My anxiety has went from shaky all the time to that puddling feeling that Carolyn explains in the program. I keep checking my blood pressure and it is fine but I am scared to move around cause I feel like my body has no energy and I in it. I keep thinking that there is something wrong with my heart becuase my heart flutters and I feel a little off balance with these symptoms. I had went to the Dr. about a month ago and everything was fine plus the bloodwork. I am scared of these new symptoms so I think this may be why it stays around day and night. Can anyone give advice.

Hey Rosaslie 1, you are soo not alone with this feeling. I have dealt with this symptom since March of 2008! I had soo many tsts ran because I thought it was a number of things! That was before I knew I was dealing with. I would get these feelings of tirdness, still do at times, like a weak tiredness, and felt like at times I was going to fall to my death or pass out. I would feel off balance, legs will feel shaky, like it was hard to walk at times. Now that I know that it's just apart of this anxiety condition, it has calmed dowm tremendously. Of course I've been on an antideppressant for 2 mos., too, and I think that it has contributed to helping my body sensations. I still get the off balance/puddling feeling, but it's no where near or as often as it had been. I still get a little scared at times when it happens, but now being in my 5th wk of the program, I have the tools to work through it, and I know what it is. So you will be fine, it's just anxiety, don't give up!!

Rosalie,
I'm so glad to hear that other people have the 24/7 issues. I do have panic attacks, but I also have hours and hours of feeling weak, dizzy, off center, impending doom, exhausted, anxious, etc. I am really hoping that I will be able to change my thinking enough that these feelings recede. It is VERY hard to function right now.
