Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

What does you anxiety feel like in your mind and body?  I have it constantly and need reassurance it is common for me to feel like this.  Thank you for your support.

Get hydrated. Practice movement gently to release tension. Keep a journal to help you figure out your usual pattern of thought.

You can reassure your self with your journal, to compare feelings, emotions, physical sensations.

Anxiety is natural. It's being aware of anxiety that you're coping with, so use what you are feeling to help you figure out what it does to help you be aware!

Best wishes.

Thank you for saying that out loud. I literally believed I was suffering from multiple heart attacks.....

I even spoke with a doctor about medication. As soon as she reassured me anxiety attacks can't kill me, I declined meds.

She gave me homework. I've found allot of help from meditation websites.

They help, especially to fall asleep.

But, I've also started to journal regularly. So I'm able to learn my triggers.

When they begin, I start talking to myself.

So people can think I'm having a heart attack or talking with myself.

These little things have made a huge difference.

At my worse I fell to the ground at a sporting event. There's allot of situations I limit while I'm in progression.

Wish you best of luck and you aremind not alone!!!

I have been suffering from anxiety for over 5 years, and I think I have it mostly under control now. That being said, this morning my heart rate was 135 and I had chest pain; inmediatly i went to the internet to see what was wrong with me. I am still scared of how my chest hurt but it's probably just anxiety

So, yes. It comes and go, we have to learn to be patient and watch the anxiety happen without judgment

Good luck!

Big yes ! You are a badass for all that you go through and deal with. I remind myself that all the time when i feel crappy about my panic or depression. People don't realize how strong we are (those of us who suffer from mental illness) and we need to give ourselves credit. Much love

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
