to Callie67]

I understand completely, trying to keep it together at work is a nightmare... seems like everyone is so "normal"! It's sucks

[Callie67 in reply to Timmypliskin]

Think of it like this though.. you never know what other ppl are struggling with too. So we probably look more normal than we think! 😊 (just wishing we actually felt normal!)

[Raggedcliffs]

It’s hard I know. I have been through it many times. Are you on meds? They will work eventually even though you can’t see it at the time.x

I woke up anxious/dizzy and this is the first post I read today. I'm trying to take Nobster's advice and employ acceptance. Breathe and say it is OK. Hope it stops here and doesn't overwhelm me. I'm so tired of dealing with this. Wish it would just go away.

[Chubbers]

I know and I just had surgery a few weeks ago! Now I’m back at work dealing with it all. So many years of this. I don’t know what good feels like anymore. Hang in there -hugs-

[Timmypliskin in reply to Chubbers]

Thanks.... I hope you feel better too..
