Can anxiety effect the way you walk? Idk what’s going on but as soon as I get nervous my legs feel like collapsing. On top of that I have bad fatigue so my legs get weak and I’m exhausted so I’m kinda of a walking zombie.

I think this kind of thing happened to me, I would focus so much on how I was walking in high school that soon every time I walked I felt like I no longer knew what I was doing, couldn’t tell if I was walking weirdly and kind of felt like I didn’t remember how to, like my legs were just wobbly sticks that I was trying to control. I started going on daily walks at a park and just trying to feel comfortable walking. It helped after a while and it sort of went away. If I think of it for some reason while walking randomly I still feel the same feeling again, I just try to act like I know what I’m doing and attempt to ignore it haha.

Oh, yes! It happens with me. I notice when my anxiety is sky high, my balance is off and when i go to walk and it's weird because it feels like i forgot how to walk right? If that sounds wacky?? My walking gets a little better as i go,but it's as if i have to focus hard about just my walking! Anxiety can be very debilitating!
