How do you guys feel when you are scared or anxious?

[JustBenn]

Hi,

I'm just still scared about a faint I experienced on the 1st September, and since then, It never happen again, everyone is telling me not to worry, but knowing me, I will worry, for some reason I think it will happen again,

When I feel anxious,

I have racing thoughts all at the same time.
Sweaty around the head and hands,
Unable to focus or concentrate on what I am doing properly,
I sometimes feel like i'm experiencing the symptoms of the illness i'm worried about!

For example, I read about seizure warning signs, I feel like I'm getting the signs, but the seizure doesn't actually happen, and the symptoms go away when I take my mind off it!

I'd like to hear about how you feel when your anxious?

- Bloated stomach/abdomen
- Urge to defecate
- Loose stools
- Racing heart
- Palpitations
- Shortness of breath
- Chest tightness
- Chest pain
- Hot flashes
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Feeling faint

Sometimes I feel all of the above symptoms simultaneously, others just a few of them.

Tension, nausea, I can't focus. I feel miserable. I want to cry.
Just know that you can cope if you faint you did the last time and if you stop being afraid you'll probably not worry about it (sometimes fear is a vicious cycle )
sometimes I have rnadom aches, very bad headaches and my breathing can be rapid/not relaxed
