when you are feeling anxious

Posted on 01/04/09, 08:13 am

How to you reconize that you are becoming anxious?

When I pace back and forth and I am inside that shows mild anxity.

If confronted by someone that makes me anxious I will talk to fast.

If in extreme distress. I will burn all over like I am on fire or complete shut down and have no response to anything.

  I get irritable, little things bother me, and if someone gets cranky with me, unfortunately I crank right back.

  I start to feel very dizzy, like I have to hang on to something.

  I get very quiet and shut down. I tend to withdraw into myself and want to be alone. I also get very fidgetty and cant concentrate on anything important.

  Nervousness, can't stop talking, argumentative/snappy, can't catch my breath, hot, nausea, light headedness/dizziness, feeling a need to get away from all people, crying if it gets bad enough.

  I can feel my heart 'rolling' in my chest.
  
  I can't breathe..........I gasp for air.
