Anoying feeling of being some kind of drunk
Posted , 12 users are following.
Hi,
This is a problem which I suffer from a lot and I wonder what I can do about it.
The best thing to describe it is that it feels like being drunk. I feel a bit out of balance, my vision is blurry and my body feels not clear for some reason. This causes anxiety, stress and depression for me, because I want to have a clear mind and especially when you fully sober.. Sometimes I'm doing in stuff and I just feel very out of place.. All of this makes me very insecure about my thought process and my overall well being.
Any tips? I would really appreciate it. This is not the only problem where I suffer from, but if I could change it I would probably feel a lot better. I discussed this a lot with my psychologist, but she never gave any good advice about it. The only thing I could think about which could help me is some more exercise in my life, because I'm a lot of home and I've a lot of days I don't even come outside. But at the moment it's hard to get discipline in this, because I'm being in a really deep hole for ages now and my depression is increasing about this.

hi, the only thing ive found to help get out of my anxiety scary symptoms is to accept them and not try and run from them. its hard to explain but look up anxiety exposure therapy. i use to get a symptom that i would closely describe to being drunk where i could feel myself swaying, brain fog and that out of body almost feeling. the places i would find it was the worse was in open public spaces, queues, supermarkets or sitting at home, still in a quiet moment. first i would label it as anxiety. then i would make myself stay still and not fight it, let it pass. i wouldnt move until it was gone. to start with where it was worse in queues i would start by making myself stay for a minute before i left the queue scared, once i could do that i built it up to 2minutes and would not let myself leave the shop until id done it. you build up over time and eventually you stop being scared and your brain stops seeing it as danger.
