Anxiety about falling down

JAM2b said:

I have a great deal of anxiety about falling because I have unstable knees that dislocate. This has caused me to fall a lot in the past and have some serious injuries both to my knees and to other parts of my body.

In the last two month or so the anxiety has gotten worse. Sometimes it is physically difficult for me to force myself to walk because I start to get scared, have this sensation that I am falling, and then my body reacts as if I am falling.

I know it sounds crazy. I'm aware that it is only in my mind, but I cannot make it stop happening. It is at it's worst when there is the potential to slip like surfaces that are wet, icy, or have snow. I start to have panic attacks over it and sometimes I can't move.

I spoke with the doctor about it at the psychiatric clinic I go to, and she did not believe that it was psychological but thinks it is an equilibrium problem or a blood pressure issue. I tried to explain, but she argued with me and only wants me to monitor my blood pressure at home.

Please pray that this anxiety will be removed from me and that I can walk normally all the time.
