am I the only one

[lucy88]

When I go out I feel like my legs are gonna give way or im loosing balance it sonetimes happens when im at home in the house but its scaring me :(

[GYDA]

Nope, I used to get this a lot, thought it was some kind of medical reason why my legs were so weak! But just like most anxiety symptoms, once you realize its just anxiety and forget about it abit it goes on it's own :p

[GYDA]

Not that I know of, anxiety causes so many symptoms I think doctors would struggle to explain how anxiety causes such things like weak legs. When I was going through my first patch of anxiety, before I got diagnosed, I just remember walking through a shopping center and just feeling like my legs are going to give way at any point, had to keep sitting down. Then I went into a dark small shop and had my second anxiety attack (Didn't know it was that at the time, so ended up making a dash the doors gasping for air haha) Which is when I went to A&E and he explained it was an anxiety attack I had and that all the symptoms i've been having (including weak legs) we're caused by anxiety too.

I get something similar in my legs but only if I've sat down for a while and got anxious I find it impossible to stand up sometimes I think that's quite similar

[rhar]

Omg yes I get this ALL the time. Have now for almost 2 years accompanied by a "I'm going to pass out" feeling. It sucks and I just can't shake it... Had it all day today and caused a huge attack

I get this too. If I'm out to dinner I panic thinking "I don't think I'll be able to walk out if here when the time to leave comes"

Yeah that's exactly what it is, I normally spend the last 10 minutes of any meeting worrying about what to do when it ends

I'm not even sure if dizzy is the right word to describe it. It's this very odd feeling in my head which affects my vision and my ability to concentrate. It almost feels like my brain is moving or being squeezed and I feel like I'm going to pass out. I try to distract myself when this happens but it's hard and sometimes it consumes me!!!
