When I go to the mall, my hands ge sweaty, my head starts to ache, and my vision starts to blur and darken. I have NO idea why this happens, but I can't be inside of a mall any longer than 45 minutes or all of these symptoms arise. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to shop, but does anyone else have this?
I think its called derealization/depersonalization (sp.?). It is part of anxiety. You can look it up on the web and see if it sounds like what is happening to you. Good Luck.
I get that when I walk into a shopping centre or down a busy street, but ONLY when I am on my own, which I dont do much.
How can I overcome this stupid pointless attack, which ,makes me uncomfotabley sweaty and scared, it really gets on my ****.
Hey Girl,
I've had it for years. I have Panic/Anxiety & Agoraphobia, I won't go on w/the list, anyway, it's happened to me by myself and w/other people. In the mall, in the gro store, at home....most everywhere. I will have to say - I don't get it as often at home, therefore, I tend to stay home more.
It sucks but meds, self help books, therapy, and relaxation tapes have helped enormously. I've done alot of reading on the net as well.
Really wish you the best,
Bevlep
