weird sensation in the head

...See more hi, i suffer from general anxiety disorder and c-ptsd. on some days I get this weird feeling like dizziness all of a sudden. dizziness is actually not a very accurate word here but it's the closest - it's more like how we blink and it gets dark for a moment until we open our eyes, not even a milisecond, right? sometimes i get this feeling where in every movement i feel like my brain is blinking. i think it happens after a night with bad dreams, or after stressful situations, but there are times it happens almost completely randomly. it becomes hard to move because i feel like i'll lose my balance and fall, it gets me disoriented. sometimes half a xanax helps it as prescribed, sometimes it comes back during the day. sometimes it lasts for days, sometimes it's just ten minutes. i think it's because of GAD but i wanted to ask if anybody else experiences this.

...See more i'm so tired of having this weird feeling in my head, like pressure, like dizziness, i don't know what to call it. i'm so tired of trying to show up. i'm so tired of trying to feel better. i'm so tired of trying to keep opening up and not shut myself down. i'm so tired of being afraid to leave the house because i don't trust my body to carry me to where i have to be. i'm so tired of coughing and crying, feeling like i'll throw up in a second and keep that feeling for some time, i'm so tired of trying to distract myself, so tired of trying to stay grounded. so tired of trying to be healthy and still feeling ugly. i'm so tired of trying to hold on. maybe i never got over it in the first place, maybe this is the new thing, but i'm tired of feeling sick. and tired of pretending not to feel sick. i'm tired and i just don't want to be anymore. i'm tired of dreaming and then thinking who am i to dream and plan, when the day comes it'll just be hard to step out my apartment. i'm tired of trying to find the words for all this because this is merely telling it. i just want to close my eyes and sleep until i feel better, then start a new life.

Recurring dreams

...See more Hi everyone, I was in an abusive relationship 8 years ago. Later I found out it was all kinds of abuse, and although I was able to help myself on physical and sexual parts, psychological part seems to have stuck with me. And that he was a narcissist. Lately I have been having dreams almost a few nights a week, where I'm back together with him and plotting to leave. Events are different every time but the feeling and the theme are the same. These recurring dreams are new. It would happen every now and then, but lately it's too many. I feel like I'm reliving the last few months of that relationship over and over again, a few nights every week. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any insights on what's happening?
