Anxiety Support Group
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...
About your anxiety? What's that ONE thing you would get rid of more than anything? For me, I think it would be the sharp chest pains. Every time it happens, I start thinking there's something wrong with my heart...then the racing thoughts start (What if I have a heart attack? What if I have heart valve damage? What if this? What if that?)
Man, that's annoying.
What would you get rid of most if you could only choose one thing?

Uncontrollable shaking in social situations. I am not even aware I am anxious, but my body sure does show it.

The fear of having another panic attack.

Insomnia. I feel like it is the root of so much of my problem. I am always so tired yet my motor is running and won't shut off.

It was insomnia..but now I suffer with my heart pounding hard for what seems hours! It's exhausting.

I can relate to all of those. I think that's another one of the bad ones that Sleepy brought up. My mind racing causes lack of sleep, and the lack of sleep makes me more anxious...and when I get over feeling anxious, I'm exhausted, which makes me more anxious. Haha. That sucks. At least we're all messed up together :P I kid.

for me it would be fear of riding in the car. Can't settle down,especially long trips.

The uncontrollable stomachaches when I get anxious or nervous. I can't control them - I can handle the red face, sweating, stuttering, etc. but I can't handle having to run to the bathroom every five minutes when I get nervous!!

The nervousness. I just get to feeling shaky all over and then goes down hill from there. When it starts I just get a bad feeling. I guess thats what I am calling it the nervousness.

The weak in the knees shakes I get. Gosh, they suck. I do the "relax into it" and that helps, but for it to stop forever would be wonderful.

I have incredible throat closing feeling and chest pain. I had a heart condition called SVT where my heart beat 300!!! times per minute. I had a cardiac ablation and was in the hospital 6 days about 2 yrs ago. The anxiety started shortly thereafter. My heart is perfect now, so I know it's not that. But, I get it anyway.
