Anxiety related dizziness comes in many different forms and can range from annoying to downright terrifying. It can make you feel like the room is spinning, like you're off balance, or like you might fall down.

The 1 Strategy You Need to Lower Anxiety
If you're struggling with anxiety right now there's a good chance that you feel overwhelmed. You might even feel like you're headed in the wrong direction and like things might get worse.

This is where you literally try to find the simplest form of a problem to make it easier to handle. The same concept can be applied to your
Can a Panic Attack Trigger Anxiety Forever?
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." - Albert Einstein Let me take a wild guess. You're not exactly sure if you're going to get better, right? This is especially true if you were dragged into anxiety by one of those "out of the blue" panic attacks. Although not all anxiety problems are triggered by panic, many are. That was the case for me. I remember it well. A crashing wave of fear terror mixed with palpitations, dizziness, sweating and the sense that I just might not make it out
Surprise! When Anxious Being Alone Is a Horrible Idea. Here’s What To Do Instead

6 Non-Cheesy Ways to Get Rid of Fear and Self-Doubt
It's scary, isn't it? The little voice in your head telling you that you just can't do this anymore; that your anxiety is just too much to bear.

How to Overcome Your Fear of Crowds, Restaurants, and Strangers
You know that other people don't bite, right? Of course they don't. So why do people with social anxiety run around like they do? Well, if you fear other people let's start with why you're afraid. You're afraid of being judged, criticized, ridiculed or laughed at. You don't like the feeling of strangers approaching or crowds gathering. So you hide. You cower in your home.
