clumsy since depression started

[JoJoR]

I don't know whether it is linked but I have been falling over quite regularly since my anxiety and PND started 12 months ago. I recently fallen off a curb and really badly sprained my ankle to the point that I thought it was broken and went to A&E for xrays. I wondered if anyone else has experienced this or whether I'm just clumsy!

Hi JoJoR
It is most likely linked to the anxiety....If you read some of the symptoms on this web site you'll see that our balance might be affected.... I used to be very unsteady on my feet and didn't leave home for about 5 weeks because I felt I could not stand upright for too long, there was ringing in my ear and feeling somewhat numb...after recovering I had to be mindfull of every step I took.
It does get better...nothing is stopping me now!!!!
