My Anxiety Attack

I just wanted to shed a little light on what an anxiety attack feels like to me when I have one.

I remember having my first anxiety attack when I was around 11-years-old.

The anxiety attacks still occur to this day.

WHAT BRINGS THEM ON?

1. Stress

2. Dwelling on things.

3. Nothing at all.

SYMPTOMS/FEELINGS I HAVE WHEN I EXPERIENCE AN ATTACK:

1. Tunnel Vision.

2. Heart Pounding.

3. Nauseated feeling in throat and stomach.

4. Dizziness.

5. Feelings of Hyperventilation.

WHAT FEEL LIKE AFTER ATTACK IS OVER:

1. Weak and light-headed.

2. Need to sit or lay down.

3. Need to control breathing.

After I have the chance to recover from the attack, I feel fine again.

I hope the above listed information gives one an insight into anxiety attacks.

It is not a pleasant experience to go through, but it does get better afterwards.

Have A Great Day. :)

Sincerely,

Melanie
