Does anyone else go from one extreme to another in seconds?

[Camanja05]

I have been doing so well for about a week. Taking walks in the sunshine, eating yummy food, just generally well. Then out if nowhere earlier, while cooking supper, I got to feeling really weird. Kind of dizzy or you know that feeling when it seems you aren't quite in reality? That and throat n* and now I'm lying down, feeling sad because I was doing so well. What causes one to go from one extreme to another so quickly. I be been in bed for a couple of hours and the n* will go away for a good ten minutes, then come back, and so on. Is this my anxiety? It am I dreadfully coming down with something?

Hey , it def sounds like anxiety because I do the same things also. It happens several times a day to me sometimes. I have a personal theory which makes sense to me ha! Basically I think that it has to do with our conditioned automatic response and hyper sensitivity to any new body feeling. What I mean is that the second we feel something so much as just a tiny but diff then what we think we should feel we automatically create throat nausea and other emet type anxiety symptoms which then cause us a great deal of fright. One way to combat this I've found is to argue with they feeling . For example if u all of a sudden feel dizzy say "no , I'm not dizzy. I may have turned my head quickly or got up too fast, but I am not dizzy and have no reason to be anxious because there is nothing wrong. " keep arguing and reasoning with yourself and it will go away.

Hope this helped

Oh yes, anxiety! AND you could've had low blood sugar. It happens to me all the time, if I go for awhile without eating. Like, I HAVE to eat something every couple of hrs ..even if i dont feel hungry. I get shaky and dizzy, and ..scared! Glad you are okay.

Thanks guys. It just really freake me out! I was a snacker when I was a kid. But this phobia killed my ability to snack throughout the day. Maybe I should atleast try so it will keep my blood sugar normal.

I find the worst anxiety attacks happen when things are great, my guard is down. When things aren't great I kind of expect them and they don't hit me as hard if I am prepared.
