HI,
Sorry to post again about this but tonight I am afraid.
A little bit of reassurance seeking here but it's really freaking me out and I could do with some words of reassurance, I admit.
My anxiety is very physical recently but it's mostly a DP feeling or general anxiety. A month ago I started getting a very heavy throat feeling, where I felt I couldn't take a breath. Not a tightness but a heavy feeling. It caused 2 huge panic attacks the weekend that hit and I had to skype a friend to help me through it. Since then I have learnt to let it be there but in the last 10 days I have started suffering from an unsteady feeling. When I am sat still it feels ok but the moment I walk around I feel heavy all down the back of my head, my throat and body just generally feels heavy. Now i am not in a panic attack or anything and no heart racing so it's not like adrenaline is flooding my system when it starts. The floor feels like I am walking on a boat and I feel off balance. It's freaking me out to the point I am avoiding walking around alot. Which is difficult being a busy mum.
Does this sound like anxiety? My BP is fine, ears ok, not been ill..... these symptoms started a month ago but now I feel unsteady with it and it's scaring me. I have never had physical symptoms like this. Today I have felt like strong DP feelings (I hope) where when I look in the mirror I feel I can see myself but I am hazy and out in the car tonight everything around me was distant and like I couldn't focus on my surroundings. Is this depersonalisation?
My husband said to me, you are in safe mode, I'd say all of this is depersonalisation but my anxiety has never really been physical so it keeps causing me panic attacks. Also because I am afraid I am ill and will collapse and have to see my GP or go to hospital.
I hate to post for reassurance but right now I am afraid of this, I wish it would stop. Every day I keep carrying on but it's not easy to let it be there, it scares me.
Bon
