About yours Truly

Hi I have had anxiety for most of my life (on and off)I am 68 years of age (that's old)smile,to day i went down Tesco's feeling light headed,and then off to B and Q's,floated round there like a butterfly,I have this small irrational fear of falling but I have been light headed for years and have never fell ,totally illogical I know,but I came home done some gardening,layed some turf and erected a new rotary line for my wife,I am now sitting on the bed,not giving in to anxiety more like a tactical withdrawal (smile) I still have a sense of humour,which on occasion wears a little thin,I have accepted and fought my anxiety for a long time now but the battle still goes on,so to all anxiety sufferer's I say just persevere my friends and carry on regardless(smile)

Hello, your quiite right......keep calm and carry on as they say. i feel ive been suffering with that light headed feeling for years now, its always worse when im at my most anxious along with fuzzy vision so i feel when i do go out which is never alone, people must think im as drunk as a skunk and that i have just staggered from the pub:).......i wouldnt mind but i dont even drink and cant remember the last time i had a sip. i think we all feel like we have just got off a roller coaster on here so you have deffinatly come to the right place! keep battleing on with us. x

Thank you whywhy Its not easy as you know in fact it takes so much out of me that I usually rest in the afternoons,but every day is still a bonus and after all its not terminal (smile),I used to look at other people and think to myself I wish I could be like them,but then I thought I am unique anxiety has fine tuned all of my senses and taught me so much about life,so now when it comes its just a friend popping in for a visit,have a lovely evening my friend and take care.

Hi teabag

It was lovely reading your blog and gives encouragement to people like me who sometimes wants to throw the towel in. I have this feeling when i go out that my legs wont carry me and feel like jelly. I intend to take people with me in case i fall over (crazy).

But i congratulate you on not giving into the anxiety and you have done very well.

Thanks for the blog once again.

Take care

Big hugs

Love Seyi xxx

Morning Seyi this I woke up feeling very anxious ,trembling slightly,some days I feel like standing in the toilet and pulling the chain,smile)no honestly its no fun I can assure you,ringing in my ears ,I have been here many times before,I think its because I always feel that I should be doing more,I have cut my medication down to 10mg from 20mg,and my mind is saying that's why I am having a bad start to the day,but then we all look for reasons to blame our anxiety on,well another day to get through(best way I can)I have always had anxiety but when I was a boy they called it a biliousness attack,then about 5 years ago they put a label on me and said Oh you have chronic anxiety,I am sure that it got worse from that day(smile)anyway have a good day and do the best you can my friends,Take care from teabags
