sorry, I dont mean to post so many questions, but does anyone have moments where you just feel really weak and sick??? I have been getting that alot and then it starts to scare me, its just like a generalize weakness, inside shakiness feeling, anyone else have that?????

That is part of panicking and anxiety.. That might be your body having a panick attack.. sorry my spelling is sucky.. Go to the doctor and have blood work for your own peace of mind.. you will be fine!

Angela,
Yes, I have the same exact problems! I will be walking into the store or something, and then suddenly I feel as if my limbs are rubber from a sudden "inside me" shakiness that happens. I only use going into a store as an example. To me, it happens sometimes before going places when I actually have to face annother person and communicate. Sometimes for no apparant reason when it seems everything is fine, like watching tv at night with my Fiance`, and it is more scarey then. These attacks began for me in 1987, a year before my first child was born. I also used to have like a hot veil that would draw over me while I was waling and such along with these feelings. It would make my legs go to putty, and I would actually black-out for a few seconds at times, when I did not just have to stop and put my head between my legs and wait it out. There have been times the shaking feeling has been so bad that I really can not do anything but lay there, and that is when you wonder if you really ARE going to die from this. I guess not though. From 21 years of these attacks at varring degrees of severity - even a 7 day period of paralyzation of my left side - it has not killed me yet, and when you do recognize these attacks as anxiety and address them, they tend to get easier to deal with, come less often, and at less severity. Now I just get shakey on the inside, like really on the inside and can NOT stop it, and feel suddenly weak like my legs and arms and head just will not listen and are putty, and I am detatched from myself sort of. Kind of feels like I am watching me, not being me.
I am glad you asked about this. I have listened to peole talk about these attacks for 21 years, but never ventured enough to discuss them. It is scarey isn't it? Do you sometimes feel like you're just so busy getting through these attacks and such that there is nothing left of you to go around for everything else? I do. Sometimes I feel so given out from these attacks that I just can not do 1 more thing today. But I always do. Then I can't figure out how the next day. but I have too much time to think too. I am just figuring that out.

yes I agree those feelings are your anxiety......if youve been to the doctor and all is ok then your mind has just realized that this scares you and so it keeps doing it.

I get that sick sinking feeling and my mind wants to start the oh my gosh what if its really something this time.....but its always my anxiety or the fact that Im too tired. When I eat right and get good sleep I feel better.

Hang in there....try to cut the sugars down and eat healthy meals full of protien. Protein is what will give you the energy to endure the day.
Protein comes from meat and dairy products, soy, tofu, Im not a huge lover of the soy or tofu so I stick to my meat and dairy. LOL

Youll be ok......these feelings are just a bad habit that you can and will break.
