for months I've been feeling numb weakness in my legs. feeling faint. i had a baby almost 7 months ago and i haven't been right since. I've had blood tests done. I've had a heart monitor for a week that picked up nothing abnormal. I seen a neurologist who said I was fine by only checking reflexes. today my whole body feels off balance and numbish. my face feels kinda warm and numb. I feel like I will pass out. and my muscles are weak and numbish. I've been on prozac which always worked. that's why I think it's more than anxiety. I'm in tears as I type this. im taking 40mgs. also xanax I've been on for weeks. sometimes I take 2 a day depending. but I'm scared I'm get addicted I've taken one today because that's all I had left. I have two kids. my 7 year old and 7 month old and I'm scared I'm gonna a die and have to leave them. guys I l don't know what to do anymore.I'm scared of Passing out and dying. or getting paralysed. please if anyone has been through this can u advise me or anyone pls ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ xx

Hi Rachel
I went through this when my daughter was 6 months old, I went to the doctor as I constantly felt numb, my legs was like jelly and I felt like I couldn't do my normal tasks because I was going to collapse, I went to the doctors with this certain that I was going to loose all feeling in my body I was constantly pinching myself I had so many test done and was all ok, it was just anxiety and bare in my mind your body is still recovering it takes 12 months you still have a massive chemical imbalance and I can't see your sleep being that great, I still suffer from the numbness now in my face and hands it's scary but this is just anxiety
If you keep getting upset about it and feeding it you are going to feel these sensations more.
Tommorow just feel them and let them be and think it's just anxiety don't Google it and don't think about it and you will see it fade more and more your feeding your anxiety that then plays with nervous system that's what causes the weakness and numbness and light headed, anxiety is so so hard to deal with.
What I've told you to do is honestly the best help because it works just keep thinking it will pass it's anxiety, give it a week of doing that if it's still bad see the doctor that's what I tell myself!
Also sounds like you need a multivitamin give that a week or two to kick in xxx

ALSO, you know you have health anxiety and you know in a month time it will be something els
Although this feels very real now in a months time it won't.
Laugh at yourself and think it's something new every week, get a grip!
That's what I do xxx
