Lousy Day

16 years ago 0 +0 / -0 823

Hi CM, First of all, I'm glad you and your mom feel better after chatting. As for the dizzy spells - there can be many different causes. Anything from an inner ear infection to low blood sugar to high stress can cause dizziness. Did your doctor rule out all these possibilities? Seeing a psychiatrist isn't a bad idea, and don't feel bashful about expressing your concerns to find a suitable solution. If the dizziness persists, go see a doctor again. Hope you feel better, Faryal, Health Educator

Hi Ya Miki:

Thanks for your words of comfort, but it's another lousy day. In fact I have felt dizzy on & off for about 3 days now. I have been to see 2 doctors and they say they can't find anything wrong with me. In fact the one I say today said I'm not dizzy according to her very brief exam. I asked her I don't get it I feel dizzy, but I'm not, so I just think I'm dizzy? She said yes. This is very frustrating, she told me that anxiety can do at lot to you and that I should be taking meds. I told her I was terrified of the possible side effects, she said that's only if you keep taking them - dah. Isn' t that the point to keep taking them?

She said to see my family doctor and get a referral to a psychiatrist.

Has anyone ever had dizzy spells that your doctor can't explain?

Hey CM,

I'm glad you got to work things out with your mom. I've tried even reading the HW and such on this site to my husband before so that he can get a clearer picture... you should try involving your mom to it too. But even though I involved him in it, he never got it... so we have to accept in one way that people really won't get it until they go through it themselves. But great that you guys worked it out and said each other's feelings.. Don't give up on each other!!!

I know what i'll write is really hard to believe when you are in the situation, but keep in mind that the anticipation is more difficult than the actual thing. You can do it!!

Take care.

Hi Ya Faryal:

Thank-you for your reply. I did tell my mum how it made me feel, we both are ok now.

As for the feelings you see I haven't worked since last Jan , so the self-esteem is next to nothing. Almost every morning I get up with a felling of something missing & I just can't put my finger on it. I can only describe it as I don't feel right.

I am going to a relaxation course every Monday after class until December, it's for 2 hours. You see since the panic disorder I haven't been able to relax much, I always have to do something. So I'm hoping this class will really help me & maybe the anxiety, agitation, depression will start to dissipate.

Hi CM, I think that in her own unique way your mom is trying to be supportive. She does not understand what you are going through and how it feels to have an anxiety attack, unless she has gone through it herself. I'm sorry her reaction made you feel like a failure but you know this is not true. Perhaps you could approach your mother to clarify the situation. Express to her your feelings in a calm and rational way. It is obvious that you both never meant to hurt or upset each other. Was there something that triggered you to feel agitated, depressed and panicky today? Faryal, Health Educator

Hi Ya All:

Not a good day, very agitated, depressed and panicky.

Take just now I was trying to access an on-line course and couldn't & I had an anxiety attack. My mum said to me that I get upset very easy. Well I told my best pal that she doesn't realize mentally what I have gone through this past year and that her saying that made me feel like a failure. So now my mum said she is just going to sit and not talk because she doesn't know the right thing to say anymore. She's right I get easily upset & then I get more upset with myself for getting upset, it's a vicious circle.

I feel so bad & mum does too.
