Anyone else has this?

So much Overwhelming physical and emotional symptoms.

I was talking to my therapist online 2 minutes ago and had to stop talking a lot, I was feeling nauseous in head and body and had this compression feeling in head with some pressure and I just started to swing my legs a lot and suddenly felt a bit woozy & that I was gonna throw up and started to sweat a little. She said it sounds like the edge of a panic attack but I always feel like I can’t talk much nowadays, my body starts to tense and brace, and I feel all my movements and my body so much, and even the thought of talking or doing something makes me feel symptomatic and hold my breath. I stop right in the track of doing things. How come even thinking of doing something is inducing symptoms??? 😭😭😭😭

I feel so alone, would anyone like to make a group chat where we only give each other positive feedback. I feel like no one understands 😭 I am only 23 and just feel terrible. Zoloft had helped on 37.5, but my symptoms came back 2 months back and the increase in dose (50mg) also really didn’t do enough. I went to a neurologist and he thinks it’s depression and anxiety and thought all my symptoms were too intense or unusual to be Vestibular migraine. I do know I had pppd (rocking, dizzy, etc.) but Zoloft helped with that. Now, I feel like even talking is hard, and I can feel my limbs so deeply, like I can feel my legs and arms laying or when I move them, I can feel the movement everywhere. I feel like I am getting so sad again and nothing makes me truly happy anymore. I am crying daily from a week. I am going to meet with a psychiatrist to discuss medication. But my neurologist said to either go up on dose further to 75mg or add an SNRI.

Any tips? Tricks to feel happy?

🥹😭 I always get doubts about if I even still have PPPD and VM, because my symptoms are not even related and are so intense. It did start with vertigo and daily dizziness and internal rocking (so pppd made sense) but Zoloft helped. I am not taking anything for VM though.

A neurologist yesterday said my symptoms are way more than VM could be and he said it is anxiety and depression causing you to create symptoms. So, if they are all neuroplastic, they can get better without meds, right?

I was in a terrible shape and Zoloft really helped last year but most of my symptoms came back 2 and a half months back and increased the dose to help me.

But my symptoms are like, when I move my arm to grab something, the rest of my body , like hips and legs start to feel a bit heavy or pressurized and then my arms movement feels so wrong and disgusting, I just stop right away. I also am unable to talk much because as soon as I talk, my body starts to brace, like toes start scrunching or pushing feet in ground, head starts to feel kinda compressed and little pressure (sometimes even that terrible car sickness feeling in head even though I am not in car or doing any motion) and just overall disgusting terrible feeling that I start making weird faces and making a fist or grabbing my fingers tightly, etc. this also happens even if I think about talking or doing something. I am always rocking my legs just to even talk and every thing feels so pressurized and I can just feel every single movement and my body limbs so I can never relax. The dizziness is much better now, basically 95% better but these other symptoms are sooooo overwhelming, I cry daily and maybe getting depressed. Even without moving or doing anything, I feel like I need to hold my breath, keep arms really close to me, and I just feel so bad all the time.

As soon as I wake up, I can feel all my body limbs (like they are just kinda heavily laying there, and I can’t stop focusing on it and instead twist as turn my body or brace to feel better)

Intense Distraction kinda helps

How to calm yourself and stop rushing everything and pacing. Days seem so long, I want to enjoy my life

Someone linked this video in a post I made and I just got around to watching it, and I would highly recommend! Please share your thoughts and tips below to motivate each other!!! Really going through a rough time right now 🥹

What do y’all’s day look like. Don’t know if it’s just me but when I am distracted I feel much better, but honestly don’t feel like doing stuff some times because I am so symptomatic (even symptoms other than dizziness)

* has any specific activity helped you feel better?
* days feel so long and depressing sometimes, what do you guys do?
* Even my arms, legs and hips feel so weird and unnatural and “off” that I just don’t wanna do anything because my arms feel weird and I start to panic or hold my breath. I keep moving my legs back and forth to do stuff or feel better or adjusting my positions… my body just doesn’t feel normal physically

Anyone has symptoms other than dizziness, maybe more of nervous system dysfunction or FND… or something 🥹

-Stumbling or rushing when talking, wanting to stop talking. So bad sometimes, that I start to scrunch my face, shoulders and make weird faces, or pull my skin or push my hands hard tighter
-Pushing against sofa, floor, pushing against anything to feel better
-Heaviness and “off” uncomfortable feeling in limbs, hips and head (hyper vigilance to it)… keep on twisting and turning the body and adjusting positions to try to feel better
-Sometimes, really painful arms
-Really bad, uncountable and overwhelming feeling in head, which makes it impossible to do tasks
-Wanting to pace
-Even just thinking of doing something brings on symptoms
-Arms and legs feel very tensed, and hard to relax
-Moving arms sometimes feel so Effortful, and I can feel all the movements, wanting to cry

Anyone else feel really really painful arms and they become heavy, along with the head and whole body.
I just got vertigo/ dizziness really bad last night.

Would anyone like to hangout if they are in Woodbridge, Virginia or Fairfax, Virginia. It can feel really lonely when no one really understands what you are going through. Btw, I am 23F, would prefer to meet up with any other females.
