Hello tricia56

I often seek similar reassurance from others who have experienced anxiety. I am also trying to reassure myself that most of the symptoms I experience are connected to my anxiety. What helps me is that I stop and think: 'hold on, am I nervous/ anxious because I am alone (at home, on the train, in tesco)'. The answer is yes, because I keep 'getting' the 'what ifs'- 'what if I faint/ collapse', 'who will be there for me'. But then I think, I am perfectly fine if I am not on my own, so I don't have an underlying condition - it must be anxiety.
However, I know so well that it is always easier said then done. When I get very anxious I find it really hard to acknowledge that it is only anxiety. For few days now, I feel lightheaded quite often. It is not real lightheadedness - it is actually hard to explain. It is like I am sitting at my desk and think, 'oh, I am lightheaded, my legs are getting heavy and I will not be able to get up' and 'how will I get home in this state'. Obviously I have to get on with it eventually and it always is fine. Just the feeling/ thought of lightheadedness bothers me. I also feel like I cannot walk straight and then I can also get a bit spaced out, which really feels like I am walking few inches above ground. It is hard to explain the feeling, but I think that it is related to my anxiety.
I am trying to think and be positive, eat well and get enough sleep. I have noticed that if I am hungry and/ or tired all the symptoms get worse and I find it harder to control my anxiety. I am still experimenting and hope that it will go. It is hard work though :-)
I am sorry I mumbled a lot, but it helps me to talk about it and I hope it helps you too to see that it's not only you.
Regards
