Why is it that whenever im feeling anxious the physical symptoms start before the mental ones take over. like ill literally just be sitting there minding my business and all of a sudden my heart rate spikes and my hands and feet start sweating. and now im worried about a heart attack even tho im completely healthy.
hey everyone
so I’ve suffered with anxiety my entire life and I often get panic attacks. and although I can live though them and know I’ll feel way better after having them i hate when I spend my entire day having the physical symptoms of anxiety just waiting for it to get to the tipping point and topple over for something that’s gonna last 2 minutes. does anyone have any tips on essentially forcing yourself into a panic attack to get it over with? I do have Xanax but honestly I have a fear on medication and of dependence on it so I’m trying to get into other solutions that doesn’t involve medications.
