im getting really concerned i have constant dizziness that nobody can find a couse for so they just keep telling me its anxiety , i have this dizziness and anxiety from the moment i wake up til i go to sleep (if i can sleep that is ) ive seen a few docs and had lots of tests which have come back ok , just that people keep telling me just to accept the dizziness and get on with my life but i cant it has made me so agrophobic that i even get scared of going down stairs in case i feel worse which i usually do , ive recently changed meds and just increased the dose last week but im not sure there going to work as theres no improvement yet , the other day i was so hysterical as i was having loads of intrusive thoughts about wether i loved my 10 year old daughter anymore and am scared im going to hurt her also told my husband to hide my medication coz im scared im going to take them all without realizing , i am suicidal at the moment or think i am ( im scared of dying so it dosnt make sense ) everyone says i wont do it coz thats wot im scared of but how can they be sure when i feel so low and confused and lost ,i hope i wouldnt commit suicide or harm anyone i love but its still on my mind , and this constant dizziness i have is making me have constant adrenaline /anxiety rushes i have tried to accecpt them but its getting worse instead of better ,i darnt hardly move because of the dizziness, i wont let my husband leave me alone as i have severe anxiety attacks about the dizziness , the dizziness makes it so i cant see properly so you can see why i darnt go anywhere , im proper fed up with it all and feel trapped in my own body , i woulnt feel so bad if i felt ok some of the time or it only happened in certain situations ,but its ther all the time ,how can i live another day like this when every step i take feels like im going to collaspe or the world starts to spin , ive had CBT which didnt work and they wont give me anymore , i was that bad on friday i had to ring the community crisis team who dont really do anything , i just feel like nobody can help me and i dont seem to be able to help myself ither , i really dont know what to do ,
im just the same..dizzy !! it a bitch of a thing..i wake up in the morning usually ok..before i no it im dizzy,which makes me panacky..its a mad spiral effect...the more i think about it the worse it gets..really messes my life up..dont know what to do my self...i just try and keep busy..it helps sometimes...

hi trev1234 how can you keep busy if your constantly dizzy i find myself trying to do things but the dizziness is there all the time which then makes me panic coz i cant see properly then i feel sick , all i want to do is lay down but then i get depressed because of it , i cant talk to people very well coz it feels like they keep moving , im so misarble and my family is suffering coz i wont go anywhere and dont want them to because i dont want to be on my own,im shaking all the time which i know is anxiety but still i feel ill constantly :hugs:

Do you eat enough ?? im only asking because if i dont eat before taking meds they can make you dizzy and lightheaded. try too eat small amounts often i find it keeps dizziness at bay .

Hi
Its a hard cycle to break, I go to bed wondering how i will feel Tomorrow and wake up wondering how i will feel today.
The dizzyness is one of the worst symptoms for me because it usually starts the others, it also how i score my day the less dizzy the better the day
Distrsction sometimes works for me too but you have to find something you can really get engrossed in
best wishes

Hi trev yes some of the time husband is suppotive but always throw the fact that he gave up work to look after me back in my face and he can be great for a day or two then he starts being nasty and sarcastic about the dizziness or tells me hes going out or something which then gives me an anxiety attack or he will say well you ither come with me or stay on your own which is crap when you are a quivering wreck , my mum and dad, and sister are supportive but my sister works full time and i get too afraid to goto her house or parents house to be looked after coz of feeling ill while im there and the journey ther too:hugs:
