Intense Sinking Feeling
Posted , 9 users are following.
Desperate for some advice or reassurance - I have been dealing with anxiety for about 4 months now and the last few weeks I have much improved. The only thing I seem to be struggling with still is this sinking feeling I get. I can be feeling totally fine and happy and then I will get this very short very intense wave of a sinking feeling, like feeling very upset for about 1 second. It’s comparible to experiencing a tragedy like a relative dying and finally getting some relief from it by forgetting about it for a split moment and then remembering it. Like a stomach flip. It is very unsettling and I get this several times a day. Does anyone else experience this?

Hi Jess. i came across this yesterday.. your original post is identical to what i have been getting since i was 16. I will be going about my normal business and suddenly, usually triggered by a thought, but not always, i would get the most intense feeling of sadness literally for 1 second. Almost as if my mood dropped off the end of a cliff! at the same time my check/throat/gut felt lile it was being pulled down like a sinking feeling. I also suffer anxiety and have done for years. Not sure if you've had any luck with it but I've seen many professionals over the last decade and tried many meds. I even paid £500 to see one of the best Psychiatrists in my area and he didnt know how to get rid of it. Anyway, I'm 27 now and it still happens. i have just learned to live with it but it affects my like massively!
