Anxiety
Hiya,
In the last few weeks i've started to get a real anxious feeling when i go out. It really has started to affect my balance and walking in a bad way. So much so i sometimes find i'd be better getting a wheelchair now. I know it's anxiety though making me worse..........anyone else get this?
I take Citalopram already and i'm usually a pretty calm person!
They say that the first thing you need to do to solve a problem is to acknowledge that you have a problem. That is unless the problem is anxiety. Once you're aware that an issue makes you anxious, then no matter what you think, you'll still be anxious. Would a walking stick provide the reassurance that you require? You can get some really snazzy ones these days.
Yeah i've got a stick anyway but even so, it's not helping. Think it's the fact i get footdrop and that gets worse too when i'm anxious......scared of falling over you see.
