Quiet Physical Signs

Besides the emotional distress that comes from having an anxiety disorder, many physical signs are more unconventional and can cause discomfort and make living difficult, which are not often highlighted. 

Stomach troubles- stomach troubles are a common symptom that comes with anxiety. When the body is stressed, your gut becomes disrupted, leading to cramps, nausea, and frequent bathroom trips. For some, these issues may be mild; however, for others they can be more severe, leading to nausea, an inability to eat and even sickness, which can last for days. When thos does happen, it's important to look after your body through soothing mechanisms and try to consume calories through liquids  

Choking feeling- In periods of distress, it's common to experience choking feelings or difficulty breathing. This can also include a tight throat or difficulty catching your breath, which can make your chest feel tight and make you feel dizzy. To combat this, ensure that you are taking deep breaths to calm your nervous system as well as ensuring that you are hydrated. This can help to combat the dizziness as well a seduce the panic around your breathing. 

Quite mental emotional signs

Unreal feelings- When going through a spell of extreme anxiety, many suffer with derealisation or unreal feelings, which can make life seem fake and make them feel unattached from their own body. When this happens, it can be for a few minutes or for multiple days and can make a person feel like they are not living their own life any more, which can be scary and uncomfortable. When spells like this do occur, you can try to ground yourself through techniques. While some like to be creative, such as doing their make-up or lip gloss in different ways, others like to change their routine to break out of the cycle.
