hand shakes

[moomintroll]

not sure if there is a thread for this or not, one of symptoms of my anxiety is the shakes, especially my hands, the right one being worse, does anybody else suffer from this, i have it 24/7 sometimes or i go for a couple of days when i don't, its worse if i am feeling anxious and i then cannot even hold something, i have got to the stage if i am out i stand with my arms folded or sit on my hands, i find it very embarrassing and at times scary, does anybody else have any helpful advice?

Hello there :3
Whenever I have a panic attack, my hands start to shake like hell too. My muscles even thighen up, like I'm going to have a major cramp in both hands D: But you don't have to worry about it! It's your anxiety that makes those things happen. One of the advices I can give you is try to breathe slowly and calm yourself; you know that these shaking is just anxiety, so you don't have anything to worry about. :D
