View Full Version : I hate it when...
I'll be walking around the shopping centre and all of a sudden I feel woozy and feel like my legs won't work!! It drives me mad! They have never stopped working and I've never passed out but I can never shake the feeling in that moment that I will... Grrrrrrrrrrr

I get this feeling too. Like you have to force yourself to keep your legs moving & they feel really weak?
It's hard, but just have to tell yourself that they're not going to buckle & that you can walk. It is a horrible feeling in that moment though.
Yep and sometimes my head feels so heave like I will fall over!! I try to tell myself nothing will happen but sometimes it doesn't matter!!

I know how you feel. It's easy enough to say "It's okay, nothing is going to happen" when you feel fine, but when it's happening it's bloody scary!

I know exactly how you feel! In fact, the light headedness, heave headedness, dizziness, is my worst symptom of anxiety.
I will wake up in the morning feeling pretty ok then as soon as I start thinking about all the journeys I need to make (I have a huge problem with driving) I will feel my neck beginning to ache, my temples go tight and the woozy feeling kicks in. I have started breathing properly and visualising the muscles in my neck and head relaxing and it seems to be helping. Like today, I was in a busy shop and I could feel my head beginning to tighten, so I immediately breathed in for four seconds and out for six, repeating in my head, 'let the muscles in your neck and head droop and release'. In a few seconds the feeling had lifted. Try it, it might work for you too. Let us know how you get on. Xxxx
Yep I've got the lightheadedness and dizziness now at work :(
