Anxiety seems to become a habit too. After a long time of experiencing it without knowinghow to address it, the body may treat it like a default

This has been my life since I was a kid. I thought it was normal, and happened to everyone who had anxiety..

@Shaan I hear ya. I'll get anxiety symptoms out of the blue, for no reason whatsoever. I got a backrub one time at the chiropractor's office, and it started out so relaxing that I thought I was going to fall asleep, and then the anxiety symptoms came on. I can relate, very much, to this video.

Literally did nothing and then BOOM anxiety

Dude I get anxiety out of nowhere....and I have been hospitalized...like my oxygen levels dropped to 30 my pupils dilated...and I turned bright red/orange and lost my sight and hearing...so I get terrible panic attacks. I have to be on alot of xanax bars now to function

Yes this makes sense. I awoke this morning with anxiety being at a level ten and it has fluctuated between levels 8-10 all morning, extremely high, and lots of symptoms , and very uncomfortable. The nerves are so sensitized(primed and ready to go, ready to act) that it perceives everything as a threat. So I sit down to check and read an email, and the anxiety goes blasting to a level 10. I check Instagram on my phone, boom, level 10, decide to take a walk around the neighborhood, boom level 10 again. I even took notes while watching this video, and now as I reread my notes, the anxiety is blasting back up again, just reading. These are HARMLESS, BENIGN, unthreatening activities and my brain thinks they are sabertooth tigers, responding to EVERYTHING as a THREAT. I get a huge dump of adrenalin and cortisol each time and then get all the symptoms, dizziness, palpitations, weak wobbly legs, fell like passing out, whole body shaking. Well everything is NOT a threat and I have to teach my brain to respond to this "false alarm" appropriately.

For me it’s the fear of throwing up. My brain tells me I should not be dehydrated, so I drink more water but then I drink TOO much water and my body starts experiencing over hydration (which I never knew was a thing) and after that I just become so aware of every fibre in my body and it starts worrying that I’ll be sick and then I get so anxious and honestly I have found the best solution to not be still but distract yourself, if I feel anxious at work I get up and start doing any tasks that may require me to walk around, shelving, photocopying, going to talk to colleagues, but remaining in one space and just overthinking as to what might be happening makes it worst. I just wish it would go away.

Wow I've never thought about the water thing, but the Journaling i have done and it HAS done wonders it helps with anxiety and anger when i cant explain on words

This is me this is how my body respond EVERYTHING is a threat so how do I fix this ?

The symptoms be soo random! How annoying 😂

yeah, i lit get anxious to tell the bus driver to stop on my stop

Back in school, we didnt have medication for anxiety.

Yo bro I have understand this and I have anxiety nervousness or stress but now it's like normal for me and it's not effects me I just have it sometimes from no where I am okay

Anxiety is fckn me but im happy its here.

Yup thats me

One time a girl she told the boy next to me she feels bad I have to sit next to him and I couldn’t breathe and I heard him whispering to his friend I thought it was about me not having my materials at school and I ran to the bathroom trying to clam down but it wouldn’t work

How do i stop it?

This just me

Sometimes I feel like I can’t breathe. It’s been a year now since this has happened. Went to doctors they say I am fine. Heart fine. Lungs fine. Blood oxygen fine. I’m even going to therapy for it. Nothings changing and I’m getting depressed. I’m getting good sleep. Eating well. Exercising regularly. I don’t know what to do. It feels like I’m suffocating.
