Anxiety/ stress have left me unbalanced

Hello,

Yes, I have been through this, for a very long time, I thought I was never going to get better. I won't say I am 100% better by any means but I am a bit better and able to do more.

Are you a female and if so, do you have any hormone issues?

Hello Gen

I know exactly how you feel, I've been feeling like this since June last year. I often feel like I'm wobbling if I stand still. I've had an ECG and a few blood tests which were all ok but still the unbalanced feeling remains. I've been having CBT which has helped a little but my health anxiety is pretty firmly rooted so it's hard to make progress sometimes but I am trying. It might be a good idea to try and notice how your breathing is when you are feeling off balance. Hyperventilation can make you feel awfully off balance. I hope you can find something that works for you. Take care xx

Hi i feel like this everyday, unbalanced shaking, dry mouth fuzzy head, panic over everything, feeling like i will faint, its awful, just feel under constant threat everyday that something bad will happen, but do you know what, nothing bad apart from these awful feelings ever happens, so today i decided to confront my anxiety these feelings i just let them in and told them, you cant hurt me any more i wont let you, for you anxiety have and are taking up to much of my precious time, just tell it i know its hard, to stop, if i can do it you can i never thought i could deal with this thought it would be with me forever, just sit quitely breath and tell yourself that you are safe for a few minutes you will feel uncomfortable but from somewhere deep within you will have and you will find the strength, you and the people in your life deserve your time not anxiety, remember these are only feelings and these feelings will not hurt you, no matter how high those waves get you will ride them, remember dont say what if this happens what if that happens, change it to so what ill cope i can do this no matter what gets thrown at you your the one that has the strength to get your life back to how you used to be, i wish you all the luck in the world, and im here if you ever need anyone to talk to, and together we will get through this. x

Hi,

No you very much are not alone with this, when my anxiety is bad I have real problems with placing my feet - it looks like I may be drunk but am certainly not ! I experience brain fog / fuzzy head / tight neck with the dizziness - does this sound similar ? When am relaxed I have none of these symptoms at all !

I certainly understand how you feel. For the past month I've been lightheaded, wobbly, totally out of sorts etc. everyday.

My Dr put me on Bupropion and that made everything worse. I weaned off and now starting Buspirone tomorrow. Praying that it helps. Hang in there. Do slow breathing exercises, go for a walk, or keep yourself occupied with a craft or something you enjoy. I wish you the best.

i FEEL this to my CORE. I got vertigo in November and now I'm a anxious mess all the time. dizzy and almost like I can't keep myself still if I move in certain ways. it's almost like brief motion sickness and my brain "recalibrating". I HATE it cause it makes me feel like I'm getting vertigo again.

alas, I have not (thank goodness) but am so TERRIFIED of it happening again

It is very difficult to manage anxiety. Everyone at some point faces anxiety and if it remains unchecked can result in a major psychological situation. Going for walks and meditation can help you with managing it.
