Does anyone ever all of a sudden get this weird rushing feeling theough there body then get dizzy & light headed ? I got this about an hour ago had a good morning picked my grandson up from nursery came home went to make him lunch then all of sudden felt so light headed , had to lie on my bed for ages was feeling hot & clammy then felt cold , I've had this before but not quite as bad it really scares me when it happens & makes me feel so anxious , I suffer from anxiety anyway & felt so good for managing to do normal things this morning now I feel anxious & scared & don't want to go out 😥

    I suffer something very much the same with my Depression. One moment I will be low next I am rushing around knocking doors out of windows, I call it cooking with gas. After that period I feel tired.

    Enjoy the rush

    Keep a hold

      I wish I had that rush lol ! But it's the worst feeling ever feeling so lightheaded & dizzy 😵 your day is ruined as the anxiety just kicks in even worse as your scared it happens when out the house 🏡 life is just on hold all the time just when you think your feeling a bit better 😥

      All of above are problems many suffer from with their anxiety, I feel for you as I have the same problems and nothing about it is very nice. 

      Throughout my life I have had to need to achieve and it is only now I can dictate my own outlook every day I push and push That is all I know

    Hi Fiona,

    yes, many, many people suffer with this. It's part of anxiety disorder, unfortunately.

    There are a lot of posts on this subject doing the rounds at the moment - do go and have a look at them - you may hopefully feel reassured that you're not alone.

    Love Tess xx

      It's horrible Tess , I get that feeling of being hot & clammy then tingely then get all light headed I just have to go lie down & wait till it passes but it sets me back for the whole day as I just feel anxious & horrible , I feel for anyone who gets this , I just think I might be ill or need the doctor which makes me panic but it does pass even though it's scary xx

    I experience this occasionally... I call it my "all or nothing state" for a period I'm wide open and taking care of everything next thing I know it's over and I'm exhausted, lightheaded and in need of rest ... Just another part of this frustrating anxiety ... Hope your feeling better soon

      Thank you I hope your keeping well & more good days than bad , it's just so horrible it's the worst feeling ever I don't know what I'd do if it happened outside , it makes me scared to go anywhere incase it happens , I was having such a good day as I struggle to go out a lot due to my anxiety & had managed to do so much this morning 😀

    Hi Fiona.  Yep, I can relate to your post !!! Isn't it frustrating when you think you are having a "good day" and out of the blue you have "an episode" ( thats what I call them anyway ).  I always feel as if I am taking 3 steps forward and 2 steps back when it happens, which does delay your recovery.  What an absolute beast this anxiety is !!!!! Luv Lily xx

      It's definitely anxiety. I had the same thing about a week ago, more than once in the same day... Well, I think mine was a bit different. I felt really dizzy, lightheaded, faint, hot, tingly, vision got blurry... It was like I was in a fish bowl, suffocating. A hot shower helped bring me back to my senses.

      Hi it really is horrible isn't it ? It does pass but at the time you think it's something serious & I get all panicky I just lay on my bed till it passed but I have the fear of it happening when I'm out & it makes me want to stay in the house my safe haven ! I had been having such a good morning it just came from nowhere 😬
