New glasses usually requires a small adjustment period.
First, the lenses do distort the image you see. Off center, straight lines may appear curved. The brain will adjust, both by accepting the curvature and by causing you to look through the optical center by moving your head instead of only your eyes.
Second, you're eyes are likely not exactly equal. So, with glasses you can have equal vision out of both eyes. Upon removal, you eyes are fighting a little bit.
Eventually, you'll probably feel like your eyes are worse without glasses than they were before, but that's just due to knowing your new-found clear vision.
There are a couple of other possible effects, but without knowing your prescription, it's hard to say.

New glasses, or a big change in glasses Rx, can take some getting used to but your response seems quite marked.
Give it no more than a week for the eyes to settle and become comfortable. If there are still problems at that point the set of the frame or the Rx itself is likely to need adjustment. This should have been explained by whoever supplied the glasses, especially for a first ever pair.
In many ways it's like going to drive a new car: the controls and pedals are a little differently set, even if they are better, and it has to feel somewhat odd for a while.
With a new glasses Rx the eyes are inevitably making slighly different alignment coordination and accommodation adjustments, even if the vision is clearer. That should settle quickly but if it doesn't, don't accept that you have to wear them for weeks and weeks to acclimatise. A week is plenty in almost all cases where there is nothing wrong.

Same thing happened with my first pair. Sudden head movements would make me dizzy. It took about a week to get used to them, but I just could not see without them. By the way, if you buy them online, you can save a lot of money.

It takes 2 weeks for a person to adjust to glasses.
At first, you'll start feeling dizziness, headaches....n nuaseus.

I've been wearing glasses since i was a kid. when an new prescription was obtained it took an while to get used to it. your obviously not used to the glasses. give it a little time with everyday wear and you"ll be seeing good in no time.
PS there is nothing wrong with you, :)

Are the Glasses aligned properly? did you bend the frame and not know it. This might make a difference. Either that you need to slowly adapt to your new glasses
