Hi jsquared: I've never had those symptoms. Mostly from running errands, I would feel agitated and maybe breathless. I needed to get grounded again and not feel the overwhelming feelings of doing too many things at the same time. When you get those foggy feelings, perhaps a little time out to do some relaxation exercise for 5 minutes or so, or some breathing exercise for 5 minutes, might bring things back into focus, relax your thoughts, your mind and your body at the same time. Or just close your eyes for a minute or two and be mindful of what is happening, a quick body scan to see where it might be tense, try and release the tension in those muscles. Just some ideas,
Today I started noticing some of my symptoms that feed into my anxiety and panic and would like to share. Today has been alright with the anxiety, probably around a 1 or 2. I had a friend drive me up to the college to get a progress report signed and then to Worksource to get it faxed, only because I don't have transportation at the moment and didn't feel like taking the bus because that would have taken a lot longer and it's cold outside. After coming back from running the errands, which took about half an hour, I started feeling a little more confused. The feelings and thoughts that I start having are that something(my life included) feels or seems like its out of order, weird, misplaced, it's actually pretty hard for me to try and describe it but I guess these will do for now. And I just feel like my head is foggy, I can't think as clearly as usual, and don't feel like my usual focused self. I do not do any sort of drugs and am not on any medications other than the insulin I take for my diabetes, which wouldn't cause these feelings. I just wanted to get this off my chest and see what anyone here on the forums has to say.
