Re: Light headed/dizzy
Hey Joe,
I sympathise with you completely, I have this all the time and it is horrible . It is such a physical symptom and is difficult to pass off as a symptom of anxiety i know - but that is what it is. The most difficult thing in combating it is not trying too hard for it to disappear. Accept you are dizzy and walk on, don't fight it desperatly. Another thing that I noticed, is that when im dizzy i tend to look at my feet and slouch. If you do this too, it makes it alot better if you look ahead and take in your surroundings and stand a bit taller. Sounds a bit obvious, but its easier to inwardly wallow in the feeling of dizzyness and physically you will follow suit...then hat chance has our poor body of healing itself!!
I know it is awful, but the more you try and get on with being active and distracting your mind with the world around you, the better chance your body has of re-adjusting. It own't happen over night, i still haven't got over it at all, but im learning to let it wash over me.
I've said it a few times, but Claire Weekes has helped me so much - she made me realise that you cannot strive to relax, you have to put yourself in the right frame of mind to allow your body to do it on its own. As soon as ya start tryin - ya not relaxin!
Good luck with it Joe, let us know how you're getting on!!
