can anyone relate to this?

Hi everyone
I am just wondering if anyone ever feels like i do. I have had anxiety for 5 years now and just want it gone, but my biggest symptoms is my head feeling fogged, with slight dizziness or a feeling of being off balance. Some days its like i dont even know how i can move one foot in front of the other or even co ordinate to get around the house with my head feeling like it is stuffed with cotton wool...at times i just cant describe how bad i feel with it all, i know fogginess is part of this but i seem to get hit with it so hard and all day that it still scares me.
I dont seem to get basically anything done around the house when it is this bad, as i feel i am too scared and too foggy and off balance to get up and do house cleaning etc. and going out of the house somedays, even just to get outside when i feel this way almost seems impossible. I find myself just laying on the couch alot of the day and only getting up when i need to, but in doing all of this i can feel myself getting bored as my other half is at work all day.
Its putting a great strain on my relationship as we both want to go out and do things but i always feel that i cant because of the way my head feels :o(
I just want my life back along with you all i guess.
Anyway ill be happy to keep reading through to see if anyone has these symptoms as bad as i do.
Great forum by the way
take care everyone

Most of my days are like this..somedays better somedays worse.Some I can get out doors others I couldnt get out of bed..Yes I can relate..There are days i want to get out so bad yet I don't even trust my self out the front door..I feel all the things you do and more..its all anxiety ..just keep on trying and it will get easier but you will have set backs thats normal.Im fighting with it and you fight too.. please dont let us go peacefully into the night ,fight with all your might and go screaming into the night if you have to.. don't let it get to you ..tell yourself I can do this ..over and over no matter how bad it gets.. and just keep saying it.. we are all here for you.. and some are still going through a lot worse than you and I ..we shoud count ourselves lucky..

PRAYER FOR FREEDOM FROM SUFFERING

May all beings everywhere plagued
with sufferings of body and mind
quickly be freed from their illnesses.
May those frightened cease to be afraid,
and may those bound be free.
May the powerless find power,
and may people think of befriending each other.
May those who find themselves in trackless, fearful wilderness--
the children, the aged, the unprotected--
be guarded by beneficent celestials,
and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.

Prin,

I suffer from anxiety and depression. I have days where I feel like I am in a complete fog, feeling like I'm hungover ( but haven't drank), and feeling very tired. My balance is off at times and I seem to get more irritable. Sometimes this happens for hours and sometimes it's just moments. It almost feels like you can't relax and it's difficult to concentrate. Have you found anything out about this?
Thanks!

Y'know anxiety disorders effect every muscle in the body, and that include all the muscles on the head, including the eyes which use muscles to focus. But It sounds to me as though you have a general anxiety problem.
Deep relaxation is a beautiful feeling. Once you've master it, you feel so relaxed and content and don't have a care in the world. I was lucky, I got taught how to do it by professionals, But anyone can learn how to do it.
