It’s crazy that when the anxiety feeling goes away the “Normal” feeling feels like heaven

Anxiety is like dying several Times a day....It is truly very difficult to live with it...

Parents: you are ok.
Doctors: you are ok .
Google:your time has come, goodbye.

I feel that my anxiety stole my soul and left me with a body full of fear and pain.

Anyone remember when you were little and didn’t worry about every tiny little pain? I want to restart my life

Anxiety is the whole devil. It feels like death. And I am one of those people who do not have identifiable triggers. My body just starts to freak out. Shortness of breath, pressure in the chest sometimes, shoulder pain, heart palpitations, difficulty swallowing... these symptoms are all stroke and heart attack symptoms. Yet PCP keeps saying there’s nothing in the blood tests that would validate risk for stroke or heart attack. I’m going to see a therapist in a couple of days. Because this shit is the worst.

I pray for anybody else going through this. Wouldn’t wish it on my enemies.

It's funny how a lot of people think this is something we can control.

Also having Anxiety waking up in the morning . Heart literally pounding for no reason

I am diagnosed with anxiety attacks and panic attacks. When I witnessed my very first panic attack I thought I had a stroke. I felt so dizzy, I wasn't able to talk properly and I couldn't feel my arms and legs. I got rushed to the hospital just to hear it was all in my head. Your head can mess your body up big time. And still, people who never went through this will never understand how serious and frightened this is. When you become totally helpless, start crying and beg God to end it no matter in what way.

You forgot insomnia. Hard time falling asleep, racing thoughts and brain unable to shut off. Great video though.

Who else is feeling like sh*t right now because of their anxiety and the pandemic is making it worse?

[iamlexilove]

I can literally be happy and random negative thoughts will start appearing in my head like a broken record. My heart is constantly racing at rest when I think about certain things which is frightening asf. Anxiety is really not a joke. I don’t want any medication so I’m praying to God about this. Anyone who is suffering from Anxiety are going to get through this 🙏

[chynnaimvunation]

I just want my normal life back in want my anxiety to stop

[waleedalhelo]

To whoever dealing with this. IT WILL GET BETTER. I promise you that. You are not going crazy. U will not die because of it. U will be better. Focus on not being scared of the symptoms rather than focusing on getting rid of it. Change whatever can be changed. What can’t just say screw it and move on. It takes a little bit of time but ur effort will show later not right away. Be patient and strong. When u overcome this, u will be stronger than before. Much love and I wish you to be happier than ever

This may sound dark, but it’s almost comforting realizing I’m not alone. Just recently it feels like my anxiety has increased tenfold. I wake up and feel a random pain.. I’m dying. I’m constantly worrying about things that I’ve never worried about before. I grew up with social anxiety, but never knew it.. because it was my norm. Early this year I’ve had my first panic attack and genuinely thought I was having a stroke. I was alone, and sleep deprived. No one was answering their phone, and it felt like I was dreaming. Soon after they’ve constantly came on.. wave after wave. I felt numb after my 20th-ish one. They went away for a week, and I thought it was over. After that week I’ve had my worst and longest one. My body froze, and I thought, once again, stroke. I went to my doctor about it, and they’ve done blood tests, and the only thing that was low was my vitamin d. After, I’ve been digging EVERYTHING up that may have caused my triggers for panic attacks. The only thing that I’ve found suitable was stress. I haven’t had a panic attack for a few days now, but everyday I wake up worrying about something and it gets EXHAUSTING. I get scared I’m going to die from the body pains that I experience due to anxiety. In summary, I just want to thank all of you for sharing your experiences, and even the creator of this video, so I don’t feel alone. This is the loneliest I’ve felt in forever, but now.. I feel a small lift off my shoulders.


Thank you kindly,
Prideful Bitch ❤️

I’ve suffered with a severe anxiety disorder my whole life. For anyone reading this. I have suffered daily with, fast heart rate, light headed, headaches, shaking, weak legs, the fear of thinking I’m dying, feeling of my throat closing over, always googling symptoms of shit thinking I’m dying.
My life was a complete mess, I lost my job, my loved ones, my friends and social life all cause I was scared to step out into the real world and live my life like I once did.

I will tell you this all gets better. I’ve spent my life trying to come better and the way I have done it is by first of all recognising its anxiety and nothing else, taking on board all the feelings I have and letting them go. Keeping a strong mind set and deep breathing while telling your self that this is just my anxiety and I am powerful and my mind is powerful, I will not let this defeat me. Scream it to your self if you have to. I know it’s easier said than done… trust me I really do. But you have to have a strong and positive mind to overcome anxiety. I live with it daily still, but I can manage it now.
I feel for everyone who goes through this as it’s a horrible feeling. But just remember you’re not alone and god bless you all my friends 🙏 things will get better…. I promise
