Does anyone else ever feel like your body has a lead weight attached to it and like buzzing (for lack of a better word)?. I have no problem moving around, but when I'm still, it's like my body is being held down. I know this probably sounds crazy, but sometimes I feel like I am wink

You're not crazy Panda! Now, if you keep saying stuff like this, I'm going to make you stand in the corner! ;)

I've had similar feelings,...even the buzzing. I know that's difficult to describe, because it is not like tinnitus it's more like a whole body buzzing type of thing, that you can absolutely feel. Sometimes I felt so sensitive, I'd swear I could hear my eyelids blinking.

As for the heavy weight, I've experienced it a number of times, where I felt like I was moving my body through quicksand, even though I could move individual parts of my body just fine,....making that sluggish lethargy feeling even that much more confusing.

Isn't it absolutely astonishing just what a wide variety of symptoms Anxiety can perpetuate? Sneaky little bugger!

Merrida, thanks for the laugh. Your words said exactly what I was trying to say. I said this in a post a few months ago and I'll say it again now, because it's so true. Just when I think I can't possibly feel anything else weird, I do. Anxiety is a very powerful and bizarre animal and is relentless in how it can make one feel. Glad I'm not alone. I just want to feel like myself again but have almost forgotten how that feels.
