When im outside

When I go outside Im dizzy and I can barely see. The ground feels like its moving and nothing feels real. Humidity makes it worse. Im afraid something in my brain is permanenetly damaged. I just want to be able to go for walks again but i cant even walk in a straight line.

Someone, I wish I could take your hand and go outside with you. Everything

you are experiencing is what I had at one time. The important word here is

"I had". It is severe anxiety but you can and will beat this. It has nothing to do

with your brain being permanently damaged. You've had tests and have seen

doctors. Now it's about putting your focus on accepting anxiety.

I remember how anxiety made me feel so bad every time I went out to the point

of becoming agoraphobic for 5 years. I wouldn't want that for anyone.

Getting back in control is going to take one important thing and that is breathing

properly. As long as there is even a glimmer of fear in your mind, the dizziness

will appear, the ground will move and everything will feel unreal.

I was at that place you are for a long time.

You need to feel safe and secure. You need to work on your meditation and deep breathing several times a day. Once it all comes automatically to you and you feel

the results then and only then are you ready to take small steps outside. Right now,

my just saying outside must send shivers throughout your body. It must be done slowly.

You should have someone with you at the beginning. If it could be a therapist that would

be great otherwise someone you know and trust.

With each step you take outside, plant each foot and become grounded with the earth.

The ground is not moving, your anticipation and uncertainty are causing you to feel this

way. When you feel ready to venture out on your own, I would be more than willing to

accompany you virtually. It can and does work being connected to someone you know

understands and will talk you through each step you take. Breathing our way through.

It doesn't make any difference how long this may take, the prize will be the same and

that is you are once again in control. Believe me, it's an amazing feeling and accomplishment that will wipe out any doubts you ever had. We're strong in number xx

Someone I had the same thing for almost a year. It was real bad for me when my anxiety/panic attacks made themself known in my life. It was so hard to deal with. But it was about baby steps. And for a long time I always had someone with me. Then I would take my phone and headphones and put on a meditation music and go to a store and walk in the store for a few minutes by myself. Cuz I felt I didn't think it would get any better but it does get better in time. You are not alone in this
