Very informative about the basics.
When I used to tell my mum about my dizziness fatigue and pain she used to say you have lost your confidence that's all.
I never used to understand what that meant

Morning from Az, Jim,
This subject tugs at my ❤️. For me… and for so many here that are looking for help with fear. I work on levels 1 and two together most times. And I was just reading on the web site about “ extinguishing fear”. Its so clear that this drives the whole process yes? Symptoms.. anxiety attacks etc. My last couple weeks went into that loop of symptom( dizziness, like yours Jim) anxiety….. more symptom, more fear, more symptom, etc. I became more unstable, more housebound, and had many of the thoughts you mention here.
I think this is where a really experienced Therepists, support at home and encouragement really helps. I do have a Therapist I can afford, (🙏), but I also rely on Anxiety Center self help to teach me.
Along with my prayers to God all week about fear. Just that one word…. Fear.
Thank you for being here Jim,
AND Anxiety Center.

I have a question sir I was diagnosed with Generalized anxiety disorder if I decide to take antidepressants and get therapy I can't overcome my disorder if I take medication?

How many people you see have constant muscle tension yes it moves over the years from globus to chest to shoulders but mine is there all the time some times are worse than others very hard to accept the pain
