New (weird) symptom.

Hi everybody.
I am not new to the forum. Used to be AnxietyRose but lost my aacounr info and had to open a new one.

Anyway, I wanted to talk about this new Sx I've been having since last week, hoping someone can understand, as it is very hard to explain.
It is not an ache nor something I could deceibe as physical. It is more of a 'feeling'. I can be feeling just fine and all of a sudden would get this feeling of... I don't even know. Like sleepy? Or just weird. For a second and then it's gone. In a couple of minutes it comes back, and so on.

It's been hapening pretty much all day, every day. I've been really busy and don't notice it sometimes but as soon as I'm relaxed I notice it.

Well, I hate it. Makes me nervous. If it was an ache I could take something for it. If it was palps I would use breathing tecniques. But this? What do I do?

I knew the holidays would be hard. But why can't I just cry and get over it?! Cry for the recent loss of my mom. Cry because I lost the job that I loved. Cry because I also lost my brother and father in recent years and I miss my family. Just cry a lot and get on with my life. But no. Now I have to get this weird symptom that's gonna mess with my head and start thinking there's something wrong with me neurologically (which, susprinsingly enough, has never been one of my many health concerns).
Sorry this has been so long and messy.

Thanks for listening.

Hi RoseAnx
I totally agree with SC... this feeling is COMMON to me and I truly understand how it bothers you...I am certain, too, that it is anxiety related... I honestly would not spend one minute worrying that it is 'just physical'! :)
It doesn't sound 'really bad' I know...but it is the very dickens to have to put up with! I know that full well...
I have found that what helps me the most is simply saying something like 'well, here you are again...please leave when you are ready' ... Now I know that doesn't sound like an instant cure all! :) but not fighting against it or focusing on it does help... and it DOES 'go away'... Sometimes I will listen to guided meditations (from the internet) and that helps me.
Just take comfort in knowing you are 'not the only one'... and many of us relate...if they post about it or not.
Take good care! Big hug to you.

I have this happen from time to time too. It's nice to know I'm not the only one, although I don't like that any of us have to experience this. I don't know why it happens, but I think that just knowing that many of us anxiety types have it makes it a little more tolerable.

I'm sorry for all of the losses you've endured. Sending love and peace.
