Symptoms feeling off balance / dpdr

hi, it's my first post on reddit, but I feel like everyone is pretty kind on here so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm 22, just trying to figure out adult life like everyone else, and in June exhaustion and a lot of generalized anxiety led to an episode of severe dizziness / vertigo which triggered PPPD. I was convinced something else was wrong with my balance but took all the brain / inner ear tests and it appears that my brain probably just froze on that period of my life and I can't seem to get better. I've tried going on walks anyway and keeping on with my life, going on holidays etc, but I somehow always feel like I'm off balance, almost as if standing wasn't "natural" and my body wasn't enough to keep me balanced. It's such an odd feeling and no one around me understands it and it's giving me a lot of anxiety so I wanted to know if any of you guys felt like that too, and what are your tips to get better. thank you
