What Does An Anxiety Attack Feel Like?
Often people ask me "what does an anxiety attack feel like?". My response is always "It feels like the world is crushing down on you and you have no hope of recovery". A pretty bleak feeling indeed.
I have been suffering from panic attacks and anxiety attacks for 20 years and honestly anyone who has ever felt one of these knows that it can be one of the worst things you will ever deal with. Over the last 20 years I have done everything under the sun to try and cure these attacks. It wasn't until I found Free-Your-Anxiety.US that I really felt hopeful about my life. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own pain we forget to take action.
If you think you might be suffering from anxiety attacks read on to find some symptoms.

What Does An Anxiety Attack Feel Like?
When we talk about people having an addiction we may say "they have a monkey on their back". Well when you are talking about what an anxiety attack feels like an elephant is more appropriate then a monkey. Having an anxiety attack feels like a giant elephant of stress is crushing down on you and you can't escape. There may not even be a rational reason why you feel this way. I once remember I had an anxiety attack about how my car was parked. The two people I was with thought I was nuts. I literally started to have a brake down because my car wasn't in the space straight. To on lookers it may seem like such a small thing but to you it's really a combination of a lot of things all coming down on you at once. Here are some physical signs of anxiety attacks:- Shortness of breath.
- Sweating.
- Fainting.
- Chest Pains.
- Nerves tick.
- Aggression.
- Hysteria.
- Irrational behavior.
Those are just a few things you may feel during a panic attack. Keep in mind there are other things that may cause the things in the above list so always consult your doctor.
If you have ever taken anti-anxiety medication you know that it has nasty side effects including increasing dependency, irritability, sleepiness or sluggishness. Who would want to live with that? I remember taking my anxiety medication and sleeping an extra 4 hours a day I always felt like taking a nap and I never got anything done. My family and friends suffered from me taking the medication. I am happy I have discovered other ways to cure my anxiety attacks but I wish I had found Free-Your-Anxiety.US sooner.

- Hi I'm Amanda, I enjoyed reading your lens about anxiety attack. It's really excellent!!!
I've often found people have driving anxiety because they feel out of control and overwhelmed by too much information. They may even remember bad situations from the past. Breathing control and visualization are some of the techniques I get people to use to overcome their anxiety. You can find some more good information on panic attacks and how to overcome driving fear on these other lenses.
