Anxiety can make me nervous. Then I feel dizzy. I try to stop, pause and breath. That seems to help

It can make it where my heart feels like it’s beating outve my chest and I can also feel like I’m going to pass out or I can get sweaty.

That’s why I avoid the things what can trigger my anxiety and avoid toxic people I used to smoke and I was a chimney smoker I did it because it would seem to calm me down with my anxiety for the moment but in reality since cigarettes are stimulants in the long run it only makes it worse especially when your about to run out.

I think eating a healthy lifestyle helps and drinking water helps and exercising on a regular basis is very important.

Hi Sweetgirl,
It can make you have bad heart palpitations. And make you sweat. That's an awful feeling. Remember it will pass and you won't pass out. That's a scary feeling.
Having positive people in your life is very important. Negative people will only bring you down. It's good you stopped smoking too. Better for your health and lungs.
Eating healthy and exercising is a must!!!
Love my yoga. And staying hydrated also is important. I dirink lots of water. Thanks for your comments.

the start-up, all natural anxiety --the way nature intended our survival instincts to work-- feels like a subtle heightening of my senses with a gentle tingling sensation. the kind that gives me goosebumps. it passes with the assurance that i am safe.

fully escalated to psychotic break levels, anxiety feels like what i imagine dropping a blow dryer in the bath water feels like. ouchus maximus with pro intervention needed for recovery. recovery takes what it takes.

Hi Arfie,.
That's a good description of how you feel. But knowing that your gonna be safe and nothing is wrong or gonna happen to you is half the battle.
Now dropping a blow dryer in the bath doesn't sound like fun. That's a shock waiting to happen. Ouch!!!! Thank you for your comnents.

You got a good sense of humor. Love reading your comments. They are hilarious.

Sweating, struggling to get a good gasp of air, chills. Fight or flight kicks in and I feel like I need to start running away. Where? I don’t know but it’s sure better than where I am now

Hi erodr133,
Sorry to hear about all your anxiety. Those are very common symptoms. Try to do some deep breathing. That might help. Maybe take a walk or exercise when you feel like running away. Hope you feel better. Thanks for your comment.

my anxiety happens in social situations really, even when im around my family most times. just feel like nobody wants to talk to me, the things i have to say isn't important or most of the time i have absolutely nothing to say. i never have anything to say. i think my anxiety like clears my mind of anything interesting and it goes in survival mode which is so annoying... i dont even know how to explain my anxiety when im around people that i dont know. its like i dont want to look at them and when they try to talk to me i never know what to say and my chest gets really tight. most of the time when i start to feel that way i just go away to a back room and i wont come out until they leave. im unable to get a job because of my mental health, and i know that its so hard because i have tried to, probably not enough but ive tried, and everytime i have never stayed there for longer than 2 months, i always leave. everyday i wake up and its a day i go into work, i have just the worst morning and i cry a lot. its like i have a phobia of work at this point. my entire day is ruined up until i leave work, then its an awesome day bc, i did it! but then the next day its the fuckng same and im fucking MISERABLE. I NEED to start making money to help my bf but god its so hard and no one understands me.

My anxiety today made it hard to interact with people even over the phone. I could feel the anxiety like a electrical force shooting through my body with no existing exit. I had to go out the house and it took hours of effort to leave. I questioned every decision and stayed stuck in fear of making the wrong decision so I went back and forth not only in my head but on the phone. I sure the person on the other end of the phone conversation thought my sanity was in question, which inturn I almost lost a good opportunity.

Hi i_am_blanca
Sometimes I have a hard time interacting with people too. Either in person or on the phone. In my head I think that they can tell. But I think it's just the anxiety telling me that. I'm glad you were able to get out of the house. I'm sure you did just fine in person with people and over the phone. Don't doubt yourself. That only makes matters worse. Just be you and say whats on your mind and try not to let your anxiety get the best of you. That's half the battle. You got this!!!! Thanks for your comment.
