I tried focusing on the sounds around me instead of my thoughts — the trees, birds, wind, my footsteps, even the sound of branches/crunching under my shoes .

I tried to just observe and stay present instead of analyzing every feeling or thought in my head. I’m not fully okay yet, but I genuinely felt calmer after, so I want to keep doing this daily.

Try to take walk outside it could help !

About 4 days ago I had a really bad anxiety/panic episode, and mentally I feel a bit calmer now, but my body still feels affected 😭

Like I still have chest tightness/knot feeling and just feel physically uncomfortable even though my thoughts aren’t as intense anymore. Does anyone else get this?

Guys do you wanna use this post to collectively bully anxiety and vent all our negative thoughts about it

Like genuinely… what’s the thing you hate MOST about anxiety/panic? The overthinking? Physical symptoms? Random fear? Health anxiety? Let it all out.

I feel like my whole body is pulsating after the panic attack. My muscles get really tight and twitchy, I have reflux, gas, and burping, and my body feels so weak and exhausted. I also barely have an appetite, and I feel like my body gets weaker when I don’t eat.”

Like after raising your iron/ferritin levels, did your anxiety, dizziness, panic feelings, or constant worrying get better?

I feel like low iron might be affecting me more mentally/physically than I realized.

​

I feel like anxiety affects me physically a lot sometimes, and I’ve been wondering if medication actually helps with overthinking, panic, and physical symptoms.

Can anyone describe the physical symptoms they get from anxiety/panic that feel similar to heart problems? 😭

Like chest tightness, palpitations, pressure, dizziness, left arm pain, feeling faint, etc. I want to know how anxiety feels for other people physically.

Like a weird off-balance or dizzy feeling even when you’re technically fine? Sometimes anxiety makes me feel unsteady and it scares me so much. Even so everything is okay ....

Sometimes I get nervous bc no one would here to help me if something happens to me like I fainted or something but in the same time I get nervous when anyone around if something happened and that makes me madddddd lol 😭

Are you starting to feel nervous and anxious after one panic attack? Bc I still remember that day an I wish that I let it go and I didn't focus .

Does anyone else get left arm pain, chest tightness, or weird chest sensations from anxiety/panic? 😭

I’m 22 and I also have acid reflux/GERD. I’ve had ECGs, an echo, and chest x-rays before and everything was normal, but I still get scared sometimes.
