Hello,
I just thought i would introduce myself and am hoping that maybe people will be able to offer advice or support. My first anxiety symptoms reared their ugly head about 4 years ago when i had just completed my first year of university. The main problem i have had throughout is a feeling of dizziness or that i am being pulled over to one side when i am walking which causes me to stop and start walking again or to grab onto something and panic! I have suffered other symptoms but these are the main ones that continually bother me. It is preventing me from doing normal things on my own-like going shopping- although i do try when i am feeling brave! I do have a full time job and am managing OK but i am a support worker and i get scared when i have to take the residents out or am asked to go out to run errands as I know i will have no choice in the matter. I feel as if im not the carefree person i once was and the only way for me to even try to have a night out is to have a few drinks beforehand! I have been on cipramil twice before but i am not currently taking any medication. I had a brain scan, and ECG's a couple of years ago and they turned out to be fine but i cant help being scared. Has anyone else had the symptom of feeling as if they are being pulled over to one side when they walk because i find this very strange and extremely uncomfortable. I also feel a constant pressure in my head and it feels almost like a headrush.
Sorry to be so long-winded!
