jelly legs

how do you deal with jelly legs and that unbalanced sensation? I feel like I am going to fall down and it has caused extreme agoraphobia.
I also feel like I am going to pass out, does anyone else experience this?

Hello!Yes I experience this also.In fact these are my biggest symptoms.I'll feel off balanced and sometimes I'll spin for a few seconds.This was scaring me bad.I kept calling the Dr.and he'd just keep reassuring me that it was my anxiety.This really has to do with how sensatized our nerves have become.You have to start with your thoughts first.What I'm trying to do is not to worry about these feelings and just float with them.It seems to be working.Believe me I was so bad that I couldn't leave my house for almost 2 years.I started making myself go out very little a couple of months ago.This really happens when I am out in public.That's what agoraphobia does.Don't be afraid of these sensations.I know how hard that is but if we want to stop letting these feelings take us over we have to just go with it and not try and fight them.You won't pass out.Just remember to take a deep breath and let your body relax.What helps me when I'm in a store I always grab a cart.That really does help with the falling down feeling.Don't give up what ever you do.Keep going out because if you stop going places believe me you'll still have to deal with it someday and it's ten times harder.Just keep telling yourself that it's just anxiety and that it really can't hurt you know matter how weird you feel.Don't let it win!We are stronger than this!I've wasted 12 years thinking this way.Only we can stop it and we can.Believe God and you will have victory!I wish you well.God Bless

try, taking deep breaths, you know the ones we have been taught to do in this course...really, take a deep breath, hold it, and then let it out through your mouth...slowly, try this maybe three times. also, say, " it is only anxiety. it wont kill me."...it helps,...really try it..
its all Lucinda. have faith...in her and yourself.

Now my dizzyness is almost gone. Because I work at merging the "RELAXATION" tecniqes into my daily activities. Plus using the relaxation tapes daily.
I'm on tape 7 and have listened to the "RELAXITION" tape over 50 times.I continue to improve every day.
