I know anxiety can do some freaky things but when I get bad or have a sudden surge of it my head feels strange like full dizzy hard to describe it just feels strange which gets me more anxious, Does anyone get this feeling???? Thanks

Yes I get this alot, it seems that it happens in the 2nd half of the month for me. I just kinda stop what I am doing and it passes. Sometimes my head just for a breif moment feels big and full and then that goes away in about a min. or two.
Oh the Joys of womenhood. Have a GREAT DAY.

my head feels funny so often. Anxiety does weird things like you said. I can feel lightheaded and dizzy and disoriented for a second and hot and feel like I'm going to pass out (but I never have!!!!). Sorry you feel that way. I have such sympathy for other anxiety sufferers. It is ALWAYS nice to know someone else has felt the same thing. I even sometimes gets pressure in my head...not sure what that is...maybe allergies, maybe a weird migraine, or maybe just anxiety and tension. Not sure. I've had an MRI so I know it's not something weird or dangerous.

yes .. i get this when my period doesnt come. other things too .. twitches .. GERD .. its all so great .. its a real disorienting feeling ,, do you have a xanex prescription ?

when anxiety hits, i get this feeling for long periods at a time and feel so scared and alone that i can hardly function. i wish i could do AD'S......i've tried almost ever single one and each gave me horrid side effects, so i am strictly on xanax or i would not survive the next panic. I really get dizzy and disoriented with this also, yesterday, i was driving down a road of which i drive weekly, and i simply did not reconize it, also the road seemed alot wider and longer than it really is, that is scary. i hate anxiety, it's really stopping me from living.

Hi All

Yes I get the same. I feel like someone is rummaging in my head, sharp pains,feeling dizzy for a few seconds,feeling like my head and ears have loads of pressure in it, the lsit goes on. Its anxiety/meno related. I know have to stop wottying about it as my anxiety gets worse if it does. I tried AD's for awhile but the side effects freaked me out, they made my anxiety worse.

Where does this all end!!!!

What a life to live, I cry all the time, I just want to feel normal. It's not much to ask.

Hope you all feel better. Perhaps tommorow will be a better day.

Love and hugs to ALL of you.

I take ativan and just started to increase my Elavil

OH BOY ... the exact same thing has happened to me BooHoo..... there I was, driving along a road I'm very familiar with, and BAM....it seemed "longer" than usual, it seemed wider, and while I was driving, it seemed i was never reaching my destination! In "reality" I was driving normally, I wasn't swerving, or freaking out ... but TO ME, it SEEMED as though, the drive was taking longer than normal ... it was freaky! I remember just driving, telling myself it's okay, it will be alright, and that it was an anxiety attack, which i know it was. Then...I popped a xanax! lol ... (well, you have to do, what you have to do!) ... i did make it home just fine thank God...

Hi little lil ... yes, I have the same sensation, I also get this feeling like there is "mud" in my head, a sort of "thick" feeling in there, hard to describe. I also get dizzy, lightheaded, off balance, and totally DETACHED from my surroundings.... i just love anxiety!

OMG!!! I was going to post about this today. I have just had the hardest last few days ever. I feel like I am standing in a corner of my mind and watching everything fly around in it waiting for something drastic to happen like passing out, my head to fly off or explode. It is so hard! These are the days when I think to myself that it will never pass.

I hate feeling this way and when it sinks in it stays for a while.
I just want peace in my mind. I feel tormented.

Thank you for posting because you let me know that I am not alone. Thankfully I am not alone in this.

Hugs,

Yes,my love.The feeling is so strange that it almost makes you want to grab your mind and massage it or shake the strangeness out of it.
Anxiety is a very nasty little creature and has a way of turning up and making us feel we are nuts.
The good news is that we are not.Sometimes a small dose of anti-anxiety medicine may help but if you do not wish to go that route Yoga,deep breathing and brisks walks can help.
Also eat small frequent meals as drops in insulin can make the 'funny head' feeling worse
You are not alone.

All the best
