What symptoms does your anxiety give you?

Hi!

I’m just curious...

Have any of you found that your anxiety can be different depending on the situation or that the physical symptoms change every few weeks, months or years?

Also wondering if anyone experiences panic attacks that are different each time?

For example I sometimes experience a racing heart 140-170bpm and other times I experienced missed heart beats for 1-2 minutes followed by extreme shaking

Looking forward to hearing from you all 😊

Since Christmas my anxiety and depression has gone so bad.  Terrible thumb skin picking and backache.  Back ache had gone before xmas.  Too many symptoms to name now,  your palpitations must be frightening for you but at least you do recognise your symptoms now,

Oh Sue, I’m so sorry to hear it’s gotten worse.

Are you seeing a therapist?

Oh I completely understand I have weeks where I get so many varied symptoms and obviously because they are new or different I fear the worst. I think it’s just a matter of getting it checked to ensure it’s nothing serious and accept the anxiety.

Oh very scary and believe me I’m a mess after an attack. It drains me so much. But I haven’t died yet hahaha... So clearly it’s just panic & anxiety.

Sue, I hope your anxiety and depression get better and always remember reach out for help x

Your heart rate for example will change during the day quite often during twenty four hours. This is not strange it depends on hat you are doing, It will be lower at rest and beat faster if you go on a road run.

You will have changes in mood at different times during the year this again will depend on your Anxiety and what you are worrying about. However as you get older your Anxiety should become less of a problem

Heck, it must be exhausting after an attack like you’ve run a marathon and must need time to recover.  If you’ve had it all checked at least you know what it is and if anything triggers it for you.  I did have NHS counselling but it didn’t work for me.  I am at a point where I can hardly speak now feel so low, I know it’s xmas and having to be around people.  I have no idea who to go to for help now and the feeling of not being Christmassy has made me so low, like you are a freak for feeling so numb.
