anyone have any tips besides poppin a pill that has helped them with feeling?? especially the dizziness and tiredness.

thanks so much, god bless to everyone... lets have a good week.:D

Hi F.I.G.

I am sorry that you had a rough morning. I hope that you are feeling better now.

Do you practice coping skills? Dizzyness for me can almost always be eliminated with breathing exercises...as it is cause by shallow breathing. I don't even realize that I am hyperventilating. I just forget to breath deeply when I am feeling stressed, so I end up with with this symptom.

Another culprit could be low blood sugar. You mentioned feeling this way in the morning...did you skip breakfast? A lot of people do, and while some people can...I know I can't! I must eat in the morning or I will get hypoglycemic feelings, and that can include feeling unstable and restless.

Check out our Resources for breathing/coping skill exercise tips, and see how those and eating breakfast (if you aren't already ) helps.

Best wishes for a peaceful day.:)

I feel restless too. To calm myself I talk to friends, listen to opera (give it a shot, it's extremely relaxing music), play word games, and read posts on this site. Reading what others write gives me ideas on how to cope.
