Been dealing with a bad storm of aniexty this past week and started to feel "better" today, helpful people on here etc. Got to work and I literally was feeling "ok" trying to remain level and this person out of the blue came in to the area where I am and startled me ........I began the racing symptoms etcand took a while for me to calm down. I'm really upset and just got back to feeling "normal" ...........has this happened to you? Startled then panic mode then upset .......any help? Thx
Yes .Lars, think over years I must have had most symptoms I read about on here. Hellish what anxiety can do. On a few occasions over the years I had similar anxiety / panic. Remember once my hubby walked up behind me in kitchen. He didn't say anything or try to suppose me he simply walked in, I turned round and as I didn't realise he was there I almost jumped out of my skin and gasped, my husbands face was so shocked that I could be so nervous at just turning round and seeing him I could tell by his face he realised just how anxious/ panicky/etc I am. After this my heart was racing , shaking and felt trembly and a little mad and upset at what a state I felt. Had anxiety for years and cope much better than years ago but really frustrating how we get so many symptoms, sometimes when we are actually anxious about something but also sometimes come from nowhere when we're feeling relatively good. Hope it helps to know this happens to others. Just another unpleasant symptom of horrid anxiety. 😊❤️
Yes it's true we get "so many symptoms" .......I'm battling all these fears/worries today esp within my body - sensations, nervous feelings and constantly telling myself "no that's not real" or "you can't harm me" it's all very unpleasant you got that right.....it comes and goes.
