I feel the same, first thing I check and think about is if I am dizzy.

I really understand you. A few months ago I started having again really bad anxiety with dizziness as one of my worst symptoms. Really difficult for me to understand why this happens. It should get better soon

@JanAtheCPA I really love reading your posts. I also feel that living with anxiety for so many years makes progress more difficult. And I also felt that pandemic made me feel a big setback after a period of good progress.

It si funny that I have too found that when driving I don’t feel dizzy, even when feeling dizzy at every moment

I like reading a lot. For example, Jon Kabat Zinn (full catastrophe living), Tara Brach (radical Acceptance), Russ Harris (the happiness trap) or Steven C Hayes (get out of your mind and into your life), Deb Dana (polivagal theory), Peter Levine .... Maybe I read too much

I try to realize those are just thoughts, you don't even have to beleive them, they don't have to be true. I just let them go, I imagine them as words getting out of my head and going far away. ACT therapy helped me a lot. Steven C Hayes and Russ Harris books are really good

It's really important that you follow your doctor instruccions. I took ativan too for 3 months and currently taking an SSRi for anxiety, in my case at least I really needed, I am also doing therapy, reading a lot and practice exposure to get better. It's a combination of all these tools.

During all these years I have tried to find different ways to heal. I found out that I usually tense my body automatically, and I find also helpful what you explain about stopping. And realize how is your body, are you tensing your jaw, neck, shoulders, belly? I also like doing body scans, and...

This is good advice... I feel it's like my nervous system is now hypervigilant. I have always had some kind of anxiety but could do ok with my life.. now since September I started to feel really bad anxiety and then I felt like dizzy all day (felt that I was going to faint when talking to...

Thank you so much Jan, I will read that information for sure. I feel I have been dealing with this symptom for so long that I keep looking for answers and ways to heal or help. I also realize that because of how I work, I tend to look for lot of information but then I am not good at taking it...

Hi, I have had dizziness for many years, it usually comes and goes. I got tested and everything was fine. I also suffer from anxiety. My dizziness is closely related to anxiety. In fact since September I started very bad anxiety ( I had to start taking medication ) and I felt dizzy all day. I...
