I experience a range of things with my anxiety. Sometimes I have panic attacks where I hyperventilate (sometimes noisily) & end up almost switching off from the world, all the voices around me become louder but it's like I'm not completely in my body, a bit zoned out.
At other times it feels like I've been hit by a hot wave, my mouth goes dry, my mind goes to jelly, I want to run away but my feet are glued to the floor, my heart feels like it's beating so loudly others could hear it and I feel like someone is suffocating me. ( in response to a specific stress)
Then there's the time I have the dry mouth, pounding heart etc but I go very very cold and can't stop shivering or get warm. I normally end up with diarrhea and need to go several times before it ends. ( this is normally in response to a specific stress)
Sometimes (normally) I feel flustered, can't think properly and my breathing speeds up, I can normally calm myself eventually before it gets worse.
Generally I worry constantly about just about everything.
Anyway I'm new to this & don't know if these are all forms of panic attack of something else. I'm not new to these symptoms, but new to admitting them to anyone. Xxx
