Weak/jelly legs?

Does anyone else get this sensation where it feels like the back of your thighs/legs feel somewhat shaky leg? I’ve been a bit more anxious than usual because this - because this is an entirely new sensation/symptom for me. It feels like I’m shaky and it’s kind of freaking me out because I’m travelling soon and I can’t head to the doctor yet. But it’s making me feel like I’m off balance.

I know fixating on it isn’t helping but the sensation is just there and it makes me feel off sorts. It also probably doesn’t help that I’m traveling soon.

I hear you keptainicandozatt....take a listen on YouTube to Dr. Claire Weekes/Psychiatrist.

She wrote a book regarding "Hope & Help for Your Nerves" (Her video is on YouTube as well)

It may just help you realize that anxiety can cause this feeling.

She lets us know that even weak jelly legs can get us to where we want to go.

Over sensitized nervous system is kicking in about your upcoming trip.

I'm not a doctor but have been through this myself. Wish you well :) xx

Yes it is common, worth getting checked out etc but it is part of the fight, flight freeze system. You might also find that you are forgetting to breath. I sound like a broken record here but there exercises might help you find some relief trecourse.com/courses/ it is about resetting your nervous system to baseline (but it will take time). Wishing you peace, health and a good trip.
