Falling: Is it psychosis?

Is the sensation of falling a symptom of psychosis? It feels like I am falling or going to fall.

I searched around the internet this morning to find an answer to my question and I was unable to find anything that sounded even remotely related to this sensation. Has anyone else experienced this?

Standing, it feels like the floor is falling out from under me and I am going down with it. Sitting, it feels like someone has pulled the chair out from under me. Lying in bed, it feels as if the bed has dropped through the floor and I am along for the ride.

I have been experiencing this for a couple of weeks now and it is becoming extremely annoying. When someone walks across the floor, the vibration makes me feel like I am going to fall. I have an increased sensitivity to my movements and the movements of others around me. I have a constant fear of falling now, regardless of what I am doing.

This is not the first time I have had symptoms of psychosis involving touch, but it is the first time I have had this particular sensation. I don’t feel dizzy or weak at the knees-I feel like the floor collapses underneath me and I drop a few feet. I wanted to mention that so I am not bombarded with suggestions that this could be vertigo. It isn’t. I have had issues with vertigo before when I have been dehydrated or dealing with anemia. This is something totally different. The room doesn’t spin, it doesn’t get dark suddenly and I don’t see those little blue specks in front of my eyes.

If you have experienced this, please let me know. I am pretty sure this is psychosis but I cannot find anyone else who has dealt with this particular issue.

Before it is suggested, I am making an appointment with my doctor tomorrow to have the dosage of my medication changed.

The sky is falling!
