What is your anxiety like?

Hi Aimee, I too have anxiety/panic attacks and OCD😊 I have had this my entire life along with germaphobiia. I saw a Stress management dr for about 10 years after my children were born and my husband had to be deployed out for 911. It was a long road but I believe it has made me stronger and I have come to embrace my oddities. I Love to clean and Music so I just lose myself in that. I do take medications which help and knowing that I come to terms with it makes a big difference. I am also struggling with Myotonia Congenita which is a rare muscle disease. My panic attacks make me feel like I cannot breath and my heart twinges. It’s horrible but you are not alone. I have little quotes or sayings I say to myself to get me back to (my normal) self. Don’t be so hard on yourself and try to stay positive. Negativity only feeds the anxiety and panic attacks. Hope this helps a little😊😊

Hello!!
I do all I can to get through the day, but I can't explain this pain I get. Many people say it's coming from my anxiety and my stress responses are in fight or flight 24hrs a day. But how do I fix it to see if it's that? I'm so defeated. I just want answers so I can get back to my life. I have had anxiety/panic my entire life, but I have never had pain from it. I am certain that some of the symptoms are anxiety, but this pain? It seems to hold left and I just don't know what it is.
