Anxiety - What Does It Feel Like For You?

[Lucycat]

Another sign of my anxiety I have identified is my eyes. It is really weird - they flit upwards and out. Once I realise I am doing it I can stop and then think about why it is happening.

When I am completely overwhelmed I have a temper tantrum. Just like a 2 year old - will stamp my feet and wave my hands about. It is really stupid and usually short lived and I feel really daft afterwards. Guess that is the 'inner child' working.

I just get the heart racing, sweaty, elephant on chest thing. No one I am around would ever know unless I told them. I do everything I can to hide those! If I am feeling completely overwhelmed and am in a public scenario, I excuse myself to the restroom and regain composure. I hate them! Today is the first day I haven't had one in several weeks! I am totally thankful!
