Like you’re completely fine, then out of nowhere your heart starts racing and your thoughts won’t stop. No clear trigger, just this uneasy feeling.
What do you do to calm yourself when it happens?
Lately I’ve been getting panic attacks and they feel so physical it honestly scares me every time. My chest gets tight, heart races, I feel shaky/lightheaded, and my brain immediately thinks something is seriously wrong. Even when I calm down, I’m left exhausted and anxious about it happening again.
Just wanted to ask what do panic attacks feel like for you guys, and what actually helps in the moment?
I’ve been dealing with this weird kind of anxiety lately where nothing specific is wrong, but I still feel on edge almost all the time. It’s like this constant background noise in my head that I can’t switch off.
Some days it’s mild, other days it hits harder racing thoughts, overthinking small things, and just this general uneasy feeling. I try to distract myself, but it doesn’t always work.
I guess I just wanted to ask does anyone else experience this kind of “general” anxiety? If yes, what helps you cope with it?
