Answer 1

My dear, the fact that you realize you are under stress is the first step to getting some help. An abundance of stress can very well increase the potential for depression and the body physically reacts to the stress - stress is unrest (dis-ease) of the mind - and it has to show itself somewhere - usually in our bodies. We cry, we become aggessive, we fight with our friends and family, we become physically ill - headaches, we often put ourselves in position to be physically hurt, because we are not paying attention (last week, I sprain my knee only because I was stressed out about something else and didn't pay attention to what I was doing). I also know that because you are dealing with a sick parent, you are dealing with a double-dose of issues. Let me tell you how I helped to remedy my situation - that's all I can speak to. First, I got myself in position to be quiet, meditative. If you have to leave home to go somewhere and do this - do it. You need to allow your mind and body to connect once again. Breathe. Slow deep breaths. Get yourself some aromtherapy candles, warm bath, green tea and just rest. You need to practice this a few times a week, if not once a day. It's called solitude - allowing your mind and body to reconnect and allow you to revitalize yourself and get your energy back. If you have not had a physical in a while, take care of that. You need to know that your body is in good working condition and free from any unknown or unforeseen situations that 'you' can't determine. Do you take time for yourself with friends? Do you treat yourself to a movie? dinner? do you stop and read a book just for yourself? If not, you need to find time for you. I took care of my mom for a long time. My sister and I. Eventually, she had 4 strokes and I had surgery - all because we were stressed trying to keep mom out of the nursing home. We wanted to care for her ourselves - yet we had families. It was hard for both of us - and eventually, mom and dad passed away - but through it all - we still had to have a life for us. You need to do that. Your physical, emotional and mental health are at stake. You dont' mention if you have any religious affiliation, but the peace of God is always present - we just need to look for it. Please feel free to email me. I don't mind discussing it further.

Answer 2

Not knowing this is exactly what's wrong with scaring people. Hurt people hurt people. Fear isolates and tells us we're helpless. Fear is what makes a religion designed to help man become a bastion of ambition for ruthless frightened men who understand nothing of love and desire power above all else. It is only by love that one can fully submit to the divine and fear has no place. Submission by fear isn't salvation or enlightenment. The behavior created may seem like the objective but the objective was never about actions or words, the objective was, is and always will be love. Until one understands this, both in giving and accepting, there can be no enlightenment and there is nothing similar to salvation or hope.

bad day, forhet about it move on. yes, I've felt like this, exhaustion.
u sound abit tired from stress so maybe (if u can a change of scenery for a few days will do u good) wether staying with a friend, or somewhere a couple of hours away, anything! if u can go by the sea-side even better. sea air always refreshes. also take a strong multi-vitamin, plus magnesium on empty stoamch in the morning(ask health shop advisor to tell you wether you can take them all together), & calcium as separate from magnesium. & vitamin C (eat tangerines, oranges etc best source). this will make u feel stronger in body & u'll be able 2 cope with stress better & if u can afford it 5HTP (is quite expensive).
we all have stress honey! so don't start labelling urself.
with luv
merry xmas

Hi, I agree that it sounds like you had a panic attack, these can come on suddenly and unexpectedly in times of stress or upset even if you've never had one before. Some of the symptoms include dizziness, sweating, shaking, hyperventilating, paleness, clammy, sweaty hands, feeling weak and/or sick, pounding heartbeat, thoughts that you might be sick or dying, a feeling of utter dread, there are many more symptoms and it is different for everyone, but although they can be terrifying, they cannot harm you, the overbreathing adds to the dizziness etc and and can make you feel faint, but nobody has ever had lasting physical illness because of panic attacks. Deep breathing and relaxation techniques can be a big help, research this yourself or ask to be refered to a counsellor or someone you can talk to about the stresses in you life and how to cope with them. Don't worry about what happened, it is a common reaction for your body to react in this way to mental stress, you are not crazy or abnormal in any way. Best wishes.

(I have experienced many panic attacks, but talking about my problems and how to cope helped me a lot.)

Answer 5

I have for sure felt this way before. These all seem like classic symptoms of anxiety/panic disorder. I have it myself. Sometimes I feel so dizzy I cant stand. Knees go weak, I feel sick to my stomach, I start shaking like a leaf etc. Its not a great feeling but you can make it through-promise. One thing I did was talk to a counselor. i also try to keep my stress levels down and try to decompress at the end of the day.
Another option that you would have is to go to biofeedback theraphy. A friend of mine with the same disorder has successfully go into this treatment.
I do agree with another poster in that you should visit a doctor.
The best way to avoid these attacks are to cuut your caffeine intake and get plenty of rest. Best wishesto you and your mom.

Answer 6

Well first of all what made your mother fall? What kind of heat are you using to keep warm, if both of you have balance trouble and dizziness then maybe it is the gas heating, if that is what you use.
or you could of had a panic attack, I have had depression for years and have had several panic attacks and I have passed out with some of them.
Make sure you see your doctor because no one can diagnosis you but the MD. Hope you feel better soon.

Answer 7

Oh hun you hit a soft spot for me. I think most of your sypmtons are from your mental stress. Take a day for yourself and get some good rest. Eat some good nourishing food that you enjoy. Relax and watch a movie and try to just let things not worry you so much for once. Stop over analyzing everything in your life. If your feelings persist definatley check in with a Dr or Nurse and pick their brain or schedule an appt. Good luck xoxo

Answer 8

My love, you sound lovely. Your words give me the impression youhave been under stress for a long time. Why donät you go to the doctor and maybe ask for advice. It seems to me it could be your life situation. Too much responsibility, worries. You certainly need some support and I wish you could open yourself with someone and talk about it.

Answer 9

you should see the doctor....both of you are probably depressed. you might just have the flu but the way you are feeling you need to be sure. you might consider seeing a counselor for the depression. this time of year there is a higher number of people who are depressed. then get enough rest, eat right and try to get some exercise. good luck

Answer 10

Could be the start of a bug but also sounds like it might be stress related.Either way get your GP to check you over if you don't feel any better tomorrow.
