When I am anxious, It feels like Im dying. I get horrible knots in my stomach and chest. I feel like I could pass out at any moment. It is a horrible feeling. All I want to do is escape the physical assocation.

Hang in there. Try some breathing exercises. It can be really hard to focus in the middle of an attack... its important to take it easy. The feeling will pass.

Sending good thoughts your way.

Yes, I have had that feeling and know it well. It's callled disassociation and sometimes the anxiety can be so severe that one might even forget one's name for a short period. Tell yourself that it's anxiety and will pass and take your meds. Try concentrating on something else other than yourself, telling yourself as it seems to overtake you that it's temporary and will go away. Whatever you do don't let it increase your fear. Anxiety loves fear like a fire loves fuel. The less fuel the less anxiety. Good luck and all the best

yes I get this especially when I am in therapy and get stressed. I can be talking then all of a sudden I go blank and I cant remember what I have been talking about. its scary

Yeah, I get dizzy, my heart starts to race, my feet and hands go numb...it is very scary and it sucks.

What i try to do is remember that I know what it is and I'm not going to die. Usually walking around helps. Curling into a ball is the worst thing I could do.

i disasociate often...loose time...and not remember what was said where i was or how i got there...it is very scary to me...one of the things that helps me is keeping a journal...that way i can freely open up and put down my thoughts as they happen...sometimes i go back and read it and not remember doing or saying or feeling those things...when i experience anxiety sometimes it gets so bad i switch, another alter steps in to help me through it....its an unpleasant feeling but it shouldnt last long...i wish you the best

Wow you all answered this as I would have. It is so weird how everyone that has anxiety feels so close to the same way.
