I just want it to go away completely, no anxiety sounds amazing to meIm afraid to go outside. It seems it is the worst when I am outside. It all seems like a dream and that everything is either really close or really far away, the light seems to intensify the feeling. It really sucks. It lasts all day long. It doesnt go away. There are some points throughout the day that are worse then others but for the most part its just a constant "in a fog" "spacey" ANNOYING SCARY feeling that WONT go away. Walking and riding a bike, mowing the lawn is SO SO SO SO hard. I keep feeling like something is seriously wrong with me, I keep saying to myself, "how could this all be from anxiety?" I like to hear other people are in the same boat as me, as selfish and mean as that sounds, just so I know I'm not losing my mind and dieing. This has been such a struggle and it's been going on for 2 months of CONSTANT "SPACE" feeling. ENOUGH already. if other people are going through this, can you please share what your doing to get by?

Hi Katie Lee_18 and others,
I have experienced some of the same symthoms and had come to find they were problems that were not associated with stress and anxiety, but came across that way. I spoke to my doctor a couple of years ago after having some dizziness and feeling faint while on the job and under other circumstances. It turns out I was diagnosed as having Virtigo, where there are 'crystals' in my inner ear that give me a dizzy feeling. The only way I have to deal with it is to lay on my side for 15-20 minutes on each side a day and it is under control. I often sleep on my side, and have not had the problem since. Recently I really wanted to do something about my feeling of tiredness, thinking it was medication, but looking back further and realizing this was something I was experiencing all of my life. I spoke to a pharmacist and we both agreed I needed to take more multivitimins since I did not have the best diet in the world. Once I started taking multivitimins, I felt better right away with more energy and less lethargy. Realize it is possible that what you are feeling may not be related to anxiety. But I can say for sure the anxiety I have felt caused me to feel shaky, nervous, scared, suicidal, etc. Addressing the very thing that made me feel nervous helped all of these feelings to go away.

Re: Weird feelings/body symptoms
I've been having trouble lately with my essential tremors with my head and hands. I've noticed that when I socialize it becomes quite worse and I can barely speak sometimes. It has become very embarassing to me to the point that I avoid social settings even going to workout which is my favorite past time. Not sure what is wrong with me, all I know is that I want to have a tremor free life and become a normal person.
