Hi: haven't been here a while still not feeling well. Still have severe anxiety and dizziness don't even sleep well. I actually feel worse, body feels tense all the time. I wish I was better but I'm not. Husband lives in another house and doesn't care how I feel or how I live. To bad this can't kill me, cause this isn't life, I'm just existing nothing more. I panic when going into stores or other places outside of the house and my dizziness gets worse. I wish I had something more positive to say! cry cry cry cry cry cry

Lgm; I'm afraid nobody understands the way I really feel this anxiety has taken away my life. I have therapy and a phyc. Doctor. I don't have the support at home and left alone to take care of myself, which I can't do. Haven't showered in weeks and have constant panic attacks.

I edited your post to keep it inline with the rules and guidelines of HealingWell.

 

Why don't you email me as I am concerned about how you are feeling and see if I can help you on the side as a peer, not as a therapist?

 

Kindly,

Kitt

Hardtime, I'm sorry that you're going through this. I know I'm new, but I totally understand. It has to be so much harder being alone though. :( You have therapy so I'm not telling you anything you haven't heard a million times, and please don't get frustrated with me, but when you feel dizzy or anxious, KEEP doing what it is your doing, and tell yourself you gotten through this many times before. Live your life, and don't let anxiety ruin it for you. I got to the point where I started to get angry at my anxiety (I know it sounds funny) but I would seriously get mad @ it when it happened and tell myself i'm not letting it control me. I'm the one who gives it the power and i'm not allowing that anymore! Please try to do the same. Like I said, I know you know all this already, but i'm only saying it to you because it helps me when people tell me these things. Take a nice warm shower, relax and if you need anyone, we're all here.

Missy; I'm anxious and dizzy 24/7 every single day, it's not a moment or bout it's constant. Everyday gets harder and harder to live. Never thought I would live my life like this and with friends and family treating me like I have the plague gives me less hope to move on or to think positive.

Funny cause there are days I have the exact same thing. Dizziness like I'm off balance all days. All days I'm in a clinched state. Seems like when My klonopin dose increases I feel better dizziness goes away. When I start building a tolerance to it, it comes back. There are others in the same boat as u I promise. We have to keep fighting to live and be happy again

It just happens sometimes! You can delete a post that you have made yourself. Hit the 'X' icon in the upper toolbar.

It will only appear in your own posts...only the original poster and moderators can delete a post.

I took care of the extras for you here.:)

Hardtime,

I'm speaking as someone whose not only considered those thought, but acted on them (unsuccessfully, obviously).

Please know that there are better times ahead. It's difficult to understand that when you're so down. I know you're probably shaking your head and thinking "she doesn't know what she's talking about" but I really do to an extent. I've never been in your shoes. I know that.

While you're feeling alone and deserted, though - try to see how many of us here care. Really care. I've never even chatted with you before, but have tears in my eyes at this very moment.

Although I haven't been going through it as long as you apparently have, I do understand the constant dizziness. If I were a child, someone would be calling child services right now - there's literally not a part of my body which isn't currently bruised from falling. I've been distinguishing between "severe panic" and "some panic" because I rarely feel I have a break from the anxiety.

I can feel my loved ones pulling away and it's hurtful. Very hurtful. It was the same when I was depressed - my roommate even left to stay with someone else for a long time.

I think though, it's not really that they don't care. It's that they don't understand and they're scared.

I'm not really sure what to say to you - I just hope that it's of at least some comfort for you to know that I do care. I care enough to ramble on like a fool in this absurdly long post.

I'm sending you love and prayers. Nice to meet you, kindred soul.

Benadryl helps with the dizziness. Been taken it everyday. Hang in there. We have all been to the place your at. It will get better. But you do have to want it!!

Hardtime,

I have some occasional dizzy spells but nothing that causes me any real concerns.  I do take medications that may cause vertigo but nothing I cannot handle.

I hope you are soon feeling better and remember we are all here to support you so keep on venting when you feel the need.

Kindly,

Kitt

hardtime,
you and i have the same symptoms. this sucks doesn't it. my doctor just prescribed me with meclizine. it's supposed to help vertigo. although, i'm terrified to take it because i have a ridiculous fear of getting sick from medicine. either way, perhaps ask your doctor about that. things have to get better.
