BAD DAY

Hi Everyone -

I am hoping for some support right now. I am having a really bad day and it's been a while. Does anyone have symptoms BEFORE the anxiety??? Like physical bodily symptoms such as feeling "off" - lightheaded, woozy, off balance, fuzzy, etc and THEN it creates anxiety? I want to know, my doctor said this is still part of anxiety. Has anyone else experienced this? Where you feel so sure that it is a symptom first that starts and then the anxiety?????

Yes, I get an odd sensation of feeling off balance or something sort of zings me. I get scared then and am sensitive to whatever is going to happen or not happen for a long time. Seems like a common thing.

Hi BT. I too get a weird feeling of just being off or not feeling right, then the wave of anxiety hits me. Sometimes it's mild and a little annoying. Sometimes it hits me like a freight train. NOT fun.

Yes! I experience that quite frequently and had a hard time describing it to my doctors for the longest time. I could be fine and all of the sudden, my vision is funky, I feel as if I am spinning. Those then send me into a panic, like what's wrong with me, am I dying type of panic. I find that getting into a bathtub helps a lot, the sensory change helps reverse some of the adrenaline you may be feeling. Also, of course, remember to breathe and talk to yourself. Tell yourself , you've gotten through it before..you WILL get through it today.

Hugs.

I had a similar day.

I'm glad you are having a better today!!!
